DVD Reviews of The Thief Lord
DVD Review: my favorite movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie a few weeks ago and when i watched it i fell in love with it! I got the book when i was about 11 and when i read it i thought that i was actually in the book. Ive read it three times and i am reading it right now for a forth time! Once i found out there was a movie i knew that i had to get it. This movie is excellent because it is a fantasy, mystery, and adventure movie! The charactors fit the profile that the book describes making it very easy to follow. I would reccomend this movie to anyone who is look ing for something good to watch!DVD Review: Buy from video store -- private owners not reliable
Summary: 1 Stars
This did not play in our DVD at all. It had damage. It was purchased from private source; threw away paperwork or would have returned it. First used DVD that did not work. DVD Review: Attractive Actors/Poor Plot Line
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this DVD based on the good reviews written here. And I have to admit the actors looked good and the movie had a nice look. But I and my family were disappointed by the shallow, disjointed storytelling involved. A good movie should also be true in how it presents a story so that consequences follow on actions. But here, everything works out fine in spite of characters doing them the wrong way. If nothing else, Scipio should have aged 20-30 years at least for riding the Merry-Go-Round rather than just a few years and all his problems being solved. My advice is to buy Disney's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" or "Oliver". Either is a much better movie for children and families.DVD Review: It was okay
Summary: 3 Stars
Think Oliver Twist. It was good for a one time watch but we bought it and my kids would rather watch Harry Potter or really any of their other movies that are more compelling. Like I said this was good but you don't catch anything new, or laugh at a favorite joke with subsequent viewings.DVD Review: Fantasy more for young adults than young children ..
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book! Everyone should read it...You can really not imagine what will happen next or why. Children running away from a bad situation in Germany take themselves to a place their mother loved in her lifetime, Venice. They find other children who are surviving on their own, but not in the best of situations. Of course, there's a villian...and that strange carousel....but I'm getting ahead of the story.
It's a great read.

Description of The Thief Lord
Mystical, magical and completely enchanting, this epic tale in the tradition of the Harry Potter series brings the beloved characters of prize-winning novelist Cornelia Funke to dazzling life. After their mother dies, two boys flee their mean aunt and head for Venice, Italy, where they meet Scipio, the mysterious "Thief Lord." Along with a small band of abandoned kids who call an old movie theater home, the boys join Scipio's world of robbing the rich to support themselves. Soon, they win the heart of the detective hired to track them, and begin an adventure that leads them to an old merry-go-round believed to have special powers. Featuring Vanessa Redgrave and a captivating supporting cast, The Thief Lord will steal your heart from beginning to end.The Thief Lord is a blend of Dickensian adventure and Harry Potter magic, an exciting adaptation of a popular novel by Cornelia Funke. A pair of orphaned and separated brothers, Prosper (Aaron Johnson) and Bo (Jasper Harris), escape their dreary homes in England and flee to Venice, Italy. On their first, frightening night there, they find sanctuary with the Thief Lord (Rollo Weeks), a masked, 16-year-old boy who gives them, along with a gaggle of other orphans, shelter in a shuttered movie theater. Living on the spoils of the Thief Lord's nightly raids of the rich, the kids become a happy, self-sufficient family that only has to stay out of the clutches of police and a nosy private detective (Jim Carter). But things change when a strange, elderly pair ask the kids to steal a strange object--a hunk of wood carved into the shape of a wing--for a lot of cash. What follows is completely unexpected, wildly imaginative, mysterious, and a lot of fun. The story has a way of sticking with one long after the film is over. With a cameo by Vanessa Redgrave, and loads of gorgeous exteriors of sunny Venice. Directed by Richard Claus, producer of The Little Vampire. --Tom Keogh
