BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
RickyTheFish I have to admit, I did enjoy this show, despite what I am about to say about it. I think this show is two different things: first, a travesty; second, a decent show. I know these opinions conflict, so some explanation is due. This show is based off the books in the Sword of Truth series, authored by Terry Goodkind, and even had the author consulting with the writers on the show. However, this being said, the show has very little to do with the books, and fans of the books will notice the huge, unnecessary changes. For example, in the books, Richard's father George had the Book of Counted Shadows, and forced Richard (in his childhood) to perfectly memorize the contents of the book before it was eventually burned. In the series, Kahlan simply gives the book to an adult Richard that has never before heard of it. Also, Richard's mother in the book was Zedd's daughter, a woman who was raped and impregnated by Darken Rahl, crossed the Boundary and married George Cypher. In the series, Richard's mother was some unnamed young girl that died in the slaughter in Brennidon, and Zedd carried her child alone across the Boundary; George married a woman that was not Richard's biological mother. In the books, Darken Rahl raped Zedd's daughter, thus Richard was his son, but in the show, Darken Rahl is Richard's brother. Wizard Giller was a kind and noble wizard in the books, even sacrificing his own life to protect the Box of Orden (and its carrier, Rachel) from being found; but in the series, Giller is Darken Rahl's personal wizard, and thus contributes directly to Rahl's evil actions. So much was changed between the two forms of media that they are practically unrecognizable as being the same material.That being said, the show does have its own merits. A decent fantasy title with all the normal mainstays: magic, epic battles, betrayal, deceit, love, honour, loyalty. To someone unfamiliar with the books, the show can stand by itself as an enjoyable experience, but for someone that read the books before watching the series, it might be a bit of a challenge to overcome all the ridiculous changes. I was initially very excited to see a live-action adaptation of a book series I love, but I had to separate the two in my mind and think about them as two separate entities, otherwise I likely would have hated the show.
Kirpianuscus long time I was looking for the source of seduction of this series. because it is different and special and original against the many familiar ingredients. maybe, its status of message for a world so well known. because it is a fairy tale and support for mythological references and redefine of magic, duty and love. but, little more than the art of Craig Horner, Bruce Spence and Craig Parker, its precious virtue is to be wise tool for rediscover the hero. the hero out of contemporary recipes, Marvel universe, near models. the old fashion hero who was so significant for generations and generations. this is, for me, the small detail who gives to "Legend of the Seeker" a real special status .
darklordvyperx As a fan of the book series for almost 20 years, I despised everything about this series. I couldn't even make it through the first episode. The acting is horrible, and characters that don't even exist in the series are in the television show. They couldn't even get the first 5 minutes of the show right. I have lost all respect for Sam Raimi and have refused to ever watch anything he has done since this. I could go on and on for ages about the discrepancies of the show and the books, but it would be a waste of time. I sometimes wonder if the people who put this show together even read the books. This show is a travesty to all Terry Goodkind readers across the globe. This show is what happens when people who have no passion for the business create a disgusting pile of crap out of something beautiful. I am glad the show got canceled, and to all you "Save our Seeker" advocates, you're all morons.
tanaelittle03 I really love this TV Series. It's Drama, Adventure, and Action. Etc. I am only 11 years old, and I love these series. They are absolutely remarkable! I watched all of the seasons. I don't know why you all couldn't make a third season, but whatever reason, this is the best movie series I have ever watched. I really think every body who watched these series really love the way the love between Richard and Kahlan, because I do. Whenever I seen the case of the second and final season I thought Richard would fall in love with Cara, and Kahlan would get jealous. But it surprised me. I like Kahlan, by her personality, and Cara by her Mord's ways and just the way that character is! One day I hope I can be an actress. It must be hard to be Austrailian and play a part with a American ax-cent. I really love this, as I said before. If it isn't to late I wish you all could make a third season. If you all go by ratings, you have a lot of fans, don't let them down! Surprise us!
