Into the West Cusomter reviews:
Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 127
(Sarah J. Bernard, 2009-10-16) This was an excellent mini series. It was well written, well acted and well produced. The characters were believable. It was well worth the time to watch.
(Joan M. Bowers, 2009-05-31) This movie is awesome. I saw it at the movie theater and had to have it on DVD.
(Wesley Scott, 2009-05-16) This is a great mini-series and a very enjoyable viewing with gorgeous scenery and excellent acting from the cast. BUT this is a chopped up version and many scenes have been edited from the original broadcast shown on the US cable network TNT. Sometimes in this version it feels like there are some bit missing here and there, and the movie does not flow as it should. Some characters appeared then vanished from the story for no apparent reason. Cut versions of movies are one of my pet hate, but I still bought this DVD and enjoy watching it. At a later date,I did buy the 6 discs box made for Emmy Consideration to Emmy members, as someone mentioned in one of the previous reviews that it was containing a full uncut version of the series, but I was very disappointed to see that the episodes are exactly the same as the commercial version, only on 6 disks instead of 4 and with a book as extra. So if you see one of them on sale somewhere, unless you really want the book, don't waste your time and money. But I hope that one day an uncut or extended version will be at last released. and that we will be able to see this mini-series as it should be.(UNCUT).
(Dale D. Barnhart, 2009-04-26) Steven Spielberg produced INTO THE WEST as a full 12 hour miniseries, which is actually 720 minutes in length. What you get on this DVD is 552 minutes of actual footage on three(3)discs which probably includes the time on the so-called extra fourth disc. When 552 is subtracted from 720, you get 168 minutes of footage that was deleted (or edited, if you prefer) so as to insert commercials into the broadcast. this is almost three(3) full hours of footage from this epic drama that was arbitrarily removed due to the time needed for advertisers to pump their wares! When you take time to view the fourth extra disc, it becomes immediately apparent just how much of the orginal andimportant footage has been removed. It makes me cry bitter tears to know that I have been denied this 168 minutes of actual footage in order for some company to try to sell me something I don't want, don't need and probably can't afford anyway. Ted Turner, where are you?! You need to release a full-length, unedited-for-television version of this historically important look into Americas' past. I suspect the full-length version is of the significance of your GETTYSBURG and GODS AND GENERALS releases. I have no doubt that there are many, many thousands of potential buyers for such an offering. While I enjoyed this DVD to some extent, when I realized how much material had been cut, it made me furious! If you decide to purchase this DVD, be aware that a lot of original material filmed for this miniseries is not included. I suspect that this will bother you as much as it bothers me.
(Alan A. Jones, 2009-04-21) I thought this was one of the best series that I have watched and one of the few that I would watch again...Just loved this one.
