Movie Reviews of Michael Palin - Himalaya
Movie Review: Dissapointed
Summary: 3 Stars
There was so much Michale Palin could have shown and narrated about in this series. I liked his sahara series and was expecting this to be as or perhaps more enjoyable. I found this series on The Himalayas dissapointing. Its not one of those dvds I keep watching over and over again. His choice of places was what I was most dissapointed in. What was the point in spending so much time in the plains? Visiting dentists, talking to Imran Khan etc? He could have spent more time in other interesting places in the vast Himalayan landscape.
What I did like in this series is the time spent in Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal. These episodes I thought showcased the true culture of the Himalayan people.
Movie Review: Quality as Usual.
Summary: 3 Stars
The latest Palin exploits are still enjoyable, however they feel a bit more forced and laess of an event than the early ones. The joy of Around the World in 80 days and Pole to Pole was seeing lots of different environments and getting a real feel for adventure. This one feels a little too much like Michael wandering around in the mountains. Still better than 90% of what's on tv though.
