5.0 out of 5 stars 2008 Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony Mandarin Version, September 28, 2008

This review is from: Beijing 2008: Olympiad Opening Ceremony (Mandarin Uncut Edition) 2 Disc (DVD)

I loved the Beijing 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremony especially the one in mandarin it was very lovely with alot of artistic chinese culture that I will treasure forever the best Olympic Ceremony that I love to watch over and over. I didn't care for the one in NBC I watched it was very nice but they cut out alot of other things that they didn't show and way too many commercials. The mandarin version has no commercials. The language is spoken in mandarin and english.

2.0 out of 5 stars unprofessional production for the price, August 26, 2008

This review is from: Beijing 2008: Olympiad Opening Ceremony (Cantonese Uncut Edition) 2 Disc (DVD)

buyer beware: it is a copy of a home recording. the quality is poor and it is not worth $22! It is not a professional product. However, if you are chinese and are looking for something in cantonese and dont care about the non-sharp image of the product then go for it. I was disappointed that I had to pay for such an unprofessional product at such a ripe off price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy., August 31, 2008

This review is from: Beijing 2008: Olympiad Opening Ceremony (Mandarin Uncut Edition) 2 Disc (DVD)

It is a rip-off. It is a 4:3 ratio program put on a DVD to deceive buyers. The quality is VHS at best. Whatever the recording source is, the DVD encoding program distorted the resulting video image. It should be rate a zero star, if one is available.
