Code of the Samurai

Rating:
Summary: George Alexander Strikes Again!!!
Review: I bought what must have been the first volume of Mr. Phd's series on samurai and was enraged at the incredibly low quality of the documentary. Judging from most of the reviews that I've read of this one, he hasn't improved. I figure the 2 positive reviews were either written by Mr. Alexander himself, or his mom, or possibly his nephew. This guy must be stopped. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT HE IS EVEN REMOTELY ASSOCIATED WITH!!!

Summary: Very informative and well done
Review: I found this a very informative and interesting documentry on the Samurai code of honor. This excellent production helped me to understand the roots of my own Japanese Martial Arts training. It gave me much to think about and I believe made me a better more determined student of the martail arts . I highly recommend this production.

Summary: worth every penny
Review: I'm really into Samurai history & martial arts that have swords as the
primary weapon of use and if you want to know about the Samurai and his
culture, buy this DVD, it's worth every penny. This video is the bomb.

Summary: Single guy speaking about Samurai code
Review: Low budget production of basic samurai info. They didn't spend any money getting video footages-there aren't any! But as far as what he talks about, he is correct so this DVD might be of interest for beginning martial artist in bushijitsu or kendo, but for people who already know the basics there really isn't anything to offset its price.

Summary: Amateur production - very disappointing
Review: This DVD does not live up to it's description. The entire video is comprised of a guy in a very ugly shirt standing in front of a temple 'talking' mostly about the history of the Samurai. Toward the end of the video, it loses voice sync. It is really, really bad. It appears that the guy set up a video camera and filmed himself talking then decided to make a buck off of it. I only hope that Amazon will let me return this sad excuse of a video.
