 | Ladyhawke is one of the greatest films ever made, in my opinion. It is not campy nor predictable, as many historical pieces have been. The storyline is imaginative, the players phenomenal (especially Matthew Broderick in his finest role and one of the truly great roles of film in general; he should have won an Oscar, imo), the cinematography rich and stunning, and the directing right on target. My only nit is the music. Though I have enjoyed Alan Parsons's work in the past, his style doesn't mesh with the mystical mood of this film, particuarly the opening piece. The music becomes less noticeable the further you get into the movie, probably because the story is so compelling. If medieval mysticism draws you, this is a must-see. |

| Ladyhawk is my all time favorite movie (along with my favorite music). Ever since I saw it as a little girl I have been intrigued by this film. It has all the elements of a great film. There is love, tragedy, action, and comic relief. In my opinion the music in this film is esquisite. To say it doesn't fit suggest that those people have a weak imagination. This music is what drew me to the film. It has a heroic yet tradgic love all in one. If you can't hear that you must be deaf. There are several clips that I love because of the music itsef. The score at the beginning, the first fight with Nauva, when he is looking at sunset, when Isabeau first apears, when Isabeau is hurt, when the hawk flies over the water, when they almost touch, and the end when they do touch. So there you have it. Those are just a few parts that give me butterflies in my stomach because of the MUSIC! So like I said before if those of you can't see that poo on you. |

| This is a fantasy so it takes great libertys with thing but overall it is an enjoyble movie. The Mouse played by Matthew Bordrick escapes from a dungeon and meets up with two people. who are lovers but a cursed by an evil Bishop. Who lusted for Ladyhawke. Her and her Lover are cursed she to be a hawke in the day and human at night her lover a wolf at night and a human by day. So they spend though they are always together they are never together as humanbeing at the same time. The double whammy of the curse. There is action suspence and love in the movie. It is overall and enjoyable movie. I have only seen the VHS mode of this show. |

| I rented this at Blockbusters and have watched it 4 times. Another love story in medieval times. The photography, in my opinion, is stunning. Especially watch for the hawk flying across the lake. An evil bishop casts a spell on Isabeau and Navarre because he cannot have Isabeau. What a sore loser!! She turns into a hawk at daylight and he turns into a wolf at sunset.
What a kick to see a very young Matthew Broderick and a gorgeous Michelle Phieffer. Rutger Hauer is so good also, but turn down that awful music!! What were they thinking?
An outcast monk befriends (reluctantly)the lovers and it is one tight scene after another. The ending is on the edge of your seat adventure. But dont worry, love finds a way!!!!! |

| Terrific love story set in medieval europe. Bonus for young Rutger and even younger Broderick. I've watched it a dozen times and still come back for more! |
