Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Nicholas and Alexandra
A beautifully filmed and concise story which does an excellent job of explaining the reasons behind the Russian Revolution, why Rasputin gained such a prominent place in the lives of the Tsar and Empress, and how Nicholas's inability to see that times and events were changing led to the collapse of the Romanov dynasty. This was a complex story with many elements involved; the film covers these points well. Michael Jayston's resemblance to Nicholas II is almost eerie; Tom Baker is an excellent Rasputin; ...

Rating:  - Where's the passion?
This epic, set at the center of one of the most turbulent times in history, is intelligent and tasteful and may even be largely accurate in its account of events. But there's very little in the way of passion, spark to excite the viewer. It's like reading an encyclopaedia account of the Russian Revolution, written from the perspective of an attendant to the royal family. It's a bit sad, a bit wistful, but the three hours drag on without something more.
Rating: - The most historically correct retelling of the dynasty's last days.
This beautifully filmed and expertly acted retelling of the czar's final days in pre-revolutionary Russia is the best in its class. This film would be an excellent two-part introduction to the emergence of communism if paired with the equally brilliant "Dr. Zhivago."
It would be a great 4-5 hour tour de force. whf.
Rating: - Excellent
This is a great video. Characters feel real to history (and Nicholas looks amazingly authentic!), issues are clear, and movie leads right up to the fateful moment of infamy.
Rating: - Great Movie
This is a wonderful movie. Quite moving and if you are a history buff it is also quite true to the story. Well worth the price and does a good job of evoking the feel of that era. As I say, if you are a history buff this is a must have.
