Summary: David Copperfield
Review: I really loved the first half of this movie. It has a very young Daniel Radcliffe playing the part of David Copperfield. He does a Superb job. Be sure you have alot of tissues for the first half. Also Maggie Smith as his aunt does a superb job. " No donkeys, No donkeys". The lady who played Madam Hooch from the first Harry Potter movie was also in it. She played the wicked stepdad's sister. Some parts in the movie made me cry and some made me laugh. All in all this is a great movie. Don't listen to the person with the bad review on Danny and this film. It was a great film. Danny's acting in this film made you want to just hug the stuffing out of him.

Summary: A great version of a great classic!
Review: I saw this and became very aware of why David Copperfield has become such a classic. The production of this PBS version rivals any period movie made with Hollywood money. You'll really get involved in the lives of the characters.

Summary: Very Good
Review: I thought this video was very good. I haven't seen other versions, so I can't compare them, but I think it portrays the book excellently (although the book IS of course, better). The first tape is the best. Daniel Radcliffe does a wonderful job playing young David. The plot also follows the book and even the lines in the book very well. The character are cast perfectly. Mr. Murdstone is horrible, Mr. and Mrs. Micawber are exactly how they are in the book! In the second tape, I wish they hadn't cut out the part with the old Doctor, or Tommy Traddles. They focused more on his relationship with Dora and Agnes in the movie, whereas there are many themes going on at once in the book. Also some little things, like Agnes doesn't seem to take quite so kindly to Dora in the movie as she does in the book. But Maggie Smith is excellent as Betsy Trotwood (of course). Overall, this is a fabulous movie. Even if you haven't read the book, you'll want to after you see this.

Summary: Part I excellent, Part II Good
Review: I watched Part I with my 8 year old daughter. She absolutely loved it and so did I. It was so visual and captivating that she watched the whole 90 minutes in one go, even though she originally had said that she was only going to watch 30 minutes of it. I hope she will read the book in due time. I saw Part II by myself (I didn't let my daughter see it because I think she is too young to relate to it much). I think Part II was also very good although a bit choppier than the Part I (eg. the wickedness of Heep was not very fully developed). Overall though I still enjoyed the movie.

Summary: Great production of David Copperfield, delightful acting
Review: I watched this with my daughter who prefers stories with easier language but she was crazy about this production and asked to get a copy of her own DVD. Very understandable because of the excellent acting but also very faithful to the story. Beautiful settings, and great costumes, this is the Masterpiece THeater production and keeps up the tradition well.I would recommend, especially for families with kids being introduced to DIckens.

Summary: Finally A Good Movie In English
Review: If any English Teachers out there are wondering what movie they should play in class next, this is a must. It kept my class of 8W on their seats. As a teenager I thought it would be another boring English Movie. But it wasn't. I enjoyed it because it was bursting with adventure and the story line was always moving along. David was the most lovable character. He was a good role model because even when the tough times were really tough he kept his chin up. There are many lovable characters but with this there are many dislikeable characters. I gave this a four star because of it's lack in balance. There were to many bad times and not enough good. All teachers should get this for there class.

Summary: David Copperfield
Review: Masterpiece Theater does it again! This is the debut of "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe. Ironically enough, quite a few of the cast members of this PBS miniseries have performed together, especially cast members from "Harry Potter." This is a perfect film...no flaws at all. Comparable to the PBS miniseries,
"Moll Flanders."

Summary: Better Than Harry Potter
Review: Much better than Harry Potter and a great way to introduce a classic- with an actor a child can associate with. If your children like Harry Potter, this is a must have.
