This was a gift for my husband who really likes these kinds of movies, so I'm sure it'll be great. He can't wait to find time to watch them. |

dissapointed |
The first 2 discs (4 episodes) were exactly what i was expecting. True to life re-enactments. Very good.
The problem with this History channel series is when it get to the 3rd and 4th disc. There are no more re-enactments. Instead its mostly narration by Danny Glover. The last two discs, half of this series is very boring and not as clean and crisp as the first two discs.
Pass by this |

Outstanding Documentaries, So-So Presentation |
An outstanding collection of the best episodes of History Channel's "Civil War Combat" and "Civil War Journal," the latter hosted and narrated by actor Danny Glover.
My only real qualms (and the reason I give this set 4 stars out of 5) is because A&E/History Channel basically recycled these previously released episodes and simply boxed them up together. That's fine and all as it's more convenient to have all of them together, BUT...if you're going to do that, why not put these episodes into anamorphic widescreen and/or remaster the video images as well? Some of these episodes look like they were transfered to DVD straight from a VHS source.
But this should not take away from the fact that these are extremely well-made histories - informative, educational and obviously produced by and with the assistance of those with a distinct passion for the Civil War.
Definitely worth your time and attention! |
