I found this BBC version compelling because it is a more faithful rendering of the novel. If you can get past the "stageyness", you'll find several very moving performances, most notably those of Kenneth Ives (Hawkeye), Richard Warwick (Uncas) and Patricia Maynard (Cora). So much of the British actors' talents are seen in the little things; the look Uncas gives Cora when she thanks him for her meal, Major Heywards' declaration of love for Alice, Hawkeyes' constant loyalty to his Mohican friends.If you want romantic eye-candy, get the 1992 version with Daniel Day-Lewis. If you want to see BBC talent at it's best, go for this version.

My husband and I were really looking forward to this but when it arrived and we started to watch it it was just too dated and lost our interest immediately. We should have payed more attention to the date of this series. We were expecting something more to the caliber of the Lewis and Clark series. It was just too hard to watch indians with english accents and great grammar. Also, the color was really faded. All in all we would not recommend investing in this series.

My father had viewed this years ago and remembered it being excellent. We just got it and it is not. The sets are horrible. It must have been filmed with a budget of about $1,000 or less! The camera quality is horrible and the actors are pretty bad except for Hawkeye, Cora and Alice. The Indians are terrible. Uncas is a little nerd with an English aristocratic accent and Magua is pretty dumb too. All in all it is pretty bad. The Massacre at Fort William Henry consists of about 5 women! Would not recomend, unless you want to laugh at something very dumb.

This version of Last of the Mohicans was very dull, boring, and unrealistic. It lacked the quality of other movies of the same name and gave poor examples of the Native Americans. Example; Native Americans did not scalp to release the spirit of their enemy. Also some of the dancing and drum beats were not authentic and made the Native Americans look very barbaric. The acting was dull and boring as well and without a musical score only added to the dullness. I would not recommend this movie for entertainment.

I cannot believe that I paid so much for such a horrible movie. I thought I was buying the cream of the crop and I ended up with this.After 20 minutes I couldn't stand it anymore. I've never seen a movie so stilled. It seemed as though the scenery was all plastic.I rated it 1 star, if I could, I would not have given it a rating at all. The movie starring Daniel- Day Lewis was a much better version. Actually there isn't any comparision between the two.

I just needed to refute that first review also. This is not a toy, it's not for mixing your ovaltine or slimfast shakes (though it will work for SURE). I assume that's what the first reviewer wanted it for. You can get a 19 dollar piece to do that. It's not "about a foot long!" It's 17 inches, and needs to be. It's also not 20 lbs. It's 2 lbs. and it's weight is perfect. It's not a "hand blender" for mixing water. It's an IMMERSION blender for making the thickest of the thick and the creamiest of the creamiest as far as soups go and 50 other uses. I'm a professional chef, this is part of my kit that I don't leave home without. You shouldn't be home without it.
