This film has a very similar feel to the first movie. It moves at a similar pace and the story is just as mediocre. Its not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, in fact, when in a certain mood I can happily watch this movie and enjoy it. However, just like the first film, it is nothing special but just about keeps you interested enough to watch the next installment. I like fantasy and escapism movies and although this is not as good as the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy or as funny as 'stardust' ... it is still better than others such as the terrible Eragorn. If you like the first film, even just a little, you should like this aswell. Slightly above average movie. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Much Ado About Nothing [1993] starring: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves, Kate Beckinsale, Richard Briers directed by: Kenneth Branagh May 21, 1999		Used Price: Â£3.29
Flicking through my recommendations on Amazon today I came across this. Well I bought it when it first came out on DVD so thought I would add my voice to those other reviews about the quality. I won't say to much about the film. For me it was very, very enjoyable. Well acted (a pleasure to see so many British stars mixed with those from across the pond), well directed (the scene where Beatrice and Benedict are 'captured' by the trap is superb), with good music and wonderful scenery. Such a shame then that the DVD is so sloppily put together. In Mono only! No scene selection. No 'making of'. No directors' comments. Surely the time has come for a new edition? I have most of Kenneth Branagh's work and enjoyed immensely ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Henry V [1989] starring: Kenneth Branagh, Derek Jacobi, Simon Shepherd, James Larkin, Brian Blessed directed by: Kenneth Branagh June 17, 2002		List Price: Â£9.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.98 You Save: £4.01 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Shakespeare's Henry V is lavish, poetic and dramatic. The plot is simple: Young Henry V lays claim to the French throne and invades France to claim it. The rag tag English army make their way through France conquering city after city. On their way to Calais, they are met by superior, better equipped and better trained French army at Agincourt. The English, aware of their inferior numbers and training, begin to despair. Henry V, the leader that he is, inspires his men in the famous words: If we are marked to die We are enough to do our country loss And if [we are] to live the few men the greater share of honour God's will I pray thee wish not one man more He who outlives this day will stand a-tiptoe ...

Average Rating:	Walking With Dinosaurs : Complete BBC Series [1999] starring: Kenneth Branagh, AndrÃ© Dussollier, Avery Brooks, Resa Karim directed by: Jasper James, Tim Haines May 15, 2000		Used Price: Â£10.14
Yes ok the science in this series is dubious. Yes ok the narrative is a bit over the top. But my (nearly) 3 year old son is utterly spellbound. If you have a dinosaur obsessed child to buy for, this dvd is the way to go. You might have to watch it first - the music can be a bit scary for the under 5's of a nervous disposition. Dubious science versus cartoons? I'm for dubious science all the way. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Rabbit Proof Fence [2002] starring: Everlyn Sampi, Tianna Sansbury, Kenneth Branagh, Laura Monaghan, David Gulpilil directed by: Phillip Noyce September 15, 2003		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £11.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.61
THIS IS SURELY ONE OF THE SADDEST, MOST MOVING FILMS EVER MADE. THE STORY OF 3 HALF ABORIGINAL GIRLS LITERALLY TORN FROM THEIR MOTHER'S ARMS BY WHITE AUSTRALIANS TRYING TO 'IMPROVE' THEIR LIVES. THE GIRLS SHOW HUGE COURAGE WITH A DIGNIFIED QUIET DURING THEIR 1200 MILE WALK BACK TO THEIR HOMELANDS. THE LACK OF SENSATIONALIST HOLLYWOOD STYLE ACTION SEQUENCES AND MINIMAL DIALOGUE ADD REAL POIGNIANCY TO THE STORY. THE SCENERY IS INCREDIBLE, ANYONE WHO HAS TRAVELLED THROUGH THE RED CENTRE OF AUSTRALIA WILL KNOW JUST HOW HARSH & UNFORGIVING IT IS. IT IS A TRUE MIRACLE THAT THEY SURVIVED. THE FACT IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO ONE OF THEM WITH HER OWN CHILDREN IS EVEN MORE OF A TERRIBLE INDICTMENT OF THE MISGUIDED,CRUEL, POLICIES OF THTE WHITE COLONNIAL ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Mary Shelley's Frankenstein [1994] starring: Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Aidan Quinn directed by: Kenneth Branagh March 08, 2004		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £2.01 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.48
This is an awful adaptation. It bastardizes the essence of Shelley's novel. While the novel nurtures a moral dilemma at its heart, this destroys it. (This cannot be demonstrated better than when the monster rips out Elizabeth's heart, serving as an apt metaphor for the film ripping out the heart of the text). The sympathy for the monster which Shelley really draws on is completely undercut in the film by the monster's portrayal as a cold blooded murderer wanting an unjustified amount of revenge...it ignores the reasons behind his sadness, ignoring the carefully crafted manipulation which Shelley plays with the reader's own preconceived ideas. Among the monstrosities are the changing of the monster's final speech when Victor had died, which should have been a real climax and silent ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Peter's Friends [1992] starring: Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, Alphonsia Emmanuel directed by: Kenneth Branagh November 19, 2001		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £8.01 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.40
I have seen this film once and it was one time too many. Sure it is well acted and there are some fine performances, but it is utterly depressing and without hope. The characters seem embroiled in a sense of impending doom and whilst I do not ask for happy clappy Disney traits in all films, this one lack anything of note. It is not funny in any way shape or form and should be avoided at all costs. If you like Stephen Fry, buy the Blackadder series or a Bit of Fry and Laurie. >>More Details

The five Children and it This enthralling children's classic has been converted into blockbuster screens. An emotional adventure tells the tale of five children who when evacuated due to world war one find a secret tunnel in the forbidden greenhouse in their cousins manor. As the story progresses the children discover the sand fairy or `it' buried in the magical beach through the tunnel. 'It' helps the children discover that what they want isn't necessarily what's best for them in the long run. The fairy grants them one wish each day and due to their father being away at war their wishes are often far-flung and drastic, events quickly spin out of hand.... This movie is carried along by the young child star Freddie Highmore who also played Charlie in Charlie and the chocolate ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Big Dinosaur Box (4 Disc BBC Box Set) starring: Kenneth Branagh directed by: Kate Bartlett March 08, 2004		List Price: Â£29.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£19.98 You Save: £10.01 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£18.95
The walking with dinosaurs series is fantastic the cg is good but the animitroics are a bit off and the narration is fantastic. The ballad of big All is also very interesting and has the same high standards as walking with dinosaurs. The ones featuring Nigel Marven are still very good cg wise but Nigel's acting is mediocre, sometimes his rections to the dinosaurs are not believable. But a good boxset all together worth every penny. >>More Details

I was delighted to find 'Fortunes of War' on disc after years of wondering if I ever would. Now I have it and it is even better than I remembered it being. The setting is Romania 1939 onwards, when Hitler is just beginning to wreak havoc in other parts of Europe. Guy and Harriet Pringle are newly married and she accompanies her husband back to Bucharest where he lectures at the university under the auspices of the British Council.The British are well thought of by the Romanians initially because Britain has promised to protect Romania in the event of a war. As it becomes increasingly obvious that Britain can hardly look after itself as the Nazi onslaught begins to crush one country after another, the Romanian leadership decides it had better curry favour with the Axis powers. Besides, there is already ... Read More: >>More Details
