Movie Review: Love Story With Some Awsome Music
Summary: 5 Stars
Ladyhawk is my all time favorite movie (along with my favorite music). Ever since I saw it as a little girl I have been intrigued by this film. It has all the elements of a great film. There is love, tragedy, action, and comic relief. In my opinion the music in this film is esquisite. To say it doesn't fit suggest that those people have a weak imagination. This music is what drew me to the film. It has a heroic yet tradgic love all in one. If you can't hear that you must be deaf. There are several clips that I love because of the music itsef. The score at the beginning, the first fight with Nauva, when he is looking at sunset, when Isabeau first apears, when Isabeau is hurt, when the hawk flies over the water, when they almost touch, and the end when they do touch. So there you have it. Those are just a few parts that give me butterflies in my stomach because of the MUSIC! So like I said before if those of you can't see that poo on you.Movie Review: Flying with the Hawke
Summary: 5 Stars
"Ladyhawke" is a creative fantasy romance tale. Isabeau (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Navarre (Rutger Hauer) are doomed to be "eternally together, forever apart." By day, she is a hawk. By night, he is a wolf. Who can save them? A young thief named Mouse (Matthew Broderick) The fairy tale has inventive twists on the standard fantasy genre. The noble Navarre is a Dark Knight, his opponents are clad in white, including the evil bishop (John Wood) The Mouse is the good thief. Isabeau has cropped hair,as if she were a nun,or of the more androgynous type. Leo McKern (of the Prisoner series) is a repentant priest. To top it all off,there's music from the Alan Parsons Project.
"Ladyhawke" has plenty of romance and suspense. There's a bittersweet quality to Isabeau and Navarre's romance. One wonders if they'll be reunited in the end and their curse broken. For a romance,it's amazing. Take flight with Ladyhawke and be transported!
Movie Review: Favorite for Years!
Summary: 5 Stars
The plot is explained well in other reviews, but I would like to make a personal comment on this movie.
Ladyhawke has been a favorite movie of mine for many, many years. A friend and I caught it by chance in 1985 at a theatre where we had seen everything else before and I was hooked immediately!! Through the years since then, I found myself continually trying to get other people to see it, but it was only in 2004 that I was able to make a copy of it on VHS to show to friends that also came to enjoy the film.
When I first saw the rave comments listed in this review column, I finally felt vindicated for calling it one of my favorite movies all these years. I'm so excited that there are other people who not only feel the way I do, but are putting the word out for others to check out Ladyhawke. I don't think anyone who does will be disappointed!!!!
Movie Review: Great Movie :)
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie for those who want the plot to carry the story, this movie satisfies both the "chick flick" genre and the adventure/fantasy genre. The setting is Midieval France in which the 4 main charactors, the evil bishop which must be overcome, the unassuming thief unwittingly drawn into the drama, and the two lovers suffering from the tormenting enchantment which keeps them separated, do battle for the final outcome. This movie is noteably without a lot of gratuitous sex or language issues, and while it has some violence in the form of sword fights, it is by no means graphic. I would be comfortable letting school-aged children watch this movie, and it is a refreshing change from the standard fare at the movies or on tv. Get the popcorn and the treats, sit back and prepare to be entertained with this compelling adventure from long ago :)Movie Review: Scenes from this movie have stayed with me for years
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw it in the theatre, prompted by buying the tie-in book. (Yes, there's a book, with a slightly altered story, by Joan Vinge, no less. It's almost impossible to find now.) The entire small audience was mesmerized by the movie, and I rushed out and bought the VHS tape at full price. I watch it about once a year, and lend it out to others regularly. It's time to get the DVD. Many people comment on the music. I find it annoying in some spots, but the scene with the hawk over water is fine, and the music works very well in the big fight scene, adding to the tension and to the shock at the sound break. If you've seen the movie you know what I mean. It's a movie for tough-minded romantics, people who enjoy fantasy, and people who want to look at beautiful cinematography of Italian hills and rocks.
