Una novela muy bonita ,pero el final esta inconcluso y no me gusto para nada.Movie Review: The poor man's "Teresa"
Summary: 3 Stars
I hardly ever watch television, much less novelas. The only reason why I acquired this DVD was because a friend made a comment to me that made me want this. This is a REMAKE of the 1990 Televisa soap "Teresa", starring the then unknown Mexican beauty SALMA HAYEK. I have not seen this novela in years and was always a fan of it (and still am of Salma Hayek).
This is almost the same novela It's amazing how Televisa finds it necessary to re-hash their stories. But when is "Teresa" itself going to be released on DVD??? Do they not release their old soaps so they can rehash them to new audiences? People know the difference, believe me. People knew that "Luz Clarita" was a remake of "Chispita", that "Salome" was a remake of "Colorina" and recently that the novela starring Thalia's niece is a remake of "Rosa Salvaje". Why bother, Televisa? The main difference between "Rubi" and "Teresa" is that Teresa was much more calculative and relied on her tactics to get what she wanted...whilst Rubi relied on her looks and sex to get her way. The endings are different too.
But that being said, "Rubi" itself is a decent novela, but Barbara Mori is missing that fire and spark that Salma Hayek brought to the original. Sure she's gorgeous, no denying that. But her role wasn't believable as the calculating and money hungry social climber as she was supposed to be. This role was perfect for Salma and it's a shame this remake couldn't get a similiarly talented star. A pretty face isn't everything
I'm just waiting for them to release "Teresa" and all the classic Lucía Méndez soaps.

The novela Rubi in itself is excellent. The theme was fascinating and the actors and actresses were fabulous. With that said having the opportunity to purchase it and watch it while stationed overseas with no spanish channels is thrilling. I am no expert in film but thought it was well put together and easy to follow even if some scenes of the TV version were missing. Definitely a must watch for anyone interested in spanish soaps.Movie Review: Pretty dissapointed

This is one of my all time favorite novelas. I'd been looking for it for a while with no luck. When I finally found it here, I was so excited I ordered it right away... I made a mistake, they cut off so much! It seems like they're just a bunch of small clips put together. So dissapointed, I would've definately paid the extra money to get the WHOLE story!Movie Review: damage

THe second cd at the end it was blurry and could not see the end of it. I probably will return the tape for another one. I did not know that the cd's were tape on both sides, it was a bit confusing.
