Title: So Disappointing

Title: will the real johanna lindsey please stand up?
Review: Is it just me, or is someone else writing books under the name Johanna Lindsey? I have every book she has ever written but the last few ....I don't know I think someone else is writing them because this was terrible!!!! She is capable of 5 star books. Books that once you pick up, you can't put them down. Please don't waste your time or money on this one. her earlier novels are worth every penny. Maybe she should re-read some herself.

Title: Tedious and Implausible
Review: It's always a bad sign when I start flipping pages foward in a book, looking for something to happen, and it didn't take very long into this book before tedium set in and I was looking ahead. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to find. It annoys me very much when period authors use 20th century concepts like drug reactions and psychobabble to motivate their characters. It simply doesn't ring true, and as a reader, I feel insulted that a writer expects me to suspend disbelief to so great a degree.Save your money on this one.

Title: Ehh it was okay
Review: I was thrilled at the thought of reading more about The Macgregor's after Love Me forever I was expecting something with a little more of a kick than wht the Pursuit had Melissa had spirit there was no doubt about it but the author din't do a go job in explain why she was they way she was usually her books are about a couple fighting the love that they have for one another but in this one melissa's loved ones were causing the problems. Lincoln the hero seemed more like a boy that thought that the whole world had wronged him in the end he excepts he was acting childish toward the McFearsons and he lets things be. This was an Okay book if you have nothing else to read, I just hope that Johanna Lindsey gets outs of her writting sulmp and gives us something that can we can copare wth her other hits.

Title: I agree, does not deserve even one star!...
Review: I usually do not write reviews, but this book I have to say was a real disappointment. As mentioned in the other reviews the whole "problem" of the story was that a 10 year old boy went sort of crazy after the death of his father and tried his hand at beating up 16 brothers that lived nearby. Nineteen years later he sets his mind to marry the niece of those 16 brothers and they will not allow the marriage due to what happened all of those years ago. She also needs to do research before she writes on a medical problem for that time period as shown in the final chapters of the book, it just was not conceivable! This definately was not Johanna Lindsey at her best!...

Title: Too boring to finish!

Title: Unbearble
Review: I have been a longtime JL fan, purchasing all of her earlier books (and rereading them with joy!). I eagerly anticipated each new book and loved all the characters. Lately, I could care less. I am extremely disappointed in her latest efforts, particularly this one. The characters were boring, tedious, and flat. Each page was pure torture. I finally gave up halfway through it.

Title: Enough is Enough.
Review: What an awful book. I didn't like the storyline or the characters in this book at all. I've tried to remain a loyal Johanna Lindsay fan through her last few books but she has made it difficult. I kept hoping that the same author who has given us those wonderful books about that wonderful Mallory family will somehow come back to us. It doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon. I can't waste my time or money on her books any longer.

Title: Is It Lindsey's fault or the Publishers?
Review: The book was awful and boring! I think publishers want the authors of today to spit out one or two hardcovers a year, assuming, (erronously) that loyal fans will simply read any garbage put before us. Anyone who bought this JL book did get suckered, I guess, but we romance readers learn quickly from out mistakes. JL should be held somewhat accountable, I suppose, after all, it's her imagination, or lack of, that gave us this story. Lincoln was definitely whiny, and babyish. I have never seen a more unmanly hero in my 25 years of reading.

Title: The worst and most disapointing book ever
Review: I absolutlly LOVE Johanna Lindsey. I don't think there has been a book that I haven't liked...Well except for this one. To put it nicely. It [STUNK]. There was no plot. Most of the book focused around the Lincoln's (the main character's) emotional drama. In reality, im not even sure you could even call it a romance. It's more like a "I'm a whiny boy that can't grow out of my childhood. Waaaa. Woe is me." You get my point. If you don't believe me, than at least wait for the CHEAPER paperback so when you're done reading it you wont feel like you've wasted that much money. It's realy not worth your time.

Title: She really laid an egg on this one. Pee...Ewe!
Review: What a complete waste of time. Lindsey was really reaching here for plot. The first two books of this series were actually quite good. I would give Man of My Dreams a 5 Star and the other Sherring Cross after that a 4 star, but this? Ick, terrible. Deep down I wanted to see a love story between Melissa and Justin (the son of Megan and Ambrose). The plot was silly, a regurgitation of crazy uncles protecing a lovable niece, if you know LIndsey's Malory series you know what I mean. Really very stupid...I want my three hours and $3.50 back (glad I got this one from Half Price Books at least). Barf.

Title: Disappointing
Review: I am a huge fan of Johanna Lindsay, but I have to say this was horrible. First the characters are hardly ever together, and then the reason for her uncles keeping the 'couple' apart were idotic, to say the least. I have never like the consept of 'love at first sight' and this has strengthened that dislike. If I didn't know what a good writter she could be I would never read another of her books. I can only hope that the next one will be better.

Review: I am a devoted JL fan but her most recent books ...well, ... I don't even think she's writing them anymore. I wanted to write a review but I don't want to rehash bad memories. Please, don't be discouraged by this JL book, She has 5 star material out there. Guarantee 5 star material...Gentle Rouge, Once a Princess, Man of My Dreams, Hearts Aflame, Secret Fire, Maybe JL should re-read her earlier works and then give us the goods!

Title: Lacks previous Lindsey quality
Review: Although this newset release by Johanna Lindsey has potential, it just does not live up to the quality of the past. As a sequel to LOVE ME FOREVER, you would hope it would be filled with the same humor and stirring passion. Instead, it is full of annoying uncles with confusing names and endless nonsense about how Lincoln was a "crazy" child. Didn't we all do crazy things when we were kids? Does that make us crazy as adults? Hardly. The premise is utter nonsense making it quite a disappointing novel. Ms. Lindsey's past few books lack in quality making me wonder if this author is burned out in romance writing. Perhaps if she followed Julie Garwood's example and changed genre, she may find a breath of fresh air to write a book worthy of her talent.Reviewed by Miriam van Veen

Title: This is the silliest book that I've ever read
Review: I have read all of Lindsey's books but her most recent plots have become less and less believeable. I kept asking the question why Lincoln wanted to marry into a family of idiots? Secondly, how could anyone judge a person on an act committed at the age of 10? Also, when her father heard the reason for her uncles' objection to the marriage, why wasn't he objective enough to dismiss the a 20 year old incident that occurred between children? Finally Lincoln's mother's rationale for ignoring her son for all those years was absurd.I give up. This is my last Lindsey unless someone gives one to me.

Title: Just Can't Seem to Pick This Back Up
Review: I have read every Joanna Lindsey book and have loved almost all of them. I have tried numerous times to finish this book and I just can't get interested in it. It goes nowhere and there is no romance, no chemistry, no classic Lindsey. I have bought the last few Lindsey novels in hard cover form and I have to say the last three were a disappointment and not worth the cost of hard cover. I will wait for the next book to come out in paperback. Don't waste a penny on this one-wait for the used book sales.I tried, truly to force myself to finish this one, but there are so many other good books and so little time, that I think I will read the last chapter and move on.

Title: Waste of time...
Review: I love Johanna Lindsey's books, I have a shelf of her older titles and have read each several times. But it was so hard to read this! What happened to the intrigue, the tension, the romance? For that matter, what happened to the plot?Lincoln meets Melissa at a pond near her home in Scotland. They know when they meet that they are destined to be together so Lincoln gets permission from her father to start the courting ritual. But then Melissa's troup of uncles interfere. They think Lincoln is 'crazy' because of an incident that occurred during their shared childhood. So the rest of the book is the family talking about how they think he could hurt Melissa if we went over the bend again and her arguing that he would never do that. Oh, my God, 389 pages of it! And when I finally read the explanation of what was behind our hero's past, I was so irritated I wanted to scream. What a stupid ending!I finished it, but barely and hope I never have to read one as bad as this one again!

Title: Wait for the paperback - not one to be re-read
Review: As a huge JL fan of many, many years, I find this one much below her usual in plot and in the interaction between the main characters.Though, for me, JL's most recent books haven't been as well loved as her earlier works, I at least felt they were worth purchasing and re-reading occasionally. I am relieved I got this one at the library. This was just an "okay" to read "once only" book for me.:-(

Title: Great reader
Review: I spent $10 on a MediaGrear keychain CF card reader first. That reader is usable, but it is hard to pull my CF card out. I think that reader's pins are very likely to damage my CF cards if I insert and pull my cards very frequently. Then I decide to get this brand-name reader, with $20 at bestbuy (not a very good price). And I am very satisfied with the product. When you insert your card into the reader, it is not like a floppy which goes all into the reader. Just half of the card is inside the reader. So I don't need to pull it very hard when I want to get the card out, it comes out smoothly and I no longer worry about damaging my card. When I plug the reader into my computer, it works immediately, no need to install any driver if you don't need to use that transfer button.

Title: Fast, but mine has errors downloading.
Review: I wanted a faster CF card reader, so I got this. First the software is not compatible with Vista. Contacted Sandisk and they said no problem, just use it without the "button" software. I thought fine, I'd rather not load software anyway. I tried downloading my RAW and JPEG files, and it stops with errors. My other CF card readers work fine. (I bought this through Amazon's seller "Endless Variety", and it seems they don't reply to your email). I love Sandisk's CF cards, I have 10 of them from 1GB to 4GB, so I was disappointed. To be fair, it is probably just a defective unit.

Title: Works greate with Windows (tm) alternatives
Review: I don't run Windows on any of my computers.I run FreeBSD and Linux.My daughter has a digital camera that uses a Compact Flash card. I went out to the local mega-variety store and picked up one of them mass storage device gizmos that will read every storage card yet invented. It was expensive and didn't work on my stuff. I don't know how they run on Windows. Never tried it.But I have grown to appreciate devices that do one thing and do it well - over those all-purpose do-everything devices that don't do any of them very well.This device does the job like a champ and dependably. The little button on the front doesn't do anything on my equipment; but even if it did I wouldn't use it.I highly recommend this device for reading Compact Flash - especially if you run Linux or something non-Windows.

Review: Faster than a speeding bullet.....!! After purchasing this USB reader, and seeing how fast my digital pictures download, I realize how many hours of my life were lost staring into space with the old cardreader. I use 2gig cards and take lots of photos, and this handles the downloads to my computer with ease. If there are better and faster card readers out there, it doesn't matter to me, this is FAST! It installed quickly and easily on my Dell PC, windows XP, and works perfectly. It is also small and easy to take with me along with my laptop.

Title: Fast, small, but don't drop it!
Review: I have had two of these CF readers in the last few months. My original one died only a few days after purchasing it when it was bumped off of a chair onto a hard tile floor (about a 2 feet drop) with a CF card in it. The fall broke the CF socket loose from the circuit board and the reader no longer worked.I liked the size and weight of the unit a lot (it is very compact and light weight) and it's much faster than downloading from my Canon EOS 10D which doesn't have USB 2.0, so I am giving it another shot. This time I'll be more careful with it.For the price, I think this is a great CF reader if you take care of it.

Title: This product is a time bomb
Review: I was initially happy with this reader - it worked well for a year plus change. Until recently.Worrisome: it started making a high-pitched sound when plugged in.Bad: it stopped reading some (but not all) of my CF cards.Worse: sometimes it would read files from the CF card, but the files would be corrupted when they got to my computer.Totally unacceptable: sometimes, it would corrupt files on the CF card, just by trying to read them! This means that I now have images that were destroyed by this reader, just from trying to download them off of the card.I'd recommend staying far, far away from this product.

Title: Informative but Irrelevant. Obsolete!
Review: This was great for learning quartz in TIGER but a lot of the examples don't compile in Leopard. A lot of stuff is also (bizarrely) written in C++ in Carbon. Almost the first sentence of every other Mac programming book I've ever read was "Use Cocoa and Objective C". Almost every paragraph in the book tells Cocoa programmers where to look for documentation instead. Even the examples that are written in Cocoa are in "Objective-C++" (.mm).Granted it was a decent introduction to Quartz and drawing, but if you want to take anything out of the book you have to follow the author's links to where to learn about Cocoa, open up your developer library, and translate everything into actual Objective-C yourself.So unless you plan on developing for Tiger for the rest of your life, stick to Apple's online documentation for learning how to write Mac OS X applications.

Title: Kill me quickly ... so I can escape this movie!
Review: Ok, let me start off by saying that any movie where you get to see Heather Graham in the buff is worth at least one star! Now, if she could only act, that would be another star right there. However, Heather's lack of believability is not the biggest shortcoming that this movie has to offer. On the cover of the rental box it claims "Thrill-a-Minute". If they equate this to the thrill you get when having your teeth pulled, then I would have to agree, but otherwise, I don't see where that statement applies here. The movie starts out slow and never really picks up. And, the ending... yeah, like I didn't see that coming! ("So I Married An Axe Murderer" does it better). It's very predictable except for the fact that there isn't any resolution between the two lead characters in the end. That wasn't predicatable, just dumb, very very dumb. They just sort of... walk away. That's what I wish I could have done during this movie.

Title: It's hard to dislike a movie starring Heather Graham
Review: Heather Graham (Swingers, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) plays a woman who falls for a mystery man played by Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare In Love, Luther). They meet at a crosswalk and things happen from there. Graham follows Fiennes home and the 2 bump and grind. Graham leaves her boyfriend for Fiennes and ends up marrying the man. Graham recieves faxes telling her that Fiennes is not who she thinks he is and she starts to have suspisions. Fiennes is also a big hero to many and he also has a book about him because years ago he saved some people on a mountain climbing expedition but three didnt survive. Good mystery/eroticism goes silly towards the end and loses its cool. Graham is cute and turns in a revealing performance. Fiennes is ferocious and Natascha McElhone is always fun to watch. You know the cat in this movie in my mind should of had more screen time damnit!! Is it just me who thinks that?

Title: Killing Me with the Soundtrack
Review: The only rationale for watching this film is to get off on the players' charms. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But what makes a bad thing worse (and it can't get much worse than this script) - much worse - is the constant repetition of lugubrious strains from the dreadful soundtrack at every turn in the story. So painful was the effect of listening to this riff, that I finally turned off the sound entirely [...]. The action was easier to follow from that point on (which covers how I felt about the screenplay as well). I feel sorry for Ms. Graham, who was raised under the iron fists of backward Mid-western reactionaries, much like Hilary Clinton a generation earlier, and who really makes a sacrifice everytime she disrobes in a flick. But, I guess there'll be some consolation for her when her folks come around begging when they can't afford health insurance.

Title: Boring Me Softly
Review: Appropriate title for a real sleeper. This attempt at presenting an erotic thriller has more climax in its sex scenes than real suspense. The film amounts to being nothing more than a disengaged soft-porn film. The story is so utterly superficial and psuedo-intellectual that you will fall asleep even with these filler erotic scenes.The movie seeks to capture the theme of an unaroused woman who seeks a more exciting man in her life and encounters a writer-mountain climber to fill her passions. She soon feels that she got more than than she bargained for which is certainly not how you will feel watching this movie.The story is capricious and pretentious, the script is tedious, while the acting is as devoid of all emotion as a Kevin Costner monologue. The actor playing the adventurous mountain climber seems to be too bored with life to even bother remembering his role or utter a single passionate line.Don't waste your time or money on this one, it will kill you softly without a doubt.

Title: Don't bother
Review: I hate being critical of this film because I love B movies, but this movie is bad. Really bad. Heather Graham is a beautiful woman, especially nude, but other than that this movie has nothing going for it. The acting is terrible, the plot is terrible, and the nudity is nothing you can't get from Boogie Nights. The only reason this movie gets two stars is becuase Heather Graham does great in the sex scenes despite the director failing to focus on her sensuality and just settling on getting her naked.

Review: Although I'm not a member of the Heather Graham fan club I was willing to give Joseph Fiennes another whirl after his utterly sweet performance in "Shakespeare in Love", sadly I could only laugh at this drivel that wishes to mascarade as "noir" and it isn't even grey. The dialogue must have been rescued from the waste basket of a B movie writer reject. As for satisfying our prurient desires it doesn't rise to the occasion what with the high school amateur acting, ridiculous and predictable plot ... you get my drift.

The way her character so callously jumped ship on her loving boyfriend to run to the arms of a mysterious stranger after just seeing him on the street is unforgivable.That sort of storyline is not going to win any guys over, since she makes herself out to be very coldhearted from the get go, and it's a bad influence on women who might think this film glorifies and provides encouragement for that sort of wretched behavior.She had a good life going for her, and fell prey to that typical female urge to ignore her comfortable existence and "see what else is out there", not realizing, as happens so often to many women, that she'll regret it for the rest of her life.Note to women who may be considering such actions: it's not worth it. Open your eyes to how good you've really got it, and imagine how miserable you'll be when your plans fall through. You'll be left with nothing and no one.

Title: There are 2300 dots on my ceiling.
Review: I believe the word 'guff' was invented specifically to sum up this film. I felt like I was watching an episode of Hollyoaks Late, but with a lower production value.It possesses the entertainment value of a sloth on sedatives, and is about as beleivable as Saddam Husseins good citizen award.

Title: Killing Me Softly, DVD
Review: This movie ranks at the top of one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot sounded interesting, but the lead actress was blank. She lacked character...it was embarrassing to watch her. Her lines were stupid...actually comical! The lead actor was quite believable; unfortuately,that was not enough to carry this movie!Do not waste your money by purchasing this movie!

Title: Hot Heather Graham-MMMMMMMMM!
Review: Heather Graham is Alice. A lonely bachelorette who falls head over heels in love with a mountain climber. However, his past seems a bit shady. Alice begins to explore his past & finds out there's been a string of murders in his past. As it turns out, it was his ex-lover who is responsible. Steamy stuff with a twist of mystery. There's even a brief bondage scene! My goodness!

Title: Could be worth watching, with the right viewer's attitude.
Review: It is not like any of Chen Kaige's other work. Heather Graham is a bad actress. The attraction between the leads is unconvincing. Some of the lines the characters take so seriously that it's funny. So, yes, if you approach this with the right attitude (i.e., it's not an erotic thriller--it's a comedy), you'll thoroughly enjoy it. It borders on camp in the Showgirls and Flash Gordon tradition. Otherwise, stay away--far, far away.There is a lot of sex, but it's not really that explicit, and it's definitely not exciting. Heather Graham's moans are exaggerated and phony. The humping is unconvincing. (...)

Title: Not a great one by any stretch
Review: Sometimes one will watch a movie just to see how it ends. This is one of those movies where you don't have to do that as most folks with an IQ above 30 will have the ending correctly guessed by half an hour into the movie.The leads give it a go here but the plot doesn't do them any favors as it is never presents believable characters or situations. The London scenery and Graham give the viewer a little to watch as the trite tale unfolds. It's not a bomb but 2 stars is all it deserves.

Title: Heather Graham almost makes this worthwhile -- but doesn't
Review: Heather Graham was, as always, incredibly sexy in this film.But alas, I agree with other reviewers who noted the plot here is rather thin. And the demands on the actors' talents are not very high.And for me, the denouement left me unclear about just who had done just what, as explanation of the mysteries that develop in the course of the story. This in particular left me unsatisfied. (And the only possible explanations are not especially satisfying, even if I knew which is the right one, since they lack any trace of complexity.)It's a nice song, though.

Title: limited use
Review: I found the information on behaviour and animal welfare to be limited and, in places, questionable. For example the use of single animal hanging cages is treated as standard husbandry -- despite the strong recommendation in most national laws and guidleines that social contact and environmental enrichment be provided to rats in the laboratory.

Title: In Appreciation of Art Turner
Review: I first heard a track from this cd on internet radio. It sounded wonderful and I made a mental note to track down the author. Since purchasing "Art Effects" I have played it hundreds of times. I'm a pastor of a large church, and Art's music is frequently my background track during the day. It is positive, beautiful, serene, and majestic. I find it helping center me and remind me of why I'm sitting at this desk. I cannot wait for more from this gifted artist. You will absolutely love it.

Title: UNDER PENNSYLVANIA SKYS
Review: The best thing about this movie is the soundtrack, a grey-necked Pennsylvainia steel town's hopes and fears are a musical noir that only wants to see the town's high school trophy football go through the field goal. Nice cinema during the football scenes. A bit dull though. If only Tom hadn't spent so much time thinking about football, he might have gotten into a better college. Life is like that.

Title: Lucky for the coach this wasn't Boston or Philadelphia
Review: ALL THE RIGHT MOVES will hold your interest for a while. But the movie paints itself into a corner - it winds up hinging on whether or not the high school football coach will forgive his star player for vandalizing his home. Hardly riveting drama. The blue-collar town mood of ALL THE RIGHT MOVES seems realistic. Actress Lea Thompson plays the most All-American young woman I have ever seen on the silver screen. And the film does not exaggerate the kooky love-hate relationship sports fans have with their teams, if you recall what happened to pro athletes Bill Buckner and Mitch Williams after they blew big games. See ALL THE RIGHT MOVES on television, where it's good value.

Title: almost 100% beleivable drama of high school athletectics
Review: Tom Cruise in one of his remarkable performances as a high school football player. Craig T. Nelson plays a villian coach who makes a simple coaching mistake during a tough football clash. The coach has a well thought out game plan, until the last play of the game. He ends up costing more than his team's winning against a top-ranked foe, he loses his respect among the team's unsung defensive leader. Cruise works well with co-star Leah Thompson as well as Sean Penn. At times this story may seem unbeleivable, but in many ways it is so true to life.

Title: A somewhat forgotten cult classic!!
Review: This is one of Tom Cruise's early movies and while a bit cheesy, it was an entertaining enough production. Lea Thompson made her film debut, while Craig T. Nelson was outstanding in his potrayal of the head football coach. For those who grew up in the 80s, this is a definite cult classic and well worth the viewing.

