Movie Reviews of Rubi
Movie Review: Great DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Every young woman yearns for a life full of prosperity, some of us sweat blood and tears to achieve those expectations we call happiness. While other's bend beyond the boundaries of evil to reach a life full of wealth and luxury.
Rubi is exactly that, a tale of a young woman born into poverty but destines to live a life full of wealth and luxury and will go to any length to achieve her goal.
From the beginning I was hoping that someday Rubi would realize that having all the money in the world would not be the key to her happiness. But watching every single step of her immorality is what had me hooked.
Rubi was full of shocking and unthinkable moments. Abandoning her true love and stealing her best friend's fiancé were two pivotal situations that had me on the edge of my seat.
At the end, once it was too late, Rubi realizes that wealth and luxury is not the key to happiness.
I found Rubi to be very rewarding because it depict the notion that good always prevails over evil.
Movie Review: Hot, trashy Mexican soap opera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was rivited to the screen when I watched Rubi as a telenovela, but missed numerous episodes. When the last one was to be shown, my cable service went out and I called customer service and explained that it was the last episode of Rubi, and the rep totally understood and had it fixed by 8 p.m. My friends also whispered that they were hooked. So I jumped at the opportunity to order this DVD set. Unfortunatley, it came in a sealed package missing the first disk! So I didn't see the early episodes and am still at a loss as to how the plot was set up. Nevertheless, Rubi is the Mexican telenovela at its finest. It has all the elements: hot, evil, manipulative beauties (Rubi); sweet, suffering, pious pretty virgins (Maribel); guys easily led by the you-know-whats by hot women (Alejandro); and handsome but sleazy business "socios." You can't keep your eyes off Barbara Mora. She is amazing in this.Movie Review: Rubi, la descarada
Summary: 5 Stars
This is arguably one of the best telenovelas of 2004. The story follows Rubi, a poor, beautiful yet ambitious young woman who stops at nothing to get love and, most importantly, money. By schemes and lies, Rubi finally marries a wealthy man, Hector. Yet she cannot forget the one she truly loves, Alejandro. Rubi finally sees that material things are not as important as true love, goodness and kindness. Yet she denies her wrongdoing and, in the end, her evil ways drive her to disaster and misery.
If you like telenovelas (Spanish soap operas) then you will love this one. The story line is refreshing and bittersweet.
EDIT: One important piece of information pertaining to this DVD. It does cut the story line considerably, since the makers TELEVISA do this to all their telenovelas on DVD. Yet the story is still coherent.
Movie Review: Buy It!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I saw the first episode of Rubi, I was totally hooked. Rubi is a very captivating telenovela from beginning to end. It has all the qualities that make a telenovela great such as greed, passion, deceit, and romance to name a few. This is an awesome DVD to own. I highly recommend it to any Rubi fan. I would also recommend it to any fan of telenovelas. The DVD has English subtitles so you can still enjoy even if you don't speak fluent Spanish. There are a bunch of extras too! You definitely get your money's worth. There are certain parts that have been edited out, but they didn't take out any of the important parts. Another major plus is the price; I was able to purchase it for less than $20.Movie Review: Addictive and Dangerous
Summary: 5 Stars
Rubi has looks men admire and women envy. Her ambitions are high, but dangerous. She will use her beauty and cunning desire to get whatever she wants. There is of course Alejandro who is the love of her life, but even he is pushed aside as she aims for her dreams of grandeur. Will she ever come to her sense or keep pushing until she falls over?
Barbara Mori excels as Rubi and really brings her to life. She makes you hate her and want her at once. The supporting cast too is excellent, but Rubi is the star just like she would like it. One of the better telenovelas recently made, you will be hooked by the first episode.
Great stuff!
