Movie Review: Roar - The Complete series
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to agree with you but the truth is studio execs that have no concept of what people wanted for entertainment. Just look at your TV Guide and look for something good which you will find very hard.It has been growing in that direction now for a very long time..I also can see it will not stop for some time because the public is excepting of it but their will come a day people will stop watching even if they have to watch their own DVD's which is what I am beginning to do now that I have a lot of DVD's tv shows and movies. Works for me.Think about it TV programing is over 80% or more Reruns so why not put my DVD's in the line up. I have stopped watching these stupid reality shows .. Where the man looking for a wife never marriesthe one he oicks and the Lady never marries a guy she picks either..The only one that works is the talent shows those work but the only one that do..Movie Review: Think Hercules & Zena but 100 times better
Summary: 5 Stars
Long ago, at the edge of the known world, the last Celtic tribes were fighting for survival. The great continent had fallen to the Romans and this remote, untamed island was the final stronghold of the ancient ways. If the people and the land were to endure they would have to rise up as one against the invaders, and this they did. With a fury. It was a time of treachery, a time of magic, a time of war. It was a time of heros and the monumental deeds that made them legends. A youth, a reluctant hero, rises from tragedy to listen to the ancient voices to free his people from enslavement in the land that will become known as Ireland.
Heath Ledger plays Conor, the reluctant hero and he is just one of the actors in the amazing short-lived series. If you enjoy fantasy, good fight scenes, humor and passionate characters then Roar is for you.
Movie Review: Extremely well done
Summary: 5 Stars
This series is a total delight with no disappointment for me. Being a fan of medieval and movies about old Roman and Greek times, this one is another welcome addition to my library of "fun to watch" series. The cast was well chosen and each new character seems to add to the series. The Celtic type music score is no disappointment either. Even better, so far no "flying dragons" or hyped up ideas such as many other series of this type so often have. Beautiful filmography. This series plays in good clarity and sound as well has subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. This is something often missing even in higher priced series and is very essential for someone over 62 such as myself. I wish I had to money to buy this set for for many persons on my Christmas list this year. The main star being Heath Ledger doesn't hurt either. He is very talentedMovie Review: Worth it!

Heath Ledger is so good at accents! If you thought his western accent was good in Brokeback Mountain, listen to his celtic accent in Roar. He is my favorite Aussie. The series is reminescient of Xena and Hercules, but with a more continuing storyline throughout the series. I first saw this airing as re-runs on the Sci-fi network, but learned it was orignally aired in 1997. They did not release this on DVD until late 2006; there were a few online petitions begging for it's release. I enjoyed this show, especially the fact that the fight scenes were not overdone, although sometimes a little hard to believe.Movie Review: Enjoyable...
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed being able to watch this series again, and I'm still sad that the series never continued after the first season. Most of the episodes don't flow together and storylines typically don't carry-over into future episodes. The teasers on the back of each of the three cases do not correspond to the episodes on each DVD, nor are the teasers in the correct order (which is confusing if you are trying to use the teasers as a guide for watching the episodes).
Overall, this is an enjoyable series, but not for people who are looking for a "factual" series.
