It stunk,
By "confedgray" (West Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil War Battlefields [VHS] (VHS Tape)
On first glance, this 4 1/2 hour series is about Civil War battlefields. When you watch it though, you discover that the company recycles the same blurred out "artsy" video clips in every single video and throws in choppy simulations of silent films that, upon first glance, appear to be scenes from "Birth of a Nation." They aren't. It is just as well that it's blurred because it covers up some of the defects of this low scale fiasco. The company is based in Eugene, Oregon, and it seems doubtful that they ever left that state even to take reenactment footage. A blurred out clip of Burnsides Bridge was used for both Manassas, Sharpsburg and Fredericksburg. I was expecting an in depth discussion of each battlefield with full colored realistic reenactment footage. If you are looking for quality and scholarship, you won't find it in this one.

Buyer Beware!,

This review is from: Civil War Battlefields! 4 DVD set! (DVD)
A 4-DVD set for $9.98. Sounds like a bargain you say? NOT! This series has been released in single DVD form previously, and I can tell you THEY ARE BAD! There are some quality documentaries/films about the Civil War but these are NOT it. You have been warned!
