Title: What a disappointment!
Product review: I buy quite a few books and CDs and DVDs each year, but this is the first time that I have felt impelled to write a review. Anyone who has seen the excellent series on the Civil War by Ken Burns can't help but gag at this boring work on the First World War. It is nothing but a chronological presentation of the battles, with the same film clips used over and over and over. After seeing the same film clip used for the 6th or 7th time I got pretty tired and even irritated, and had to turn it off from pure boredom. There are countless excellent photographs from that war. Why were they not used rather than re-using the same film clips a dozen times? One wonders what kept the makers of this documentary from using other sources (letters from the soldiers for example) rather than droning on about the rudimentary information on the battles? I am sorry I paid money for these DVDs.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
