Movie Reviews of Russia - Land of the Tsars
Movie Review: good documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
interesting and keeps your attention. i know it was made to be for tv so it had to be kept short but it would have been great if the history channel wouldve gone into greater detail (apending more time) on the lives of the czar/rinas that are mentioned. Some of the czar/rinas talked about include: Issac the terribble, Peter the Great, Catherine the great, Alexander II (i think although it couldve been the III but I am almost sure it was the II), and Nicholas II. overall: good, interesting, reviewing value is good.Movie Review: One Important Flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
The video is fantastic but it does have one reprehensible flaw - NO SUBTITLES OR CLOSED CAPTIONS. It is absolutely unacceptable that video documentaries, especially historical ones, are not provided with subtitles or at least closed captions. This should be a compulsory feature for every video! Not only for the hearing impaired but also as valuable tool for teaching the English language to foreigners!
Shame on The History Channel and A&E !
Movie Review: A riveting documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not a fan of Russian culture or history, but when I saw this program on the History Channel, my fingers never picked up the remote control. I never channel-surfed once. There was more drama, intrigue, action, and violence in this documentary about REAL PEOPLE than in any soap opera drama. It reminded me that nothing imagined on TV or in the movies can compare with real people and events in history.Movie Review: Very educational
Summary: 4 Stars
Having spent 12 days in St. Petersburg. The information given in this series is very good. The video footage places such as Peterhoff or of one of Caterines Palaces was nice, but they could have done more. Peterhoff is a very large place. But in a historical context the information is good and accurate as far as I can tell.Movie Review: Good background for our trip to Russia
Summary: 4 Stars
This 2 set DVD provided good background on the Tsars history. The reviews between broadcast segments were smooth enough to not be distracting, but I was aware. Good visuals, so a good way to get history.
