Movie Reviews of Ladyhawke
Movie Review: A movie for the ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classy movie. Michelle Pfeiffer and Rutger Hauer are in their prime; Matthew Broderick is darling at that age and is a continuing friend to both of them. I loved the look on Rutger Hauer's face when Phillippe called her "Ladyhawke". The characters actors were excellent. You will hate the Bishop for lusting after Isabeau. The monk was someone you trusted right away. The scenery, especially the hawk flying over the lake, was exquisite. The music, though not my style, fit the mood perfectly and it lasts with you long after the movie is over. All the actors, animals, music, scenery fit... and added up to one classy movie. An emotional and moving experience you should not want to miss.
Movie Review: Cult classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Ladyhawke is even better revisited.
I first saw this film in the theatres and on VHS over 20 years ago. It has aged well, and like fine wine, improved. Who couldn't fall in love with Michelle Pfeiffer in this movie. Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick, and the cast created a mood film, that says 'Try and stop watching me'. Add to the mix the Andrew Powell (Allan Parsons) soundtrack, and you have a winner.
Fairy tale romance? It's here.
Swordplay...it's here!
Classic film, pick Ladyhawke. Schuler/Donner should be knighted for this film.
Movie Review: Ladyhawke never fails to move me...
Summary: 5 Stars
A fantasy, dealing with the curse of star-crossed lovers, Ladyhawke never fail to be top-notch entertainment. The cast is exceptional, and get their characters right. It's all too easy to fall into the story and believe what's going on.
Along with "Dragonslayer", this is one of the top fantasy movies. The story is compelling, the setting has a very gritty, dirty feel to it, and the location just adds to the overall feeling of living in the middle ages.
This is not a movie I can just put on 'in the background' and let play while doing other things, because it suck me in every time.
Movie Review: Don't Miss The Horse
Summary: 5 Stars
Other reviews have pointed out the perfect characterizations of the hero and heroine, the evil Bishop, the bumbling cowardly priest, but for goodness sake don't miss the hero's horse. This horse is the real thing! Bred in the middle ages to carry the knight with all his armor, this magnificent animal really is what he appears to be: the medieval equivalent of the Tiger Tank. Watch him strike down evil, and carry the hero to victory. After the first 10 minutes you will forget the anachronistic boy's behaviour and become submerged in the best movie fairytale since The Wizard of Oz.Movie Review: My all time favorite fantasy film.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved this movie since it's release in the late 1980's. Matthew Broderick stole the movie as Phillipe the Mouse, but it was the love story that kept me watching it over and over again. To the point that I own both the video and the DVD.If there's a complaint to be made about this film, it's the music. The Alan Parsons Project were a fine band, but the electronic 80's pop soundtrack detracts too much from the film and dates it as well.
What else can you say about a movie whose themes have been reused, as of late, in countless movies and television shows.
