Customer Reviews

accuracy

I don't see how anyone could say there are inaccuracies in this book. Glenn Hopp knows film like the back of his hand.

A great purchase.

A great videohound book is one where you enjoy reading the reviews of even the movies you either haven't seen or don't like. This book falls into this catagory. It is informative and also intellegently written. I have little tolerence for ignorance so when I say a book is good it is. Don't be afraid to spend the money on this one. It is a good purchase.

Study of Great Films Mc

I found the book most informative. In My opinion Mr. Hopp did an excellent job in selection and explanation of epic films.

Good overviews of some great films

The first review posted on here about this book is a little harsh...it does appear that the book was put together quickly, but considering that, it is an enjoyable collection of reviews, trivia, and other information on "epic" movies. The book looks good, the reviews are for the most part interesting (particularly in the way they relate the films to the idea of the "epic"--they're not just your standard "thumbs up, thumbs down" reviews), and the trivia and quotations are nice touches. All in all, better than many of the "movie" review books out there.
