Summary: The Amazing Howard Hughes
Review: ... I feel that this is a very good movie; very entertaining. Tommy Lee Jones captured the very essence of the mysterious, strange Mr. Hughes. I'm always pleased to run across it on TV. I have been hoping for a long time that it would be released on DVD for my permanent collection.

Summary: Short version
Review: A good movie, but you get the short version on DVD (2 Hrs)
instead of 213 Minutes......
Rating: 
Summary: Very nice and condensed
Review: I as some of the other reviewers, have seen this on TV as a three day mini series, or on TNT in just one day. The television version has alot of dead time in it and would tend to make a person channel surf. As I read the other reviews of how the DVD version had alot of things cut out and was alot shorter than the TV version, I was a little skeptical about purchasing it.
I found the DVD version to be a breath of fresh air compared to the TV version. There were things not on the DVD, but I believe the DVD hits the high points and left no boring dead time. Excellent movie!!!!

Summary: Zero Stars -- Bait-and-switch
Review: I bought this version and was ripped off. Out of the 215-minute movie, they deleted 40% of it. Critical parts of the story are missing. They did not sell the movie as an abridged version.
In addition, the sound is so bad that it's very annoying to watch it. The sound has a great deal of phase shifting. If the original is in this shape, it needs to be restored before selling anymore copies.

Review: I saw the original miniseries on t.v. It was quite good. However, the vhs tape I recieved thru amazon.com was cut by 50% or more which totally ruined it. To anyone viewing it for the first time, it wouldn't make any sense. The continuity is so chopped up all we're left with is a collection of seemingly unrelated events. The scenes that were left out connect everything together and also were very interesting as well. I don't like anybody deciding what is enough for me to see. Especially at $19.95 a crack plus shipping

Summary: Negative Reviews are right
Review: The Amazing Howard Hughes is a shockingly substandardmade-for-television production originally shown in 1977. People"will little note nor long remember" Tommy Lee Jones' performance in this stink bomb that one of the television networks whipped together to attract viewers interested in Hughes' then-recent death. If you're keen on checking out a cool portrayal of H.R.H. Jr., see Dean Stockwell in Coppola's, Tucker: A Man and his Dream, or even Howard Hughes himself in Welles' F For Fake. That's the straight dope. END

Review: The negative reviews about this movie being boring are right but for the wrong reasons.I saw this movie when it first came out and it was great. But it so cut up in this DVD that it is difficult to follow and destroys most of the appeal this movie originally had. I would bet if this movie had not been totally ruined by the studio who was too cheap to use more than one DVD, the reviews would be much different. And that is a shame.

Summary: BEWARE
Review: This DVD IS NOT THE COMPLETE TV Miniseries
One third of this movie has been edited out. WHY?
