5.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Classic!, October 29, 2006

This review is from: Pilgrim's Progress (DVD)

If you've never read John Bunyan's timeless classic "Pilgrim's Progress"... you should. And THEN view this well done translation of it to film. I say this because like all movies based on a book, it cannot possibly convey it fully.

It's also a collector's item having the now famous Liam Neeson playing the starring role of "Pilgrim" in it. And here, as in his role in "Krull"; he shows all the usual rough edges of an actor yet new to the business, yet convincing enough to be a "diamond in the rough".

Fast action movie fans will find it a bit dull and tedious for their tastes. Yet considering the venerability of the subject matter, should not readily dismiss it either.

For Parents: This is definitely a "Must Own", being both morally instructive, and cinematically entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with Truth, April 23, 2007

I first saw this film version of the famous allegory when it first came out in the late '70s and had wanted to see it again. I was surprised upon buying the DVD last year to learn that Liam Neeson, now famous, was one of the stars. Though nothing replaces the reading of the book, this was a well-made film representation for the techniques available at the time. The scene of what happens to Pilgrim's burden as he approaches the Cross is worth the price of the DVD.

I was disapointed that this DVD did not follow the book as closely as it could have. The end was different from the book.
