The Return To Snowy River or The Man From Snowy River II is the continuation of the first movie. This movie is even better than the first one. At the beginning of the movie Jim Craig brings his love, Jess Harrison, up into the mountains to the house that he has built for them. Although Jess’s father still hates Jim and is not happy about her being with him, Jess is right where she wants to be with Jim. During the movie, a horse that has been connected to Jim ends up killing a young man and many people are upset with Jim. Jess gets frustrated because she thinks that the death is on her, and that her decision to be with Jim has caused too many problems. Jess ends up leaving the high country, and goes back to be with her father at their ranch. Jim is obviously not happy, and almost gives up on their relationship, but changes his mind when he gets encouragement from a lady named Darcy in a bar. Jim tracks Jess down, tells her how he feels about her, and in the end of the movie brings her back to the high country to live happily ever after. I really enjoyed watching this movie because the scenery is very beautiful, and the acting is also surprisingly good. Tom Burlinson does a great job playing Jim Craig, and the story ends on a good note, which always makes a person feel better. This was a pretty good movie.
