 Adams Observed September 11, 2009
El Escritor (Big Pine Key)
Excellent job on the series, and great follow-up for the book. Luckily, with John
Adams, our country had a concerned diplomat among the typical political heavies of an 18th century USA.
Amazing cinematic experience! September 11, 2009
AvgMom2 (Long Island, NY)
HBO's miniseries of John Adams are absolutely mesmerizing! You don't need to be a history buff to enjoy this DVD. Beautiful cinematography, costumes, and fine acting by Paul Giamatti (I want to watch Sideways again!) and equally talented Laura Linney, the series will take you back in time to our founding fathers' struggle to create a new nation. Directed by Tom Hooper (Elizabeth I), along with the music score by Joseph Vitarelli and Robert Lane, the series will take you on a amazing, magical journey. Now, I don't know how accurate the movie is to the actual event. For that I will read David McCullough's book --- all 651 pages of it! As far as the DVD goes, however, this one is a keeper. Thanks, Amazon.com!
John Adams Video September 11, 2009
Pat Allen (CINCINNATI)
This is a great documentary about John Adams and a great peek into our country's past. It is well acted especially the title role.
 John Adams miniseries - disappointing September 10, 2009

While the quality of the production was excellent I was disappointed in some of the portrayed negative character traits of our founding fathers - especially John Adams. The series started out strong but deteriorated into an account of a man who pretty much abandoned his family for the sake of his country - and then even that was questioned. Did he do it for his country or to just to make himself look good in the eyes of others? I have no desire to watch the series a second time.
Excellent Show! September 10, 2009

I expect blue-ray quality now, so that is just average. The show was wonderfully done. I greatly enjoyed it!
