A VALIANT KNIGHT IS AIDED IN HIS QUEST BY A WISE CRAKCING THIEF IN HIS QUEST TO BREAK THE SPELL BY DESTROYING ITS CREATOR. Amazon.com essential video: This lushly produced fantasy has gained a loyal following since its release in 1985, and it gave a welcomed boost to the careers of Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. You have to ignore the overly aggressive music score (critic Pauline Kael aptly dubbed it "disco-medieval") and director Richard Donner's reckless allowance of anachronistic dialogue and uninspired storytelling, but there's a certain charm to the movie's combination of romance and heroism. Broderick plays a young thief who comes to the aid of tragic lovers Isabeau (Pfeiffer), who is cursed to become a hawk every day at sunrise and Navarre (Hauer) who turns into a wolf at sunset. The curse was cast by an evil sorcerer-bishop (John Wood), and as Broderick eludes the bishop's henchmen, Navarre struggles to conquer the villain, lift the curse, and be reunited with his love in human form. The tragedy of this lovers' dilemma keeps the movie going, and Broderick is well cast as a young, medieval variation of Woody Allen. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Wonderful Movie I, personally, love this movie. I've seen this "classic" at least a dozen times and have enjoyed it time and time again. It's a beautiful love story filled with intrigue and suspense. I highly recommend it. Rating: - Very Average While the idea behind this movie has great potential its actual execution was rather blase. The soundtrack takes away from the story instead of enhancing it, the acting is not that great, and the script is kind of silly. Its entertaining in its own way but definitely not something I'd watch more than once. Rating: - Broderick gets a YEAH! The rest, merely a BLAH! "Ladyhawke" is one of those water cooler conversation movies. It is always brought up as the film everyone has heard of, but rarely has been seen - and those that have seen it, worship the ground it steps on. Recently, "Ladyhawke" came across my player, and the opportunity to view this romantic fantasy was presented. Being an enormous fan of both "The Princess Bride", "Willow", and any of the reincarnations of "Robin Hood", I was eager to add another title to the cannon. I wanted to be that guy ...

Rating: - great movie I love this movie. This is one of the best love stories ever made on film. Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer have good chemistry at the end. I also enjoyed the performances of Leo McKern and Matthew Broderick. see more
