    Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
    CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
    Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
    Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
    John Doe Xena is a great series, that you must see. Lucy Lawless and Renee o' Connor have great acting chemistry together and do very well on screen. The series never takes itself too seriously and has it's funny moments as well as it's dramatic moments. Xena is a spin off of Hercules the Legendary Journeys but you can start this anytime without having to watch the other series. This is just plain awesome. Go Xena now!I give Xena: Warrior Princess a 8/10
    SnoopyStyle It's ancient Greece in the times of the Olympian Gods, centaurs, and Amazons. Xena (Lucy Lawless) is a warrior trying to atone for a life of fighting. Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) is a small town girl desperate for adventures. She joins Xena recording their journeys in her scrolls. Xena loves to fish and fly a kite. They travel as far as China and India. They often get involved with Gods Ares and Aphrodite, the comical Joxer the Mighty, revenge-obsessed Callisto, Julius Caesar, and the monotheism of Eli.My favorite episodes are humorous especially with Joxer. This is solid adventure B-TV. There is plenty of fighting stunts. The use of historical and religious figures is a mix bag. Sometimes it's awkward rewriting biblical and other religious stories. The shows in faraway places can also get awkward. Staying with Greece and the Olympian Gods should be enough for this show. The best part is the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle. The show even plays with the homoerotic perceptions of the audience. The landscape of New Zealand is perfect for ancient Greece and it's a commendable production considering its limitations.
    HawkHerald Xena was essentially a spin off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, it was a low budget syndicated fantasy-action adventure that recalled the old fun of movies Jason and the Argonauts or Sinbad the Sailor. It was set in Ancient Greece in the time of Hercules, Xena was a former warlord who was looking for redemption and uses her martial skills to help the downtrodden and weak. She had a sidekick, Gabrielle, who starts off as a naive storytelling village girl and later becomes a formidable fighter in her own right. Xena's introduced an impractical piece of battle wear that many a young man remembers-the armored minidress. Gabrielle, who started off wearing a long skirt and blouse, ends up with a halter top and miniskirt of her own. There risqué costumes and silly story lines made the show a lot of harmless fun, but somewhere along the way the show started to get weird and dark. It stopped taking story ideas from Greek mythology and starting hashing together plots from Judeo-Christian beliefs, Eastern mythology, and skipping back and forth through history. I quit watching after the show starting taking itself so seriously and became more like a bad costume drama.
    frickinfrak The best thing about XWP is that it is honest. Fans of the show know it to be, yes, campy and cheesy, with some over-dramatic sound effects and bad acting here and there. And the show doesn't hide from that. It owns it. And once you get past that, you begin to see more depth than you expected. Getting through season 1 can be a little rough. Its a low budget with mostly green actors, and you can see that in season 1. The trick is to get through that, and you begin to see these actors seriously come into their characters, and an amazing relationship begins to grow. If you are willing to keep an open mind and go on an adventure of love, action, and friendship, then this show is for you.Lucy & Renee made this show what is was. They are so different but the chemistry is amazing. The journey they made as actors through this series was tremendous. I have said for many years that television has been missing a strong female actress like Lucy Lawless. It is nice to see her as the manipulative & beautiful Lucretia in the Spartacus series.
