Movie Reviews of Rubi

Movie Review: Review on the spanish soap opera - Rubi
Summary: 5 Stars

The DVD was great ... just like watching on TV except no commercials and no repeats of what you'd just seen the day before.

Movie Review: Barbara Mori, say no more.
Summary: 5 Stars

My husband watched just for Barbara Mori, the "hottest women on the small screen". I myself am hooked on Spanish Novellas.

Movie Review: rubi 2
Summary: 5 Stars

i'm wondering if they ever going to do part 2 where her neice is twice as free spirited and dangerous lol

Movie Review: English Subtitles
Summary: 4 Stars

This Review is for Rubi

Length: abt 12 hours
English Subtitles: YES
Spanish Subtitles: NO!

IMPORTANT
Disk 3, Side 1 is where this version of Rubi ends
Disk 3, Side 2 is the final chapter of Rubi from 1968
Be sure to look at side two of the last disk as I almost missed it.

EDITING
The editing was pretty good - only once or twice was the editing noticeable. The cuts were not abrupt as other telenovelas plus the video quality is really good. Because of all the editing, situations seem to happen out of no where. Also, a lot of character development was missing.

Cinematography
Really good. I do not remember any "B" scenes.

AUDIO QUALITY
Audio was good.

MOVIE
Rubi is a young ambitious seductive woman who creates destruction for anyone in her path. She takes the cake on creating conflict. I really liked the story but I feel like a man would like it more than a woman. I would definitely recommend this telenovela but, in my opinion, it is not better than Te Sigo Amando.

Recommendations of good telenovelas with English subtitles:
Te Sigo Amando
Mariana De La Noche
Dulce Desafio (excellent Spanish diction)
El Derecho de Nacer (more for women)


P.S. Please note that "Import" DVDs, with the same Spanish title,
distributed by the "Coleccion Amores De Leyenda" do NOT have English subtitles.

Movie Review: The edition is good, but the music is so boring.
Summary: 4 Stars

The soap opera Rubi started so good, it was so quickly that in every episode you can see something exciting, unfortunately, with the huge succes of the soap opera Televisa ordered more episodes and there's when we had the problem, When we start to see the beginning of the end: the illness of Hector (then alejandro operates him but because of Rubi he let him die accidentaly). Instead of that, magically Hector gets healed, he gets a lover (Yadhira Carrillo), Rubi meet the Count (Manuel Landeta) and Alejandro have a lot of trouble in the hospital because of some fraudulent things. That part of the story is not as cool as the first episodes, they cut A LOT of secondary characters that actually their story wasn't interesting. That's why i think is a very good edition.... EXCEPT: For the music, the main theme (La descarada) was so goood, this new one is pathetic, and the score was also incredible, but especially the song from the dramatic moments. (In the special episode you can hear it in some of the dramatic moments, for example Sonia's death, when Rubi runs to the beach with her wedding dress, when Maribel watch Rubi at the airport with Hector, etc, etc. Instead of that good song they use a very boring theme, it doesn't transmitt the same emotion and tension.
Hope we can see a new version of the dvd but with the real music and with more scenes and extras.
By the way the extras are very cool, the finale of the original series in black and white, the special of rubi's niece, the press conference of Rubi, the only missed the original trailers (THEY'RE SO COOL, check them out on youtube)
