1.0 out of 5 stars Rip-off, March 12, 2005

By	K. Seamon (Armadale, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Amazing Howard Hughes (DVD)

I was so glad to find this on DVD that I failed to read the customer reviews before I bought it. Big mistake. Many of the finer scenes that I remember from the mini-series are missing. The quality of the DVD is excellent, and the sound is good, but about HALF THE FILM IS MISSING!! Tommy Lee Jones was outstanding in the lead role, but it's hard to tell from this mess. What an awful shame to cripple the film this way, just to fit it on a single DVD. Have they never heard of double-sided DVDs? Hopefully, with the interest generate by Scorcese's new movie, someone will do a proper release of this very interesting telling of the Hughes story.

1.0 out of 5 stars A major disappointment from original release on T.V., November 7, 2004

By	ROCK GODD (MID-WEST, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Amazing Howard Hughes (DVD)

TNT showed this a few years back and I recorded it to VHS without the commercials and I find myself watching that fuzzy old self-recorded VHS more than this DVD! They added a couple of meaningless scenes and removed many major and important ones. Watching this DVD after seeing the TV version (same applies to the VHS version) makes me feel sick! Wait till it comes around on TV and skip this one folks.
