Summary: DON'T BUY IT - IT'S NOT A COMPLETE EDITION
Comment: Do not buy this DVD unless you are okay with the fact that the sound quality was poor and that the DVD does not contain the whole series. They chopped it down to a point where it is barely understandable.

Summary: Maria la del barrio
Comment: Tough to watch Thalia, she is a good singer but not liking her acting abilities (or lack of). Yes, I agree it's a classic but a bit raw for my tastes. The only saving grace was to see fernando colunga (the young, inexperienced version).

Summary: Awesome, awesome, awesome! Dude, I'm hooked!
Comment: I'm a 38 year old guy and this is a really good story. I feel weird because I never could stand more than 5 seconds of American soaps. Gorgeous latin women! Fernando Colunga and Thalia are excellente! The villain, Soraya, is gorgeous too. Good acting to all the actors and what a cool story with twists and turns and not boring like predictable American movies with one or two twists to the story if you're lucky.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE: NOT THE ORIGINAL VERSION AS AIRED ON TELEVISION.
Comment: Maria La Del Barrio one of Thalia and Televisa's biggest hits finally makes it to DVD. Was it worth the wait? NO. For those of you who fell in love with this series when it first hit the air waves in 1996 you will be in for quite a shock. This is a butchered version of the original story.
It really makes no sense in releasing these famous Televisa telenovelas if they are not going to be faithful to their original presentation.
The butchering done to these episodes in inexcusable! The storyline makes absolutely no sense now as it jumps to plot point to plot point. It's laughable. Actually it's infuriating.
If you're looking forward to finally having Maria and Zoraya's infamous cat fight inside the opera house parking garage you can forget about it --- it's been cut and is only referred to in a brief flashback! Actually Maria's first sit down dinner with the family is also gone along with a lot of other scenes. UNFORGIVABLE!
Granted we're not talking about "Gone With the Wind" here, but still MariMar, Maria La Del Barrio, Maria Mercedes and Rosalinda are four of Thalia's biggest and best in the telenovela genre and have garnered fans on an international level.
It's an injustice that just to make a quick buck these shows are being rushed out on DVD in such a careless fashion.
People who have never seen these shows to begin with are going to think this is what was originally aired on television. It is not. Not by a long shot.
Televisa needs to get their act together and release these shows in their COMPLETE, UNEDITED ORIGINAL VERSIONS or just quit scamming loyal fans with this inferior product.

Summary: What is going on here?!
Comment: I remember watching this novela with my family when I was a child. My mother recently bought the dvd for my grandmother, and the whole family was excited to sit down and watch it, especially me because of the English subtitles. I quickly became incredibly confused because the editing was so oddly choppy. I understand that the cinemetography would be on the more amateur side, since this is an older novela and a soap opera after all, but this seemed like something more.
I looked up video clips of the show on youtube, and to my dismay, the clips of the same scenes on my dvd had several minutes more to them than on my dvd. Who ever edited this disc hacked away at all the important parts that link this into a coherent story. Please, someone come out with the real show!!! This is ridiculous!
So, yes to Maria la del Barrio, NO NO NO TO THIS EDITION! AGHHHH!
