Summary: Civil War Minutes is hard to watch.
Review: Watching this DVD series was a huge disappointment. I walked into it expecting everything the packaging had promised, and left with a bitter feeling like I [wasted my money.] There are some good aspects of this series, but unfortunately, it's buried under hours of amateur quality video, and cheesy sound effects.

The host seems to be extremely knowledgeable, and some of the things he brings up are very interesting, but little of it is worth the price you must pay to view it.

The biggest disappointment wasn't the host, but instead, the production value of the video. I can't comprehend anyone actually releasing, and selling video of this quality. The sound was equally as disappointing. It seemed to be hours of splats, screams, and other "B" movie effects. Sometimes the amateurish sound effects actually obscure what the host is saying.

There were some good points in this series and it wasn't a total waste, but overall, it could be much, much better. The first time I watched it, I couldn't get through the first 15 minutes. For me, there was just too much garbage to wade through in order to get to the good stuff.
