Movie Reviews of Ladyhawke
Movie Review: The Mouse has Left the House.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love a fairy tale that has all the components: good guys, bad guys, a great love story and a young Matthew Broderick. Also there is a ruined castle and a marvelous black horse that dances rather than walks or trots.
But the hawk is spectacular as it soars above the water dipping its' talons as it flies and accompanied by beautiful background music.
Actors are all outstanding including Michelle Pfeiffer, Rutger Hauer,Leo McKern and John Wood. But, Broderick is a real winner as the "mouse." He is a thief who talks to God and becomes drawn in to the tragic love story. But like all good fairy tales, there is a happy ending.
This is a 1985, flick but if you enjoy a very sweet story with a lot of action, this is a must see!
Movie Review: Awesome Adventure, great fantasy film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film restored my faith in that medieval fantasy films can be great films. Anyone else notice that the director is Richard Donner? Lethal Weapon ring a bell? I loved this film. A dear friend showed it to me not very long ago, and I almost immediately went out and purchased it. If you love swords, sorcery, and love that is forever this movie is for you. Matthew Broderick is great, I have never liked him better in any other film, maybe Ferris Bueller, but it's hard to decide in my mind. Despite the big names Matthew steals the show in my mind. He makes this movie with his witty dialogue and inspired performance. I only hope this film will one day inspire some else to make another film like it, but with out the cheesiness of something like Conan.Movie Review: CLASSY MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this at Blockbusters and have watched it 4 times. Another love story in medieval times. The photography, in my opinion, is stunning. Especially watch for the hawk flying across the lake. An evil bishop casts a spell on Isabeau and Navarre because he cannot have Isabeau. What a sore loser!! She turns into a hawk at daylight and he turns into a wolf at sunset.
What a kick to see a very young Matthew Broderick and a gorgeous Michelle Phieffer. Rutger Hauer is so good also, but turn down that awful music!! What were they thinking?
An outcast monk befriends (reluctantly)the lovers and it is one tight scene after another. The ending is on the edge of your seat adventure. But dont worry, love finds a way!!!!!
Movie Review: One of the best movie of the 1980s
Summary: 5 Stars
Wide Screen review gave both 3 stars for audio and video. I would disagree. The Dolby surround 5.1 on this mid 1980s movie is simply wonderful. You can hear horse galloping, draw bridge, and jungle sound from your surround channel. The only drawback is not enough bass. But the Dolby Digital sound is wonderful. No problem with the picture as well. Bright and clear. This movie is certainly the best movie for Richard Donner (as director), Michelle Pfeiffer (as the leading actress) and Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick(as the leading actors). You should know the storyline by now, about a couple who were cursed. One to be hawk at day the other as wolf as night so they can never meet as human being. Wonderful movie and excellent DVD.Movie Review: For what it is, a great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that i have grown up with, so i am probably much more forgiving than some other reviewers. The musical score is very much the 80s' stereotype; bouncy, happy, and up tempo, but i personally think it works. Everyone gives good performances, and there is blessedly a lack of cheesy special effects. I'm sure that people coming home from "attack of the clones" or something will be disappointed, but the lack of eye candy meant that the actors had to actually act, instead of letting stupid computer animated creations take the attention off of them. Overall, a good fantasy movie with fun performances and a decent plotline. Magic, religion and matthew broderick - somehow it all pulls together for a great movie.
