Summary: Classical Fare
Review: I enjoyed this movie very much. Being a fan of Mr Verne, I was very glad to see that it follows the original idea far more than other movies to date.

Summary: Poor Quality
Review: I had the original VCR. It is a five star movie. I bought the new released DVD and the quality is bad. Everything has an orange cast. Who every reproduced this did a poor job.

Summary: Oierce Brosnan is the master
Review: I read the book for the first itme when I was eight at the request of my Uncle. And then I saw the movie when it came out two years later. I loved both immensely. Both have that sense of grand adventure and daring-do that I enjoy. And the movie has the added incentive of having Pierce Brosnan as the lead character, Phineas Fogg. I have admired him since I used to watch the Remington Steele series on TV. He has a casual elegance about his ability to play the rather strict business-like individuals is something he does better than any other major movie star. For reference check out his performances in Taipan, The Thomas Crowne Affair, The Lawnmower Man, and any of the Bond movies.

Summary: journey with lots of obsticales
Review: I saw this movie last summer on tv. When I started watching it I had no idea that it was as long as it is, otherwise I probably wouldn't have watched it, what would have been a mistake. Then this movie is wonderful. The only reason I can see that some people might not like it is, that it doesn't use all this high technology, full of action and sex scenes that we are used to now a days, when watching a movie. For me it is a welcome change and I enjoyed it, but everyone has their own opinion and is entitled to it.
Another thing I like about this movie is all the build in obstacles Pierce Brosnan has to go through on his quest. Often, it seems to me, that once he got out of one problem, he faces another one, what creates suspence on whether he will reach his goal or not. Also I highly appreciate the differente cultures portrayed in it.

Summary: Wonderful family movie
Review: I think this is a perfect movie to watch when you have several hours to spend relaxing. It's very long but you don't have to watch it all in one sitting. You'll want to get back to it as soon as possible though because it keeps you wanting more!
I divided it up into two evenings. This is one movie you can watch with your grandmother or with children around and not be embarrassed. I think it's a great family movie. And the picture was fine. I used to have the VHS copy and this DVD was much better quality.

Summary: Lost a lot of fun!!!
Review: I watched the same film in VHS few years ago.
It was very impressive and had a lot of fun.
But after I got this DVD, it really disappointed me!!A lot of scenes have been REMOVED: just like the chapter in China, Japan and India.And that part(saving the princess) has gone also. If this is a miniseries, I guess they really didn`t have an idea about when and where to cut it!!!

Summary: The Best 80 Days Adaption Ever!!!
Review: I would give this pitifully under-rated film five stars, however, there are some problems with the 2 DVD set....
This is a good quality transfer, but there are 2 flaws in this version....
Some scenes from the VHS set are missing.... but the absolute worst thing is that every 15 or 20 minutes, we have to see the opening logo once OR TWICE, then also see "previews of the next episodes" and so forth, which worked well on commercial television, but absolutely have no place on a DVD. The VHS version simply had the entire miniseries as a continual film... this is how the DVD should have been replicated... with the missing scenes restored.

Summary: Third Rate vs the Real Thing
Review: Most so the called remakes are losers, and this one, along with a bunch of others, is no exception. The elegant and classy 1956 version is the one and only. Throw everything else in the trash, where it belongs. In Around the World in 80 Days - Miniseries, Pierce Brosnan is certainly better than his James Bond roles, in which he came across more like Mr. Rogers.
Rating:
Summary: A Great Entertainment
Review: This is a charming and wonderful journey to watch. I enjoyed it a great deal, but be warned... this is NOT a family movie. Today's youth with short attention spans who like blood and monsters won't understand this one. Save it for the adults. Its well written, well acted and simply great fun.

Summary: Excellent movie however DVD lacks quality
Review: This is an excellent movie which aired as an mini movie in 1989. The movie has a nice flow and the characters are quite vivid. Around the world imagery is quite colorful. It was a delight to watch it again. Unfortunately, the DVD quality resembles that of VHS. It was a poor quality transfer for a DVD considering that this movie was shot using Panavision equipment.
