Movie Reviews of Prince Valiant
Movie Review: Prince Valiant- An overlooked Gem From the 50's
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is a pure joy to behold! The sets, costumes and even the cast have been made to resemble Hal Foster's comic strip as much as was humanly possible! Being an enthusiastic Prince Valiant reader I was stunned one Thanksgiving when I was around 10 or so as the special Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie turned out to be Prince Valiant. I watched in utter amazement as the vibrantly colorful,action-filled film presented itself as a visually stunning and faithful rendition of Foster's vision. I had had no idea such a movie existed and have treasured it always. This year I am happy to say my VHS Taped copy of the film has been replaced by a fine Quality DVD purchased from amazon! I Highly recommend this film to all those who love a good, light-hearted adventure Tale!Movie Review: The "Singing Sword" rocks!
Summary: 4 Stars
Prince Valiant is old school Hollywood - when good was really corny Christian Vikings and evil was the Black Knight (who was also probably a Christian) in league with a group of not quite yet Christian Vikings. This movie is a lot of campy fun with over the top performances by Wagner, Mason and Leigh (she is just magnetic for Hollywood Vikings, it seems!). That being said, there are two really wonderful scenes near the end of the movie that combine a very stirring score with spunky action on the part of Robert Wagner (the vindication for his really bad hair day during the first 3 acts of the film).Movie Review: I'm eleven again
Summary: 4 Stars
As soon as I began this DVD, I found myself setting in the massive RKO Keith's theater in Downtown Dayton, Ohio. The reason I purchased the disk was for that reason. I am 100% satisfied for in that department.The film score by Franz Waxman is perfection. It is dramatic and fun. As an adult, I wish that the transfer had been in Dolby 5.1.
The performances are appropriate for this film except for Mr. Mason who does no wrong.
I would like to add that the sword fight at the end of the film is of equal to the excitement found in the final duel in Scaramouche.
Movie Review: Favorite Movie but bad DVD transfer
Summary: 4 Stars
A huge fan of both Hal Foster's original strip and of this movie despite all it's changes to the mythos of Prince Valiant, I can only add one comment at this time: The DVD transfer once again seems to be from a lackluster print, as I noticed with John Ford's "The Quiet Man". I love these big colorful cinemascope pictures and I can only hope that as we move into the HD world, new prints will be struck from the negative and we can get a good transfer of such favorites as "Prince Valiant" and "The Quiet Man".Movie Review: Prince Valiant
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie is one of my boyhood favorites. Robert Wagner did a pretty good job in this movie even though he was so young. I like the beautiful women - Janet Leigh, Debra Paget in this also.I'm just crazy about Knights, Castles, Vikings and the whole Medevil period. Also, the music score by Franz Waxman is extremely good.
