AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

lisafenix let's go point by point. There are 4 points total. A. Dar and Tao (and the actors portraying them) work together very well. There were a few episodes in the first season that made Tao look like an idiot but other than those I'd say they were equals in almost every respect throughout the series. They complimented each other well and Dar wasn't always the teacher. I especially like where they save each-others lives.B there is a sense of cohesion to 75% of the episodes. The rest seem aimless and even contrary to the episodes in the main flow. I'm thinking of Guardian, circle of life and the role of the two Magic people; It didn't seem like the writers knew where to take them.C. Nords rule! Nords, priests and even Iara included, season 2 enemies are great. Well Iara is more of an antagonist (pun intended) than an adversary. Season 2 episodes with Terrons weren't that great; thankfully there were not very many of those.D.I love animals and this series shows us how wrong some of our preconceived notions about the stupidity and brutality of animals really is. When the focus is on the animals, that is when the show really shines.Again, there are poor and contrary episodes in the show, but for the most part this is a forgotten treasure. Look it up in local listings here it's on at 4 am Saturday morning but still it's usually worth it. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

tysonhollen I saw the movie when i was in high school and i was impressed but I think this show was more like Hercules or Xena than the Beastmaster.First Dar was the long lost son of a king not a lone survivor of a tribe.They make Dar to be more of a wanderer than a warrior in this show.Next I think Marc Singer should have reprised the role.Now I know he's getting too old but he was much better than this Australian guy they chose to replace or succeed him with.Singer did do a good job with his role in the last few episodes and that's the only part I like about this show .Next one of the ferret's died with Rip Torn in the first movie.Sure this Daniel Goddard has some talent and is a promising actor but this role is not for him.Next hat happened to Kiri from the first movie.I wish she would make a guest appearance played by Tanya Roberts of course.Also whatever happened to Tal,I wish we could have seen him make at least a cameo appearance.Finally the symbol on palm of Dar's hand isn't the same symbol as in the movie plus it's on the opposite hand in the TV series.I do however think it was better than most reality show that are on nowadays and give it credit for following the novel a little more than the film though.Word of advice watch this show if you're bored.

haganthomas-1 As some might think this Beastmaster version not dark as or enough considering the original movie it comes from I must disagree feeling it has very good and thought provoking points in relation to the movie and that the movie could not explore.Daniel Goddard is perfectly cast as a new model Beastmaster a little more officially muscled while Marc Singer muscled enough the original and movie Beastmaster was also just plain imposing in such a way you might feel he could defend the toughest tiger or lion. Daniel Goddard makes up for this in the muscle of his build in relation to the animals he cares for and tries to save from harm avoiding conflict if possible.Beastmaster, the series, is worthy to be called so in relation to the movie and Marc Singer if for no other reason than the complimentary to each other comparison and the exploration of love, care, and issues of animals and man in the resistance of evil for the cause of good. The series is also well filmed and looks great too, a style all its' own. I for one am sorry it could not get a couple of more seasons into the can much is missing those seasons might have included.

pvburnett My son, Simon Burnett, is the stunt double for Daniel, so we have been watching every episode. It comes across as at least two shows in one. The out of doors, walking in the woods and fighting. And the other, the mystical- fairy one, with special effects and clothing. It would work better if the mystical world was only at night, a dream scape for the characters and story line.
