This has to be one of the all-time sappiest movies ever made! If the royalties help out Christopher Reeve, great — otherwise…it’s a waste of time! Does romance mean total fantasy? These folks need to get a life! A real one!

I say this because I think it could have been great but the plot holes are just too large and is it necessary to have Reeves in every frame of the movie? We get very little perspective on Janes character.

The plot holes are quite large and I won’t even stir up the “well when was the first time he went back for her to have remembered him?”, paradox.

Ok, why is it after he’s tied-up and realises she has left does he fall apart? Doesn’t he realise he can just go find her in the next city? I mean he HAS gone through time for ‘crise sakes! Hopping a train MAY be easier! Why is it that Janes manager simply has Reeves “tied-up” to be begin with? Doesn’t he realise that when Reeves is untied he will simply come looking for Jane? And the whole “You are going to marry me aren’t you?”, line by Jane at the end of the movie is just nausiatingly unrealistic. Life just doesn’t work this way… I’m sorry but not even in the movies.

These and many other silly things that just don’t add up can be found. And they hit us over the head with “Arthur” and his red ball too. Ok, we get it! Thats the old man from the future! Arthur this and Arthur that, Arthur, Arthur, Arthur!

I don’t have the new 20th Ann. addition, and all I can say is I hope the transfer is better than the early one on dvd, the picture is quite grainy… so much so that it will make you wonder whether your dvd player is on the fritz!

After all is said and done, I like the “idea” generated here. I do like Jane and her managers performance… I like the soundtrack… I like the sets… but honestly the chemistry was flat, and thats the most important part of it all.

Ok, Arthur?

This film needs to be remade using 2004 technoligy.And could stand using more parts of the book in it
