Movie Reviews of The History Channel Presents The Revolution

Movie Review: A wonderful supplement for Colonial history/literature classes
Summary: 5 Stars

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."

Thomas Paine's words are as essential today as they were more than two hundred years ago and this series is well worth your time if you have any interest in the American Revolution. Ken Burns' legacy as the father of modern documentary is felt throughout the 13 hours that comprise this splendid series by the History Channel; the combination of historical commentary, dramatic recreation, and maps detailing troop movements gives the viewer a supreb overview of the period driven by the revolutionary spirit of Rousseau, Locke, and Jefferson.

If there is any shortcoming to this series it is the fact that 13 hours is simply too little. I guess I'm never satisfied, but there's more to any story than meets the camera's eye...
