This has to be one of the all-time sappiest movies ever made! If the royalties help out Christopher Reeve, great — otherwise…it’s a waste of time! Does romance mean total fantasy? These folks need to get a life! A real one!

OK, my mom was like, “Hey, Jon, can we watch this?” So I was like,”Sure mom, just for you I will, even though I hate chick flicks.” So we watched and it figures my mom falls asleep, so i got stuck watching it. I’ll be honest it wasn’t bad, until the end. It just ruins the whole movie and I couldn’t believe how it turned out. I wanted to smash my TV it sucked that bad. Don’t watch it, it’s wasting your life. I’m not kidding. I know all you girls are like,”Oh he is ,like, a boy ,like, I can’t believe ,like, he doesn’t ,like, understand!” But I do and trust me ,don’t watch it. But if you do watch it, you will agree with me(except for you select few that thought it was good). Let this one pass.

I say this because I think it could have been great but the plot holes are just too large and is it necessary to have Reeves in every frame of the movie? We get very little perspective on Janes character.
The plot holes are quite large and I won’t even stir up the “well when was the first time he went back for her to have remembered him?”, paradox.
Ok, why is it after he’s tied-up and realises she has left does he fall apart? Doesn’t he realise he can just go find her in the next city? I mean he HAS gone through time for ‘crise sakes! Hopping a train MAY be easier! Why is it that Janes manager simply has Reeves “tied-up” to be begin with? Doesn’t he realise that when Reeves is untied he will simply come looking for Jane? And the whole “You are going to marry me aren’t you?”, line by Jane at the end of the movie is just nausiatingly unrealistic. Life just doesn’t work this way… I’m sorry but not even in the movies.
These and many other silly things that just don’t add up can be found. And they hit us over the head with “Arthur” and his red ball too. Ok, we get it! Thats the old man from the future! Arthur this and Arthur that, Arthur, Arthur, Arthur!
I don’t have the new 20th Ann. addition, and all I can say is I hope the transfer is better than the early one on dvd, the picture is quite grainy… so much so that it will make you wonder whether your dvd player is on the fritz!
After all is said and done, I like the “idea” generated here. I do like Jane and her managers performance… I like the soundtrack… I like the sets… but honestly the chemistry was flat, and thats the most important part of it all.
Ok, Arthur?

OH MY GOODNESS!
I have always thought I would enjoy this movie and when I found it I was happy to finally see the film everyone had been raving about for so long. They were raving alright, stark raving mad!
I can hardly find the words to describe this movie, but I will try. Lackluster, boring, sappy, poorly acted, poorly written, stupid, juvenile, lame, stale and other such adjectives.
I am a fan of Jane Seymour but was disappointed to see her character falling in love with the boyish and sappy man played by Christopher Reeves. Whatever happened to the man of Steel? I can’t imagine her EVER falling for his boring and babyish persona.
I was glad when he died. I found his costume ugly and unbelievable and he acting the worst yet. Why on earth go for someone like that when you have Christopher Plummer around? Please! His was the best acting in the film. I still can’t believe I sat thought the whole thing. I suppose I kept hoping that it would improve. Sadly I was wrong and it continued to serve up the sap.
I’d rather watch 101 Dalmatians.
