Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

caroledelm I read the book first & am looking forward to the last disc in the series, which is coming to me from NetFlix. I think that the adaptation to the screen is excellent, even though some things have been changed. The changes & additions of characters have enhanced the story, in my opinion. Barbara Parkins's portrayal of Martinique woke me up to what a fine actress she is. The acting overall was remarkable. I could see the "change" in Harry (Harvey Jason)when it happened on screen. What a fine actor. The sets & costumes were beautiful & elaborate. So many good actors in the series! By the way, Blair Brown's interview was most enjoyable. What a classy series. I don't know how I missed it the first time around.

osiris1997 I remember seeing this on television when it first aired. I did not know it had been released on VHS. I hope it is on DVD. This is without a doubt the best mini-series (besides Roots in my opinion) ever. I remember always making sure I was at home to see each episode. They just don't do TV like this anymore. I especially remember Mr. Jordan's lead role and that he was outstanding. The same for Perry King and everyone else. It is perplexing to me, however, that we don't have quality television like this anymore. There is so much junk on and reality non-sense that programs designed to make you think are non existent. Was this ever repeated. I think it would be a good idea to rerun this program.

GaBell13@msn.com This is Definately One of the Best Mini-Series ever Made! I Own this Historical Mini-Series! If you ever want to have a Great Film in your Collection as I do, Buy this now! Simply Put--Great Acting by the whole Cast! I Am a Huge Movie Buff & a Film Critic in my own right! The only little flaw in this movie to me was when Richard Jordan is approaching the Beautiful Mansion in Titusville! The set looked to phony! You could tell right off that it was just a Big Painting (I'm talking about the background)! This just lasted a few seconds, so this is really not a big deal at all! This is a Great Great Drama about Irish Immigrants coming to America as they actually did in real life with the hard-ships of just trying to survive. This great Mini-Series starts off in 1847 & spans to about 70 years later- going though the tough times of the Civil War & into the turn of the Century! Richard Jordan is Fantastic in the leading Role! He is very poor-but he has a vision of being very wealthy in the oil Business! Patty Duke's Performance is Excellent! Perry King as Richard Jordan is also Excellent as he is going to run for president against Woodrow Wilson in 1912. The Beautiful Barbara Parkins is very good also! Now we come to the actress Jane Seymore! This Lady in my opinion is the Prettiest Female that has ever ben on the screen! Sure there are very many fine looking females from Hollywood for years, but how can one really say that this is the prettiest lady of all time! You really can't! It's just your preference! I will day this though--I don't see how you can get any beter than Jane Seymore! When she wears the Fancy Beutiful Period Costume Dresses of this old era--She is the Ultimate! Beautiful & Sexy! You name it! I wish I was married to her! Yep--I'm just Dreaming! Ha! Anyway--Buy this mini-seies! It is Great & I mean GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Kim-68 I have just seen Captains And The Kings on video and I thought that was the best mini-series that I have ever seen. Richard Jordan was outstanding as Joseph Armagh. This was probably the best performance of his film career. He put his whole heart and soul into this role. And he certainly deserved the Golden Globe award that he won for this. He had me hooked from his first scene to the end, so much so that I just kept watching it until it was finished. I also thought that Perry King was also excellent as Rory Armagh and I think he should have received something for his performance. Patty Duke was terrific as Bernadette and I am glad that she did win the Emmy for her role, she certainly deserved it. I also thought that Blair Brown, Charles Durning and Jane Seymour were also excellent in this. So I highly recommend this mini-series to anybody that appreciates great talent and a great story and this was a classic with outstanding acting.
