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.

Every time I see this movie I like it even more than the last time.This is an exceptionally long movie at about 10 hours, but it was a mini series to begin with. Unfortunately I missed it in it's run, never even heard of it.I was snooping around the videos in a local store and came across this little gem. It's a great story supported by some excellent acting. The production values are just about the best I've even seen for any made-for-TV material. The entire idea of the movie, regarding what had happened to all the fairy tale people after a couple of hundred years, is captivating itself. However, the cast they put together fit the rolls perfectly.The trolls are particularly funny and well done. The huntsman actually gave me the chills.People who like fantasy and fairy tales will absolutely love this movie.If you go to all the last reviews here you will find the opinions of people who are not fantasy fans. You know, the ones with no imagination and who couldn't suspend their disbelief even if they were paid to do so. These people will never see a good fantasy for what it is, and will never get any enjoyment out of them. This leaves me to wonder, if they don't like these types of stories, why do they keep watching them? If you enjoy the genera then by all means pick this up if you see it. Just be ready for either a LLLOOONNNGGG bout of watching a LLLOOONNNGGG movie, or try and cut it up into manageable pieces. The toughest thing will be trying to stop it somewhere. Good luck with that decision.

Virginia and Tony are two normal people living in Manhatten,New York when Prince Wendell is turned into the dog by the evil Queen who wants to rule the 4th kingdom.Wolf is released by the queen to go after Wendell along with 3 trolls.Wendell,Wolf and the 3 trolls go through the magic mirror into New York.When one thing leads to another they enter a world they have never imagined.I love the 10th kingdom.Its a great story and amazing characters.Its a really long story but its eventful every step of the way until the end.They even left it open for a sequel.Except their never was a sequel boo.Anyway overall.Unforgettable.

I adore this series. It's an original adaptation of the classic Grimm fairy tales, put in a modern, more dark perspective, and giving it a certain realistic depth by placing two no-nonsense New York citizens in a world full of magic. The series is not flawless, as sometimes the humor seems a bit cheesy, but the overall presentation is as enchanting as the events that occur. I just loved the role by John Larroquette, who plays an ex-successful businessman turned janitor, and has the same humor through subtle self-mockery as the likes of Bill Murray and Kevin Spacey. Scott Cohen shines as an over-the-top half-wolf, whose inner battle between two personalities is displayed in a comical yet convincing way. The cast also includes some famous faces such as Rutger Hauer and Robert Hardy, and is all in all convincing, mostly with characters that are easy to relate to. A lot of the series power is in the multitude of on-location filmed sites through which the journey takes the main characters. One episode contains some simply idyllic footage, with the gorgeous Austrian mountains backed by a beautiful score of classical music. The series must be watched with an open mind however, expect no revolutionary filming techniques or award-winning performances, but be prepared for an extremely enjoying, consistent series that deserves a second watch, and is as magical as its subject matter.
