Movie Reviews of Lorna Doone
Movie Review: Quality adaptation
Summary: 5 Stars
Adapting as good a novel as this was never going to be easy but the BBC did a great job.
Richard Coyle, for once in a serious role, plays John Ridd exceptionally well despite the fact that John Ridd is supposed to be a giant of a man!
Amelia Warner is also excellently cast as the "English Rose" heroine Lorna.
Those unfamiliar with the story won't want to pause the DVD until the very end, due to the gripping storyline.
Those, like myself, whom are lifelong fans of R D Blackmore will remain impressed throughout with the high quality of acting, locations and camera work. The musical score also works well along side of these.
Thoroughly recommended for viewers of all ages and particularly those who might find the book a bit long.
Movie Review: Heart warming
Summary: 5 Stars
Star crossed lovers..... hmmmm? Remind you of some famous Shakespeare play? Yes, Lorna Doone reminds me of the ever popular Romeo and Juliet. Though it is set in England, circa 16th/ 17th century, Lorna warms the heart the way only a few movies do. John witnesses the murder of his father, assinated by the notorious Doones, and vows to hate them for the rest of his days. One day, he meets young Lorna, who tells him never to return. Until years later, he doesn't. He goes back and falls in love with her. Amelia Warner is marvelous in the title role. Watch this Movie! Read the Book! You WILL become hooked on LORNA DOONE.Movie Review: Should be on the big screen!

If I could only have ONE book on a desert island, R.D. Blackmore's classic Lorna Doone would be it. This book is often overlooked which is a shame. It has all the elements of a great story with plenty of twists. Far and away one of the greatest romances ever written.This dvd is just superb. If you haven't read the book ,this will introduce you to this excellent story. The acting ,filming,script are all first rate.You will not be disappointed! I wish I could get the soundtrack!Movie Review: Great !

If you like romance, you will like this one! All I can say is Richard Coyle is a HOTTIE!!! The plot was good, but I was left with wanting more. I would have made it longer. I wanted more details about where Lorna Doone came from. The acting was good, but the female lead character's acting was not all that good, in my opinion. I needed more details! But overall it was good!If anyone know what else has Richard Coyle have done, please let me know.
Movie Review: Lorna Doone is powerful, well acted, and a great story.
Summary: 5 Stars
If anyone enjoys historic drama and strong film making, this is for you. We first saw it at a friend's after dinner and at first I thought it would be a silly old-time English love story. How wrong I was...
This has powerful story lines, action, violence, war, intrigue, and of course a love story. Many plots and outcomes were completely unexpected. We enjoyed it so much that I had to buy it. Not a dull moment in it's full 2 1/2 hour run.
