This is a TV Movie that originally aired on Lifetime. It is a true story. I found it to be a very interesting story... and a powerful drama. The storyline easily kept my interest through-out the entire film. I felt the ending was a real bummer. But when it comes to true stories you can't always have a happy ending. This film stars Faith Ford... who I am familiar with from the series Hope & Faith (where she actually played Hope instead of Faith). Another familiar face was Nigel Bennett who played LaCroix on Forever Knight. I feel comfortable recommending this one to anyone that likes a good drama/true story. But keep in mind it is a TV movie and I know some don't care for those.

Waste of time in my opinion. Horrible acting, boring story. The only thing worth mentioning are the special effects. I haven't read the comics the movie is based on, so I cannot draw comparisons.

Xena: Warrior Princess Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. The Path Not Taken
Xena faces ghosts from the past when she revisits one of her old haunts and ingratiates herself with murderous former "colleagues" in order to locate a kidnapped princess who is being hidden here.

My Thoughts:
A really good episode that I enjoyed a lot. In this one Xena has to act like her old self some in an attempt to save a princess and stop a war before it starts. I liked how she tried to show an old friend that he too could be good.

My Rating:

6. The Reckoning
When villagers declare war on an innocent Xena for killing their neighbors, she's forced to consider an offer made her by Ares, the god of war, that would give her the power to rule the world.

My Thoughts:
This is the first episode of Xena that we see Ares in. It is another good episode... though not quite as good as the previous one.

My Rating:

7. The Titans
The stage is set for a clash of the Titans when Gabrielle inadvertently releases three of the giants from a centuries-long entombment and one proceeds to terrorize a village - against the wishes of the other two.

My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed very much. I got a kick watching them deal with these gigantic Titans. And in this episode Gabrielle finds herself attracted to a young man she meets in the village.

My Rating:

8. Prometheus
Upon realizing that Prometheus has been captured and chained by the gods - thus causing great harm to mankind - Xena sets out to find the sword that will free him, and is joined in her quest by Hercules.

My Thoughts:
Another excellent episode! I really enjoyed seeing all four (Xena, Gabrielle, Hercules & Iolous) in one episode like this. Though it did seem a little weird to see a romantic attraction between Gabrielle and Iolous. But the episode had a great story.

My Rating:
