Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

I stumbled upon this film by accident. Was looking for a video to rent and wanted to see something long since it was a rainy Sunday. Approx 7hrs it said on the box. That would be able to fill my rainy Sunday:)i Never heard of the series before, was clueless bout the story, but i do know that i was captivated after 30 minutes into the film. Watching the story unfold was a sheer pleasure with new characters coming into the story line, cool landscapes and more and more unexpected stuff.To be honest, sometimes the special effects could have been better, but it never distracted me of the storyline. Then again, i wouldn't know any movie in its genre to compare it to. Bit one of a kind if you ask me.Havin a 7 hour movie, the risk of getting bored is big. Never happened though. It remains captivating, the full 7 hours of it. I watched it loads of times already and i will be watching it countless times to come. It's still one of my most favorite films.To sum it all up: If you don't like this movie, you have probably lost the child within you, and that, is just a shame.

I started to watch The 10th Kingdom on DVD at a friends suggestion. I suffered through the first disc in agony. This movie is chock full of way-over-the-top "acting" from maddeningly obnoxious, screeching trolls to a hyperactive hyper-loud wolf. The one actor who did not play her role in this over-the-top fashion was Dianne Weist as The Evil Queen. Instead she phoned in her dull, lifeless performance and was utterly boring. I cannot stress enough what a piece of crap this mini-series is and, unless you like unpleasant frantic fairy tales that go on for hours and hours, I would avoid this made for television mess of a movie at all costs.

I first saw this when it originally aired on television. At the time I was in seventh grade. I will turn twenty tomorrow. Wow, so long ago. I believe this mini series is just fantastic. All of your childhood fairy tales are in it and told in a modern way. Wolf is just amazing and Kimberly Williams Paisley(now a mother!) is just drop dead gorgeous. Their performances and witty slapstick comedy/romance will get you going all throughout the nine kingdoms. I recommend that everyone see this at least once. Strangely enough, this movie is in my top ten. I found it on DVD used at FYE. Keep searching and you can find it. I also found the paperback used online.
