Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

deana_lisi I found the DVD of the entire miniseries in a store last month, and I totally don't remember watching this or even seeing commercials for it when it was new, which is weird, considering that I love these kinds of shows. I'll say one thing right now: Scott Cohen blew away every other actor in the whole thing, lol. He plays a humanoid wolf, and to say that he threw himself into the role is an understatement. He'll crack you up, especially when he gasps, (which he did at least 50 times lol). He's the best part of the show. I won't say much more considering that there are so many reviews describing the show, but there is something you need to be warned about: this was filmed before 9/11, and in the fascinating opening credits, they show the NYC skyline...and the Twin Towers are in it. The sight of them sent a chill down my spine, (I watched 9/11 live all day and will never forget it) and it showed all the buildings 'falling' and being replaced by fairy tale-type structures...and near the end of the credits, after a giant steps over the bridge, the Twin Towers 'fall' too. I didn't notice that part until watching the last installment today, and the sight made me cry. If you watch this miniseries, be prepared for that very unexpected sight.

sarahmrusso I would still love and appreciate this film if they took away the fairy-tale inclusion. The sub-plots (of which there are many) are entirely realistic, and at times very profound; they all seem to center around psychological issues, such as abandonment disorder, identity crisis, and the need for redemption. The fairytale aspect is fun at times (and hokey at times), but the unique development of each character (in surprising detail, if you really pay attention) is the best part of the film. Scott Cohen, John Larroquette, and Daniel Lapaine made a terrific team and their interactions are priceless; I'm less enthusiastic about Kimberly Williams-Paisley, although she had some very good moments.

mergatroid-1 Every time I see this movie I like it even more than the last time.This is an exceptionally long movie at about 10 hours, but it was a mini series to begin with. Unfortunately I missed it in it's run, never even heard of it.I was snooping around the videos in a local store and came across this little gem. It's a great story supported by some excellent acting. The production values are just about the best I've even seen for any made-for-TV material. The entire idea of the movie, regarding what had happened to all the fairy tale people after a couple of hundred years, is captivating itself. However, the cast they put together fit the rolls perfectly.The trolls are particularly funny and well done. The huntsman actually gave me the chills.People who like fantasy and fairy tales will absolutely love this movie.If you go to all the last reviews here you will find the opinions of people who are not fantasy fans. You know, the ones with no imagination and who couldn't suspend their disbelief even if they were paid to do so. These people will never see a good fantasy for what it is, and will never get any enjoyment out of them. This leaves me to wonder, if they don't like these types of stories, why do they keep watching them? If you enjoy the genera then by all means pick this up if you see it. Just be ready for either a LLLOOONNNGGG bout of watching a LLLOOONNNGGG movie, or try and cut it up into manageable pieces. The toughest thing will be trying to stop it somewhere. Good luck with that decision.

XenonOmega This movie is one of the best epic fantasy film I've ever watched!! 'Stardust' started the epic fantasy hype for me and this movie spurred the momentum even more when I watched it the second time recently. The storyline is absolutely beautiful! Just like 'Prison Break', there are lots of twists and turns in the story and that keeps you at the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. The 'hatred' and 'love' relationship between the characters is also complex and enjoyable to see. I don't understand why NBC won't pick up for a second season... I've first watched this in New Zealand actually 8 years ago but I still remember the views were really high during the airing week... The opening sequence of the movie must have been the most beautiful piece I have ever seen!! Great special effects and the idea is very original. The theme song is very touching and they couldn't have pick a better theme song. I definitely recommend you watch this if you can, you won't waste your time. If you enjoyed 'Stardust', then you'll definitely enjoy this one..!!! ^^
