DVD Reviews of Warrior Empire - The Mughals (History Channel)
DVD Review: Good on warfare details
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary went into depth on the Mughal weapons, and their power. Pretty scary to see how their little composite bows stacked up to the long bow. These guys must have been a real terror.DVD Review: Good into to subject
Summary: 3 Stars
For an amateur like me this was a good intro to the subject of the Mughals, about all I'd known about before was that one of them built the Taj Mahal. It focuses mainly on their military exploits and weaponry, and is a bit light on the other history, but for a segue in to the subject it's fine. The section on the amazing gigantic canon, which had a range of 20 miles (the same as the 16 inch guns on the WWII battleships like the Missouri), was worth watching the video just for that. At 90 minutes, it's half an hour longer than the typical one-hour special. Overall, an interesting and entertaining intro to the subject. I'd be interested in a good recommendation for a book on the period from anyone who knows this particular period.DVD Review: Excellent but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Firstly, I should state that I knew very little about the Mughals which is why I bought this DVD. I agree with the others who gave this film 4- and 5-stars. However, there is a negative no one has pointed out yet, so I will.
For some of the battle scenes the History Channel used the same kind of cheesy CGI that was used for Decisive Battles of the Ancient World. But this is just a quibble. It's entertaining. It's informative. Buy it. You won't be sorry.
DVD Review: GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great HISTORY CHANNEL Video. I love the historical link between Tippu Sultan's rocket innovation and Francis Scott Key's "Star Spangled Banner."
DVD Review: FROZE
Summary: 2 Stars
Can't reallly review this. Got it and just as it got good the thing froze on us.
Description of Warrior Empire - The Mughals (History Channel)
WARRIOR EMPIRE: THE MUGHALS is a sweeping, in-depth portrait of India's most colorful, violent, and majestic era. From 1526 to 1858, this dynasty of nomadic warriors indulged their appetite for territorial expansion, spreading their rule throughout the Indian subcontinent. Though they conquered their kingdom with crushing brutality, the Mughals were also brilliant technological innovators and masters of art and architecture. This program offers lush, detailed images of Mughal accomplishments such as the glorious Taj Mahal, palaces, forts, water systems, elaborate gardens, and richly crafted artwork. Step-by-step scientific recreations of advanced Mughal metallurgy and weaponry show the meticulous production of chain mail armor for a battalion of elephants, lethally flexible composite bows, rocketry, and swordsmith techniques passed down through the generations, and still alive today. Join us for an enthralling history of the inventive warfare, material excess, architectural marvels, and cultural flowering that shaped modern India.
