This is an entertaining romp through the Kipling adventure, with a captivating and attractive cast. Produced in 1984 for CBS TV, this is far superior to typical TV-movie fare; I've seen a few Masterpiece Theatre creations that didn't measure up to this. The screenwriter and director did quite a nice job of keeping Kipling's sprawling tale pretty well focused, which had to be an immense challenge.

The best thing to be said for this film is that the locations are truly magnificent.
I am, however, appalled at the liberties taken with Kipling's classic. The scriptwriters have introduced an insipid love story that is not in the book and is totally tangential to the film. In addition, in an apparent effort to make Kipling politically correct, they have taken anachronistic snipes at the British Empire (I am reminded of Monty Python's "Well, what did the Romans ever do for us???"). As is ... Read More

Peter O'Toole looked intoxicated throughout the movie, the wardrobe for the cast was very poor, and there were scenes with prostitutes that should not be there. Truly a disappointment and a testimonial on how modern society can destroy a classic novel.

I think this is the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. I am a huge Kim fan, and this movie is just awful. It captures none of the magic of the novel. They even made up leaden dialogue instead of using Kipling's pitch-perfect language. And why, oh why, did they choose to have everyone speaking English all the time? If you love Kim, don't watch this leaden lump of a movie. Peter O'Toole as a Tibetan monk, with a laughable rubber bald head, is absolutely dreadful, and the worst miscasting in a film ... Read More

As a great fan of Rudyard Kipling's great novel Kim (I have at least 5 copies, including a first edition) I watched this second movie version with interest, first on the original VHS tape and again recently on the DVD transfer. The first movie, made in the 30s with Dean Stockwell as Kim, focused almost entirely on Errol Flynn as Mahboob Ali, completely destroying Kipling's story. But this 1990s version, with the excellent - if slightly too old - Ravi Sheth as Kim, follows the story much more closely, though ... Read More
