DVD Reviews of Clarkson: Heaven & Hell
DVD Review: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
As a long time Clarkson fan I was looking forward to sitting down and spending some time with this DVD but I was sadly disappointed.
Part of the problem is that with the advent of production cars such as the Veyron and Koenigsegg, the "Heaven" cars on this agenda are just not as impressive as they would have been when the show was first produced. Top speeds of 170 and 180 are just plain "meh" when - with a fat wallet - one can have a car with over 1000bhp, reaches 60mph in under 3 seconds and tops 250 on the open road. Since Clarkson is demonstrating cars he approves of, and all are similar performance cars, the "Heaven" sequences become formulaic and, dare I say it, even slightly boring.
The "Hell" segments are shorter and for the most part there is limited valid explanation as to why they are so bad; one gets the impression they are simply cars that Clarkson himself doesn't like. More than anything, they seem to be segues into the next "Heaven" sequence, rather like the articles about subjects like geography and airplanes which appear in porn magazines. Most of the highlights are in the "Hell" chapters such as the jousting tournament between the TR& and the Ford Scorpio, which deserves to be a staple event at demolition derbies worldwide, and the explosive demolition of the nasty little Kelisa.
Personally I would enjoy seeing Clarkson doing an entire show on terrible cars, why they are terrible, and creative and terrible ways to destroy them. "Heaven and Hell" is worth a watch but doesn't stand up to repeated viewing, unless you are a performance car marque junkie.
