Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

skipperkd I have seen the entire series and enjoyed it a great deal, but several things bothered me about this movie. I liked some scenes, primarily those involving Elizabeth Quinn, the grandmother. Since I give the movie a low rating, I will explain why, without any spoilers: First, it is entirely set in Boston, so we see none of our old friends from Colorado Springs. As for the plot, several things seemed impossible or highly implausible. Events that should have taken weeks or possibly months occurred too fast, including a voyage across the Atlantic. And how was it possible to send a message to France in just a day? Marconi had not yet invented the wireless system and telegraphs couldn't be sent across the ocean without that technology. The plot included several paper-thin sequences, including attempted murder (with no credible motivation for such a drastic move) and a sudden medically unexpected death (and no attempt to explain it). Furthermore, I felt uncomfortable with what felt like a glorification of the Quinn women, Michaela and Colleen. Then the glorification of Brian at his new job (which by the way contradicted the naval career he had in the Christmas Carol episode, where Michaela saw the future). I liked it much better when the family had to strive hard for everything. I didn't feel any heart-wrenching challenge in this movie, despite the male-bias at Harvard Medical School that confronted Colleen and despite the discord with old Doctor Cook, Andrew's father (by the way, that contradicts the final TV episode, where Andrew said his parents were dead, and that's why they couldn't come to Colorado for his wedding with Colleen). Brian wore make-up to look older, which looked absurd. Sully wore an obvious and ugly wig of long hair.

chiluvr1228 First, let me say I absolutely loved the series Dr. Quinn - Medicine Woman. My husband and 2 young sons would never miss an episode on Saturday night. So when I saw this on GMC the other night I decided to watch.So imagine my disappointment at this movie that seemed to be made in about 2 weeks time. Dr. Mike, Sully, Brian and Katie visit Michaela's family in Boston. I'm not sure what the time frame of this movie was supposed to be, but since 2 doctors from Europe traveled to Boston to perform surgery on Michaela's mother, you would assume it was months? However, the same pile of snow that was there in the first scene in Boston was still there at the end of the show.It was supposed to be around late Feb. or March when they arrived because they discussed the centennial in July which "was 4 months away".Now back in 1876, I don't know of any ship that could get from Paris to Boston in under a week but the season remained winter despite their long, long visit.The storyline was contrived, Sully had a ridiculous wig on and Brian's make-up was oh so obvious. Some of the scenes were just thrown in for some reason like the orphanage scene, the scene where Sully, in his mountain man clothes goes into some men's club and throws his hatchet. WARNING: SPOILER AHEADMichaela's mother was supposed to be healthy enough for a new pioneering heart surgery but died the same day the Paris doctors arrived to perform this new surgery. Michaela is the one who discovered her dead despite her being a rich patient who supposedly was getting good care.I don't know why this movie was made. Perhaps to appease the people who loved the series and couldn't understand why CBS canceled it. They did a grave disservice to fans.Don't bother, just watch the reruns, you'll be happy you did.

ashenyoni I dare say that this film, based upon the television series, truly touched my life. As a woman, in the 1800s, Dr Quinn went to medical school, moved to the frontier, took in three children, started her own practice, and married one hot, hot man, SUlly. SHe is truly an inspiration to all women who want to enter the professional world, for she conquers all odds and stays true to herself. She doesn't let any men push her around, and she stands up for what she believes in. In this film, her true character comes through, and I am seriously glad I watched it. The plot, the casting, the cinematography, and the acting are off the hook! Michaela Quinn is my idol.

watchinghawk2004 Jane Seymour brought out a lot of the truths about our Native American relatives by her portrayal of Dr. Quinn. The producers also added a lot by using a lot of the natural Native American language in a lot of the scenes showing the Indians and a lot of conversations between Indian brothers and sisters. Dr. Quinn's willingness to teach what she knew to backwards taught people, like the local people of old Colorado Springs back in the 1880's. Jake Butcher, the local so called doctor before Dr. Quinn showed up, was a real inspiration of what he saw as a youth growing up and being the towns physician at that time.Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, was a wholesome inspiring show that gave us a program that could be viewed and enjoyed by many. It saddens me that our television of today is so corrupt with foul language and nudity and explosive violence. Good shows that are needed are now a thing of the past. Maybe a writer/producer will some day bring back another television show that helps others by teaching things of the past.
