This is a great miniseries, we highly recommend it. I had never heard of it but my wife remembered it from her childhood and we watched it together. The acting is very good and there are stars galore providing fine performances.Movie Review: Would have been good!

Loved this mini-series, but 2 or 3 DVD's did not play. I did get a refund for this,
but was disappointed I did not get to finish seeing this series.
Movie Review: captains & kings
Summary: 3 Stars
I saw this mini-series years ago & have been looking for it ever since. The video came in perfect condition - like new! No problem; it ran w/no issues. But some of these videos, including this one, dissappoints as far as special features. It had one scant interview w/a former cast member, which was good, but I felt they should have had much more.Movie Review: DISAPPOINTED!!! NOT LIKE THE BOOK AT ALL!!!!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
The only good part about this was the actors. It has a very complimentary cast, but I do not like how some of the main characters are portrayed, mainly Joseph Armagh. In the book he is a cold, conceited, cynical, and cruel man. In the movie he smiles all the time, is jovial, and is far to happy for his depiction. The story line doesn't even follow the book hardly AT ALL which is very disappointing. I loved the book for the story, and this movie is a whole different story than what I read. Many characters are also added in that were not in the book, and the reasoning is beyond me. I was not happy as a huge fan of the book, and I don't know if I'll ever finish this after just completing the first of three disks. HORRIBLE! If you liked the book, you'll hate this movie.Movie Review: You are better off watching paint dry!
Summary: 1 Stars
God it is awful. The rags to riches story of a immigrant is an intereting angle but it is overshadowed by hours of cheap melodrama about things that might be considered a scandal in the 19th century but just make you yawn now. There is a lot of yearning by a young man for a married woman and then later illicit love affairs between in-laws and people of mixed race from the south. A pregnant woman even falls down the stairs in slow motion after being pushed by her drunken husband. I knew she was going to lose the baby the moment she started walking up the stairs towards the man. The main charactrer spends a lot of time covering up illegitemate children to protect his irish sons political career. Gee could their be a parallel to a real life family in the USA, think hard. Save your money, vacum your carpet and then admire the straight lines on the floor.
