Ladyhawke is worth a look if you like and sword and shield type movies. Its even worth owning if you find it in the discount bin. However, it's by no means a great film. You have to wonder what this movie could have been had it been made in a different era... perhaps pre-Excalibur (1981). As it is the movie suffers from several problems - the least of which is one of the worse mis-matched soundtracks ever... even die-hard fans agree that the synth heavy "disco-fantasy" music is just silly.

The best part about Ladyhawke is it's unpretentiousness. It is a very straightforward fantasy movie that in no way insults the viewer's intelligence - unlike many other films of this genre.
