Rating: Summary: ROMANTIC! Review: Surprisingly enjoyable story with interesting romantic characters. Especially enjoyed the relationship between Clowance Poldark and Stephen Cravenson. Nicholas Gleaves is a handsome rogue!

Rating: Summary: How Dark and Dark It Grows Review: The British dawdled about releasing this dubious gem to its unhappy public. Not surprising. There had been a petition to hire at least Robin Ellis and Anghard Rhees of the original series. Since this makes all the sense in the world and would probably have led to filming the final Poldark novels, it wasn't to be. The result is a 'new' Poldark who looks as though he's been stuffed and mounted for years and a Demelza (Mel Martin) who gives a game try but one keeps looking for that tiny redhead.For avid readers of the novels, not to mention those who periodically stagger under the weight of their VHS collection to reprise the original, this may be a necessity. And you can still rely on the beauty of Cornwall.
Rating: Summary: Dreadful with a Capital D Review: This was awful. Reviewer Lawyeraau is right--it is a turkey and doesn't finish any of the story lines.This Poldark is such a mess that I'm not sure it even qualifies to be called a film. Were it done in the states - it would have been directed by Alan Smithee (if you get my drift.) Phew, what a stinker!