Title: Not enough info to give an accurate rating
Review: This rating reflects the lack of information needed to evaluate this product. I love Eve Arden and would love to buy this. But it is listed as one disk for 85 minutes. No indication of how many episodes but at 85 minutes, it could not be more than 3. This is pretty steep for the listed new price at 39.99, in fact it is more than steep, it is unacceptable.My guess is that the information listed is incorrect and should be adjusted to reflect the fact that it is probably a multi-dvd set. Without that adjustment (or a steep drop in price to under $10), it is hard to see how anyone would buy this.

Title: Rainbird back to the drawing board!
Review: I would like to give this product a negative star rating. Like a previous entry, I put together a large underground sprinkler system. using 30 or these mini paws. 1 year later, about 6 or 7 of them are failing. They wont rotate, they just spray in one spot. I pulled one out to take a closer look and somehow dirt has gotten into the place where the head should rotate, now it grinds. I have one area of my lawn that was done in a sprayer type of head, they've been working strong for 6 years now no maintance required. I guess I'll have to switch these out like the other reviewer did. DO NOT BUY THESE, YOUR WAISTING YOUR MONEY. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

Title: ruined by moronic narration
Review: Fantastic video but the pretentious narration is just terrible. If only one could switch it off altogether. In the end I switched to the Spanish which I found less intrusive and used the English subtitles the first time. The next time I just watched the video without subtitles as the text is just too pompous and pretentious for words. What a shame reallySuggest rent as the ghastly narration works against watching it too often

Title: All Beauty, No Substance
Review: This film deserves credit for the wonderful shots it capture. Beauty aside, it's frustratingly uninformative.

Title: Huge Caution about Origins
Review: I always enjoy seeing captivating animals and ocean life but I support a Creation world-view so I didn't appreciate the evolutionary references. This movie is highly evolutionary, the narrator makes it a point to discuss the origins of life three separate times and make claims that I don't believe are true. My advice to the film makers would be to leave this controversial subject out of the film. If you want to learn more about evidence for creation, one of my favorite resources is drdino.com. You may not care about the Creation/ Evolution subject at all, but really it is a bigger deal than most think and I encourage you to research both sides.

Title: Beautiful Movie With Great Cinematography
Review: This movie was fantastic -- it covers everything about our oceans, from the shallows to the deep and all the creatures in them! Pierce Brosnan does a terrific job narrating this Disney film and if you're even a little bit interested in marine biology, you will enjoy this film. Sharks, whales, dolphins -- they're all here, with lots of interesting facts and great footage.

Title: Amazing documentary. It's a cliche, but I laughed and I cried
Review: This video is captivating. There are so many moments in this film that I eagerly look forward to seeing (and trust me, I've seen this *many* times, as my 4 year old is constantly requesting we watch it.).The movie does an exceptional job at showing us not only what sort of life is teeming in the oceans, but it inspires us to care about that life.I've seen all of the planet earth movies and still think this was is exceptional. A great production.

Title: GREAT movie!
Review: I saw this movie with my two grandsons and can not wait for its release in October. I'm pre-ordering it now so I'll have it as soon as it becomes available. The cinematography is indeed fantastic and there is no need to rate it any lower because of the narration. This is a must have in your collection! When my son-in-law inquired if his 4 and 6 year olds thanked Papa for taking them to the movie, the six year old immediately replied "thanks Papa". After a short time, and following another request from the father, the four year old replied, "I'm NOT thanking him for making me watch a great white eat a seal!" There are a few graphic scenes but they are REAL - big fish do indeed eat little fish.

Title: Watch the French Version
Review: I saw the Disney version in the theaters back in March and the narrative is really disappointing and the film is dumbed down. I recently watched the French version which is much more poetic and shows more of the challenges the ocean is facing. Not to mention, the film is longer so you get more amazing footage. This is probably the best ocean documentary ever made.

Title: Beautiful pictures spoiled by silly script
Review: Oceans is filled with some amazing pictures, from a lone scuba diver swimming alongside a shark that's 10 times his size to a series of close-ups of sea creatures that look more like something from a cheap Hollywood horror movie than something actually found in nature. Sadly, most of what's shown in the movie won't be new to the audience, particularly if you've seen any of the plethora of nature movies and television specials that have been released over the past few years (a cuttlefish is a cuttlefish is a cuttlefish), but it's still beautifully photographed and looks great on the big screen.While it's lovely to look at, however, Oceans is more than a little tedious to sit through.[...]
