Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
madcelt-2 This was an excellent TV series. Fox should be shot for killing such an original series! That said, if there is anyone out there who has all the series on video, please comment here. I'll be checking back once a week. Thanks. Too bad Fox won't sell the series. They'd make many off of it me thinks, eh? For those of you who didn't get a chance to see this excellent Celtic masterpiece, it was about a Celtic chieftain, who, whilst trying to unite the Irish Celts, to fight off the invading Romans, (a hard enough job in itself), must also keep the Celtic way of life from dying. In this series, Christian from Roam are invading, trying to wipe out paganism, thus murdering the great Celtic civilization in the last Celtic stronghold - Ireland! (too bad they succeeded!) Mad Celt. I want a copy of the entire series. Any information on obtaining it would be grateful. Thanks.Mad Celt.
cazheartlight Completely agree with other comment here about this great series, Roar. When it first showed I was absolutely blown away by the then fairly unknown Heath Ledger, aside from being easy on the eye he was a fabulous young actor and every week I wanted more Roar. This show had it all, brilliant acting, wonderful cinematography and directing, great cast, exciting story lines, passion, intrigue, fighting and magic - what more could they possibly want? At a time when Zena and Hercules were getting huge ratings Roar should definitely have been a winner. When it suddenly disappeared from the screen "disappointed" did not cover it - years later I spotted it's name slotted at midnight in the TV guide for two weeks running - so I taped it - only to get late night shopping instead! It never showed that I could see. Obviously Heath Ledger is too big a name now if the series continued but there are plenty of other great young actors who might attempt to fill his shoes as "Conor" - or simply rerunning the series would be big ratings now he is who he is. Maybe I just miss his Irish accent?
aynnepm I saw this show when it first came on and I applauded the original line they were taking. I loved the depiction of the struggle against the encroachment of the Roman troupes.By the end, with the serious dumbing down they committed I only lamented the end of the original promise. I'd love to find a DVD copy of what little there was. FOX blew this one seriously with the tacky shift in focus and the lack of support. I've never completely understood why they couldn't expand on the relationship between Kat and Connor. There was a deep feeling of respect between them and during that time in history, pagan and Christian, if they came to an understanding between them intermarried easily enough. Especially in the early days of Christian introduction to the Celtic tribes. Molly was a distraction, an interesting character but a distraction from the relationship of Kat and Connor. Disappointing in the lack of development of either relationship.I'd like to thank SciFi for giving me a chance to see it once in a while again.
staci_marie_1998 The only way I was able to see this series. (Well, 8 episodes, anyway, I'm still looking for someone who's selling a tape with all 13 on it) As was, I sat in my room all day and watched the series all the way through.. *WOW*. I haven't loved a show this much since Quantum Leap. And of course, both aren't being made anymore. :-P The plot line was original and highly entertaining, I loved the dialogue, and the people who acted in this show brought the characters to life superbly. I *really* wish more episodes had been made.
