1.0 out of 5 stars Great Mini-Series...this version is a crime!, January 14, 2007

This review is from: The Word [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The original mini-series was 6 hours long...this version is only 3 hours.

IGNORE all the nonsense about this being the un-edited, full-length, un-cut version....PURE LIES!

If you are going to cut 50% of a movie for purely economical, greedy, self-serving purposes, as the distributors of this VHS tape have done...expect a movie that makes no sense whatsoever.

Again: the distributors of this have trashed and destroyed a great mini-series for purely greedy intentions and seem to forgot that some of us remember the original.

IGNORE THIS VERSION AT ALL COSTS !!!

There is another version of this video. It is called "The Word" by USA Home Video, and it has two tapes in a pack with 188 minutes in a full length feature film (according to the box).

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time, August 25, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Word [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I can't believe that my wife and I spent three hours watching this tripe. The acting is ho hum and the plot is unimaginably stupid. It doesn't hang together in the least. The rationale for people's actions are never explained and the ending is totally unbelievable. David Janssen was far too old to be the 'babe magnet' dnd seducer his character was meant to portray. Stay away from this one.
