Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

tbills2 Windrider is quite good. Well, quite good... Did I say quite good? Okay, let's start over. Windrider is a real good movie. The main Australian male, Tom Burlinson his name, is really quite good, and the montages of windsurfing stunts and wave riding on the beautiful Australian sunny ocean coast are really good too, and quite breathtaking...like Nicole. Nicole Kidman is so classically beautiful in Windrider. She is the Windrider! Nicole is one of the most beautiful womans I've ever seen, ever! She is a streaming breathe of fresh air. She's a sweet Australian breeze. She's a lovely blow of the whirling wind. She's a mighty gust of dropdead gorgeousness. She's a strong hail of uncontrollable passion. She's a sweet scent of desire. She's a cool air current of love. She's a hot ripping rush of sex appeal. She's as light as a feather. She's as soft and gentle as a morning breeze. She's really hot, standing in the wind. Nicole was only just 18 then. I love her young curly hair, fiery red like a hot flame, wild and free, like the wind. Nicole's hair is rocking! Nicole's body is banging. Seriously! Warning!! Spoiler Alert! There is a great shot of Nicole's scrumptious behind in the movie. Did I say scrumptious behind? Okay, let's start over. There is a breathtaking shot of Nicole's bare butt in Windrider. There is even a quick shot of Nicole's side nips in the shower, like Nicole blowing you a sweet kiss in the wind. Uhm, kiss, K-I-S-S, keep it sweet & simple, that's my motto! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dogs and cats, it is my ecstatic pleasure to introduce to you, Nicole Kidman! Oh my God! Nicole looks unfathomably epically beautiful as she appears watching the man windsurf from far away on the beachy rock side in the beginning. Wait, did I say unfathomably epically beautiful? Did I say beachy rock side? What I meant to say was Nicole looks like a beautiful red-haired goddess as she appears from far away watching the man windsurf on the Australian beach there. Seeing this handsome daredevil pull of his little 360 windsurf trick is amazing, and plenty good enough for a movie premise! I really appreciate hearing Kidman's true Aussie accent throughout the showing. That's nice. The fact that the filmmakers didn't use Nicole's actual singing voice in the moments when she is singing in the Windrider is an epic fail/God damned tragedy/real shame. This 'Young Tate' song won't leave me be, it keeps following me and I think it's stalking me. I'm on to your tricks Young Tate, whoever you are, and I don't trust you and never will! Stay back, Young Tate! I have a toaster and a skillet, and I'm not afraid to use it. Young, Young Tate!

Wizard-8 "Windrider" is a movie that's quite hard to find nowadays. It's never been released on DVD, and it didn't sell that many VHS copies when it was released on that format years ago. This is despite the fact that one of its stars is a pre-famous Nicole Kidman. There's extra interest for some fans of Kidman since in this movie she takes off her clothes a couple of times. But does the rest of the movie have anything good to offer? Well, it's nicely photographed, and the windsurfing sequences are energetic. There is also a nice musical score. But the movie is ultimately forgettable. It's never really BAD, but you will have seen the characters and the various plot turns in many other movies before, resulting in the movie having no surprises at all. Best watched as a background movie when you are busy with some activity at home.

David198 This is a surprisingly good film, bearing in mind it was probably made on a miniscule budget. What's unforgettable about it is a 19-year old Nicole Kidman as a sassy rock singer in a red leather jacket and slit skirt (as well as in the nude for about 5 scenes - all too brief). There's more than a hint of the famous actor she was about to become, with some feisty dialogue and a totally believable intensity in her relationship with her screen boyfriend. It's a pity that the credits reveal her 'singing' was dubbed by someone else, as Moulin Rouge showed she was quite capable of doing it herself. Oh, and if you like windsurfing, or huge waves crashing on Australian beaches, you'll also like the film for those reasons, and it's even got quite a good storyline with tension rising towards the end. The scriptwriter's attempts at humour - and the briefly-glimpsed plastic shark - are a bit embarrassing though!

SanDiego Now that Nicole Kidman is a full fledged international star her early films have become accessible to her fans. I love her early work; her brash and spunky Aussie attitude gives this tall perfect beauty an edge. Here she plays a music video queen who is courted by a business executive who's passion is windsurfing. The script has elements of "Flashdance," "Cocktail," and other films that could have only been made in the eighties. Though the action scenes are clumsy (and boring) and the comedy sometimes juvenile, as a romantic date movie it delivers. The relationship between Kidman and Burlinson (who look like Barbie and Ken) is cute and their romance innocent (Burlinson shows up to a late night music session courting Kidman with tuxedo and flowers). Both are perfectly cast and believable in their roles. Kidman gives a wonderful performance and looks as gorgeous as Australia itself. Brief nudity and mild language. If you like windsurfing, Nicole Kidman, and a wholesome romance you've found the right film.
