This is one outstanding series-turned-movie!Probably the best thing about "The Tenth Kingdom" is its characters, and just second to that, the story. The characters are endearing from the beginning, and you fall in love with them as the story progresses. Of course, the characters excel mostly due to their fantastic actors, who deliver completely genuine performances. There are lots of laughs, but there is a seriousness that makes everything seem that much more real. The story itself is woven together exceptionally- I have a hard time finding something to compare it to, the story is just that well put together. There is not a single moment in the movie that I just don't like... I love the whole thing, all 417 minutes. And speaking of 417 minutes, that equals just shy of 7 hours. I have seen people say that it has a running time of 4 hours, and also 10 hours. It is neither- it runs basically 7 hours long, and it is worth every minute. I would highly recommend it for all and any ages. The Tenth Kingdom is a fantastic film, that will always be special to my family and I!

I love this movie, it goes above and beyond on attention to detail. Every stitch and scene is planned to the letter. The casting was spot on too, you can relate to pretty much every character in the movie. I love how it takes traditional fairy tales most of us grew up with and takes a whole new spin on them. I can watch ti over and over. The only drawback was it could have had a sequel, since the ending was semi open, and it never did. But even without it, it's a great story. Everyone delivers. Some things might be too scary for younger children, but the movie overall is no worse than the Grimm Fairy tales I used to read as a kid. It's a delight. You'll be hooked.

This mini series is actually how I want fantasy and fairy tale movies to be done. It is very long but when you have a good story and really cool characters that doesn't bother me. I rather watch this long and great adventure than watching a TV show that never ends and where each episode is a short story on its own. The main characters Virginia and her dad end up in this fairy tale world which was so fantastic that I actually wished I was there too. Despite that it is long it never gets boring. It is like a really good book, with well worked out characters which emotions are depicted perfectly. It does has fairy tale characters everyone knows such as Snow White and Cinderella, fairy tale creatures such as dwarfs, trolls and references to typical objects and scenes from famous fairy tales such as poison apple, mirror on the wall, guess my name riddle, incredible hair growth etc. The use of all these elements don't feel forced and blend together well making for a fantastic movie. Although it might not be perfect I can see no fault in it and give it the maximum score. It has fantasy, magic, humor, drama, romance. The only negative thing is that some parts might not be suitable for young children as there is mild violence in it a few times.

This movie is one of the best epic fantasy film I've ever watched!! 'Stardust' started the epic fantasy hype for me and this movie spurred the momentum even more when I watched it the second time recently. The storyline is absolutely beautiful! Just like 'Prison Break', there are lots of twists and turns in the story and that keeps you at the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. The 'hatred' and 'love' relationship between the characters is also complex and enjoyable to see. I don't understand why NBC won't pick up for a second season... I've first watched this in New Zealand actually 8 years ago but I still remember the views were really high during the airing week... The opening sequence of the movie must have been the most beautiful piece I have ever seen!! Great special effects and the idea is very original. The theme song is very touching and they couldn't have pick a better theme song. I definitely recommend you watch this if you can, you won't waste your time. If you enjoyed 'Stardust', then you'll definitely enjoy this one..!!! ^^
