2.0 out of 5 stars Amateurish and disappointing, July 30, 2000

This review is from: Academy Award Winners (DVD)

This three-disc boxed set is amateurish and disappointing. As an avid Oscar follower and fan, I considered this a must buy, but don't be fooled by the lack of similar titles - this just isn't worth it. The series is dogged by repetitive footage (no interviews are included, only scenes from trailers) and monotone narration that frankly drives you crazy after a few minutes. Very little insight is brought to the Oscars story, and the few bits of interesting information that are included would barely fill a 10 minute segment. At almost 10 hours, you can see how padded out it is... And, to add insult to injury, the image and sound quality is poor and the packaging shoddy! If you're interested in this subject, buy the Academy's authorised book "70 Years of the Oscar" instead...

1.0 out of 5 stars Shame on you, Image, September 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Academy Award Winners (DVD)

I can't believe a respectful studio like Image who release nice films such as "Bicycle thief", "City lights" "47 Ronins" & "Open City" would carry this low quality DVD gabbage. The contents of this DVD is unprofessional and distasteful. This DVD really cheats and insults "OSCAR" fans like us. Shame on you! Image.
