Summary: The reg DVD is better - no good extras
Comment: The picture is better, but this has nothing really in the way of extras. If you have the original DVD just stay with that.
Customer Rating:
Summary: SubTitled
Comment: I enjoyed the movie very much and would have given it 5 Stars, but like the movie it self, it is sub-titled. Too me this takes a lot away from the movie, I'm a slow reader, trying too keep up with the dialouge. I wish that they could have put an english track on it for me. Other than that, It's a great movie!

Summary: shallow and disgusting
Comment: This film is a ahallow political melodrama full of stock one-dimensional characters dressed up with special effects and lots of pointless violence carried out by evil "men" against women and children. I get the impression that the director wanted to make an expensive heavy-handed "message" picture on the spanish civil war and figured out that the way to get it made was to repackage it as a "fantasy" picture.
As a fantasy picture, it fails for two important reasons. The first is that it is loaded up with postmodernist contempt for the whole idea of fantasy: its for the stupid, the mad or for small children. All the fantasy elements in the film are dismissed in the end as the mad self-destructive delusions of a doomed child. The second reason is that when the fantasy genre is mixed with heavy-handed real-world politics, it never works.
The film's view of the spanish civil war is overtly political and childish. Its less sophisticated and more melodramatic than star wars. Darth General and his faceless stormtroopers face off against the brave rebel alliance which though it is weak always wins. The richness of the spanish civil war in a dramatic sense is its ambiguity as reflected in author's like Orwell. There is none of that here. Nobody among the brave rebels questions why they are continuing to fight a war that was lost six years previous. Nobody ever considers the effect of the war on civlians caught in the middle. The army is full of "evil" man-monsters who kill the "good" women and children. The rebels outnumber the army, beat it at every turn, have sophisticated base complexes and are supported by everyone. The question left unanswered is why the all-powerful rebellion is on the losing side.
The violence is totally over the top. There are amputations, bloody pregnancies, death in childbirth, images of child sacrifice, torture, mutiliation, knifings and execution-style shootings.
I watched this film because of all the talk, awards and recommendations. But there is nothing about it that really recommends it.

Summary: Beautiful Fantasy Masterpiece!
Comment: Some things are very strong and graphic (violance). The story is beautiful and very deep. I am 25 years old and it made me cry like a little girl. I LOVED it! Great movie. Masterpiece.
