5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Snake Documentary . . . and Art, December 16, 2005

This review is from: Austin Stevens, Snakemaster - In Search of the Giant Lizard, Monster Rattler and More! (DVD)

One is lucky to meet, perhaps, five people at the most in one's lifetime who are TRULY passionate about their work, whose life IS their work. Such is the case of Mr. Austin Stevens and his passion for snakes. And it is this passion that is self-evident in his Snakemaster series, THE captivating spirit for the viewer.

This DVD contains three episodes of the entire Snakemaster season produced by Animal Planet, each documenting a buildup of Mr. Stevens' captures of snakes or reptiles in their native habitat, climaxing at the end with the capture of the biggest and "baddest" snake/reptile. For Borneo, it is a 20ft.+ Reticulated Python, a snake capable of eating an adult human being without any problem, in Australia's desert it is the giant Perentie lizard, and in the Florida Panhandle it is an 8ft. long Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake. Mr. Stevens has the innate talent to "take" us, the viewer, with him on his adventurous journey as if we were right there with him. Right in our living room, he takes us to places that 98% of us will never have the opportunity to visit, a marvelous gift to us on his part. Breathtakingly filmed, beautifully scored (a la John Barry), and wonderfully narrated -- yes, Mr. Stevens is a superb storyteller -- this DVD is not only an excellent snake documentary, but a superb work of cinematographic art! I only hope that Animal Planet will release the entire Snakemaster series on DVD very, very soon.

If you or your children like reptiles, this is a great show. Although some scenes are somewhat dramatic, it's very entertaining and best of all, the camerawork, scenery and narration are all top notch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Animal Planet, release the entire series, please, October 27, 2007

This review is from: Austin Stevens, Snakemaster - In Search of the Giant Lizard, Monster Rattler and More! (DVD)

Austin makes the show and his love of reptiles a joy to behold. He makes it a history lesson as in search of the snake that killed Cleopatra(not on this DVD) and other wonderful adventures a must. I wonder why Corwin gets the DVD's when Stevens is the real deal ???? You'll watch this DVD multiple times I bet, its so darn interesting and well done :)
