I was very disappointed with this video. First, it seemed very short. Second, there is no footage on this video that is not available on the A&E and Lifetime documentaries about Evita, and those are far superior videos as they include interviews with people who knew Evita and worked with her. There are no interviews with anyone who knew Evita on this video. The only interview is with Madonna - and it is a very short interview and was not done specifically for this video, rather is it stock footage that has been made available to all EVITA promotional events.

I was very disappointed with this video. And, as I recall, this video is recorded in the worst possible mode - EP/SLP. Which means the quality is very very poor.

I felt sadness and sorrow for Eva Peron as I watched the movie. It was so interesting I watched it 3 times straight through in a row.

Evita: The Story of Eva Peron, is the real account of the life and times of Eva Peron. The telling of this quintessential heroine is spellbindingly interwoven with exclusive interveiws about modern day superstar Madonna. Both Eva and Madonna have much in common. Both are revered and maligned by their vast audiences. But, through their determination and innovation, they forged brave new worlds in thier respective countries. Capturing the drama and sweep of Eva Peron's rags to riches rise to power in Argentina, Evita brings you into this great world leaders life. No other person is more suited to play Evita than Madonna, a perfect blend of femininity, magnetism and steel. Evita will leave an indelible impression of the indomitability of the human spirt! Long after the movie is over, her abition, compassionn and vision will stay with you. END

As soon as the movie began, I found myself swept up in an exotic musical adventure. Madonna is the perfect choice to play Eva Peron. Her acting and singing are top notch. Banderas is equally good, and I like the way he sings with "attitude"!

The enunciation is this movie is excellent which allows you to totally immerse yourself in the movie and enjoy the characters to the fullest. And the songs are sensational. My personal favourite is "I'd be surprisingly good for you", sung by Madonna with such passion and tenderness.

Evita is, in my opinion, a top notch movie which everyone should experience!

This bored me like none other. I couldn't even finish it!
