5 out of 5 stars John Adams   August 27, 2008
Denver Rose (Denver)
I originally watch the special on HBO, and I wanted to watch it again. I was very happy that you offered the mini series. I have watched it again, and passed it along to friends who have not had the pleasure of watching the original mini series. thank you for offering this special.


5 out of 5 stars Great history, lots of speeches   August 26, 2008
Mark Crafton (Sacramento, CA USA)
Paul Giamatti does something in this production that surprised me: he gave a performance I enjoyed as someone I would not have enjoyed knowing in life. I am not a huge history buff, so I am not sure of the accuracy of much of this production. However, I did see quite a few things that had me running for the books and wiki to see if they were true. Wonderful sets and cinematography, crazy strong cast, and very realistic feeling sets all work to make this an amazing series. My only sticky point here is that for large sections of the series, you feel as though Adams is only able to speak in angry, long, moving monologues and that the world is a place that had to stop and listen. About the 12th or 13th time, it gets a little hard to sit through again.

Michael J. Mccully (Pasadena, CA USA)
This book should be required reading in our schools. It's incredible the degree of education our founding fathers had. The book is revealing and inspiring. A must read.


5 out of 5 stars Terrific and awe inspiring   August 25, 2008
Charlie's mom (Hurst, TX USA)
My husband,though not being a movie fan, got up each morning anticipating the next segment. We were awed by what our founding fathers endured in order to make life so good for us. Soon afterwards, we saw another movie about someone who had never voted and he was incensed that anyone would have the gall to ignore that for which others had given so much and some had given their lives. Should be required viewing in history and government classes!

This product is now one week overdue. I have e-mailed Amazon amd the vendor twice but no answer. If the DVD does not turn up today, I will dispute the amount with the credit company
