What our customer's say!

"A great film - should be watched by everyone", This film has a real power to it, and presents a major historical figure in a way that is easy to appreciate. The acting and directing is superb and the film is very engrossing, and in some places extremely sad. I'd strongly recommend this.

"Historically inaccurate, mediocre-to-bad acting", This movie, while somewhat interesting, was so historically inaccurate and lopsided it's laughable. Alan Rickman's performance as Eamonn de Valera deserves particular mention; there's simply no way such a weak-minded man could possibly have served as taoiseach or president of Ireland. There's inadvertent humor in Julia Roberts's attempt at an Irish accent (and where are the strong Irish women so prominent in history?). If you want to watch a movie about the Irish struggle for independence, watch "The Treaty" -- it is more interesting and more historically accurate, and it has better acting.

"Love the film, despise the DVD release.", This review is not concerned with the film itself - but rather its presentation on DVD. First of all, the disc is packaged in the much maligned Warner Bros. cardboard snapcase - which is easily damaged and impossible to replace short of simply buying another copy of the title.

Secondly, it is a double-sided disc and the film is broken up into two parts. As it always is with films released on DVD in this manner (GETTYSBURG, SCHINDLER'S LIST) the break is quite sudden and disruptive to the movie-watching experience.

Granted, the copyright on the sleeve is 1997, so this was perhaps before the industry had created dual-layer discs - but it's a shame this title has not been re-released with these issues addressed. There are a multitude of films much longer than MICHAEL COLLINS that have fit onto one single-sided disc (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and SEVEN SAMURAI spring to mind).

Still, it's a budget priced title and - most significantly - the only manner in which to enjoy the film on DVD as the time of this writing.

For the record, the fifty minute documentary that is included on the DVD is rather interesting and much appreciated.


"Liam Neeson Shines as Collins", This is a well produced and well written film that tells the story of Michael Collins and the Irish Rebellion and subsequent civil war with great historical accuracy and drama. Liam Neeson is unforgettable in a role he is absolutely perfectly cast in as Michael Collins. Most of the rest of the cast does very well with the exception of Julia Roberts who seems out of her league here but mercifully doesn't hinder the enjoyment of the film all that much.
The tensions that erupt between Collins and Eamon De Valera (Alan Rickman)form the heart of the film. It is a chapter in Irish history that lends itself well to dramatic treatment and the film lives up to it's raw material.Nice work from director Neil Jordan.

"Pleasantly pleased", This film came in perfect condition and in a very timely manner. I got it the very next day. I couldn't have been happier. I needed this movie for a class project.

"Falls short.", I wanted this to be a great movie but it definitely fell short. Rather
than weaving an engrossing story I thought this was more of a series of
scenes strung together for historical accuracy. Maybe it was the directing or maybe it was the way it was edited - it just seemed hollow. The acting fell short for me as well, which is disappointing with such a great cast. Too bad - lots of material to work with.



"Tough story, well presented", Shows how hard the irish struggle was and how brutal the Brits could be. They should have left Julia Roberts out of the story line though.

"Liam Neeson", Liam Neeson is great as Michael Collins. I can't wait to read Collins' biography. Alan Rickman is great...

"Michael Collins Was A Pragmatic Man", Since few Americans know who the Irish Republican hero Michael Collins was, I guess it's pointless to go too far into the fact that now and again this film departed from reality for the sake of drama. Still, I enjoy Neil Jordan's movies and this was no exception. The man Michael Collins in the film of the same name comes off well here, far less of a terrorist than a freedom fighter turned statesman, basically the way he is regarded in Ireland to this day, and Eamon De Valera (just Google him and save time) is presented as a villain and a spiteful, petty man, willing to use his power to settle personal differences. Maybe that's true he did. In any event, this is a motion picture that barely made a ripple in America but was received by most of my family in Ireland with about the same surge of grateful joy that Braveheart got in Scotland. Its depiction of the violent Irish struggle for political autonomy was well told and frequently presented scenes of lasting impact. Collins' bravado, good humor, ingenious strategic savvy and ultimately his pragmatism in doing what needed to be done in his meetings with former enemies is all covered here, as is his treacherous murder at the hands of his own one-time comrades in the IRA. Had more of Ireland's people been as broad-minded as Michael Collins, the history of their island in the century just passed might have been far less tragic.

"michael collins", this dvd brings michael collins back to life.a life that was remarkable.actually way beyond that.a great person.
