Rating:  - Great Movie!!
First of all, this movie is UNCUT. I have it taped from when it first aired on TV. So those of you who may have read the previous review that said it was missing parts was incorrect.
If you are thinking of getting this movie afte seeing it on TV then get it. It took forever and many petitions to get it on DVD. You will find Halle Berry's performance amazing of course. And the all star cast was incredible. Enjoy.
Rating:  - If only for Haley & Berry
If you loved Roots, go for it. It adds another dimension to what Haley had to say about his family roots.
If you are a fan of Halle Berry, go for it. She does a great job.
(Ann-Margret too, by the way).
If you hate overdramatic stories, especially when you are not sure what the story is aiming at, avoid it. It took me forever to watch it because it made me feel like a bad Danielle Steel movie. There is something cheap about the way the story was used to make this saga come to life (!) on screen.
Finally, this mini-series has nothing to do in scope & quality compared to Roots. Je suis déçu, très très very much.
Rating: - exellent
i love black history type movies and this is a great movie in every way. its a must see.
Rating: - Great Non-Typical Slavery Story
This movie I think is totally different from Alex Haley's "Roots". I think that this story shows apart of history that wasn't really the norm back in that time. You should purchase this movie to balance your DVD Collection and show it to your kids.
Rating: - Movie
Waited along time for this movie on DVD, now I have it to add to my collection.
