DVD Reviews of CHINA: Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong & Tibet
DVD Review: 3 stars if you view it with the sound muted.
Summary: 2 Stars
The first thing wrong with this dvd is the narration; it's terrible. The narrator's voice is shrill, abrupt, and his speaking style is very disjointed; he inserts breaks in sentences where they don't belong and elongates words for effect. "The Chiiing dynasty..." "There were expensive chandeliers. Posh. Hotels. With wood paneled ceilings." I half expected him to say "Let's. Get. Ready. To. Ruuuuummblllle!"
I also could have done without seeing the exterior and interior of a Wal-Mart in China. They spent almost as much time on Wal-Mart as they did the Forbidden City.
At the end of the main video there is a rapid-fire section with some words and phrases, but they aren't shown on the screen so it's a little confusing.
The narrator speaks of additional videos at the end, on both pandas and the Forbidden City, but they are simply built in 2 minute segments. The one on the Forbidden City is the same footage from the main section of the dvd with a tiny bit more added; there are almost no interior shots at all.
I was looking for much more detail in a documentary and this just doesn't have it.
The scenery is nice, and there are some lovely gardens, but every aspect of it is seriously lacking in quality. You can most likely get just as much information on You Tube or any one of the travel sites on the web.
