    This sequel of The Man from Snowy River is so impressive that possesses every essential characteristic of the first film; sensationally beautiful cinematography, a stunning focus of the Australian high country, the second most impressive footage of horses ever filmed. Dire... read morector Geoff Burrowes has done a superb job with this film so are two actors, Tom Burlinson and Sigrid Thornton, who returned to their characters. I really liked the horse scenes that makes you go exciting like a roller coaster ride.

    Nowhere near as good as the first movie.

    Not as good as the first (replacing Douglas with Dennehy was stupid move) but it does continue the love story.

    Not as good as the original and has a bad scene with one of my favorite horses but it's still a good movie

    Once again, a decent sequile(sp?) that tells a different story using the same charaters (not all the same actors though which sucks!) A good movie!

    This movie is a great follow-up to the "Man From Snowy River", but focuses more on the rocky romance and the relationships between the people. It still has some incredible horsemanship, and some horse sequences that will nearly have all horse-lovers in tears of happiness.

    Great sequel. Just as good as the first one. I love the chemistry between Tom's charater and Sigrid's charater. Just beautiful!
