Movie Reviews of Clarkson - Heaven & Hell
Movie Review: Decent
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this DVD as I am a huge fan of Top Gear and needed more to get me through between episodes. The DVD is basically about a dozen or so car features like Top Gear already shows. There are some cars which Jeremy claims are great and goes through the sideways tire smoking sequences he is known for. And then there are a few cars which he destroys as they are rubbish.
The other reviews say that this is not as good as Top Gear, and I will have to agree. The reason is that it is all car review segments which are just as good as ones in the show, but it really gets to be too much. All the other segments of Top Gear along with the interaction of three hosts together really make the show.
Basically if you are a huge fan of Top Gear, especially Clarkson's car review segments, its worth picking up, but it's not a must have. If you think the show is all right, it probably wouldn't be worth it.
Summary of Clarkson - Heaven & Hell
If the mere mention of Porsches, Ferraris, and Maseratis is enough to get your heart racing, you'll want to take Heaven and Hell out for a spin. Jeremy Clarkson, host of the International Emmy award-winning British series Top Gear, puts you in the driver's seat of the sports cars of your dreams (and other ill-fated vehicles of your worst nightmares). You only have to be a fan of vintage James Bond films to get a rush from the tire-smoking test drive of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Clarkson is authoritative and funny, and his enthusiasm is contagious. But woe to "the unimaginative junk built with no soul, flair or passion." "Seven deadly sinners" are dispatched to "hell" in creative ways. Clarkson purchases a Perodua, drives it across the street from the dealer, and then pummels it with a sledgehammer. He stages a jousting match between the "hateful" TR7 and a Ford Scorpio, A Citron gets the Monty Python treatment when a dumpster is dropped atop it. The test drives around the track can get repetitive, but considering that this is the closest many of us will ever get to a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti or a Porsche 911, just strap yourself in, sit back, and enjoy the ride. --Donald LiebensonBritish personality Jeremy Clarkson, host of Top Gear, brings you Heaven and Hell, a critical review of the best and worst cars in the automotive world. Clarkson trawls the whole of "car-dom" to bring you seven great cars and truffles the undergrowth looking for seven automotive disasters. The good ones - the Ferraris, the Porsches and the Aston Martins - are driven to within an inch of their lives on the track. The bad ones are killed. Sawn in half. Hung, drawn and quartered. They're hammered and blown to pieces with dynamite and their skeletons left in the open to rot. There's even some time for a game of car jousting.
