Excellent!,
By Unique Critique - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man from Snowy River (DVD)
Both "Man from Snowy River" and "Return to Snowy River" are quality adventure films. Made for adults, they will nevertheless be loved by kids. There is not a dull moment in either picture and the action is breathtaking. The scenery alone is worth the watch (filmed on location in the mountains of Australia.) Whether or not you are fond of horses, the storylines will captivate you. I've been around horses all my life and never have seen daring riding like this! No stunt men here - just amazing horsemen from Down Under. If you don't get chills up and down your spine while watching some of the scenes, you gotta be dead. There is mystery, romance, suspense and some humor thrown in for good measure. Great actors, too! Both endings hold unexpected surprises. Be sure to watch "Man from Snowy River" first, then "Return." Make some popcorn and enjoy!

Old-fashioned Romance and Adventure,
By Bobby Underwood "starlighthotel" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man from Snowy River (DVD)
This film is just as wonderful today as it was at the time of its release. A terrific story of an old romantic rivalry, a legendary wild horse, and a young man from the high country is played out against the rugged but gorgeous Australian landscape. It is cinematically beautiful, dark silhouettes of horses and two people falling in love captured in front of the orange and blue hues of the majestic plains.Tom Burlinson is great as the young man trying to earn his right to live in the high country after a legendary horse named Stallion causes his father's death in a stampede. Kirk Douglass has a dual role here as Tom's friend, a crusty but lovable miner who has been working the same claim for years, and his brother, a rich cattle rancher he goes to work for. Sigrid Thornton is beautiful as the daughter of the rancher, her dead mother being the key to the long years of hatred between he and his brother. Burlinson and Thornton begin an innocent but very real romance cemented when he saves her life in a storm. Her father, of course, is against it, but Tom's chance to prove himself comes when an expensive colt who may have ties to Stallion gets loose and starts running with the wild Brombies. This is a beautiful and romantic saga that has an ending full of hope, which is really only a beginning. It is grand adventure and sterling entertainment that everyone in the family can enjoy. The romance between Burlinson and Thornton is old-fashioned and charming. The action sequences, especially the chase of a wild herd through the high mountains and snow, are beautifully filmed. There are fine performances in this adventure and it will hold a special place in your heart once you see it. An excellent film for the entire family. |
