Noble House (DVD, 2008, 2-Disc Set)

This was an attempt to generate another blockbuster mini-series by the same author that started the whole mini-series craze with Sho-Gun. On the whole, it still works. While not as intriguing as Sho-Gun, it opens up the culture and atmosphere of Hong Kong. As with all film or TV treatments, it is a pale shadow of the book, but it is visually interesting and tells a good story. At times it seems a bit stilted and doesn't flow as smoothly as I would have liked, but overall it is an enjoyable view.

It has been weeks and no DVD. They keep saying, It's on back order. How come others can sell it, but they say it's on back order?

Sealed DVD. Cost and shipping were reasonable. Fan of Pierce Brosanan and wanted the DVD for my collection.

Seller had very good price - and was very impressed with the fast d of the delievery time of the product.

Product arrived as discribed in a reasonable amount of time given international shipping. Item was shipped right away and included a tracking number.

Really liked it. I've been trying to get it for years. I'm glad it was finally produced for U.S. viewers

Its a good series to watch when you go to hotels or places without good tv stations or bad cable you can spend 4 or more evenings watching it , thats what we did and we enjoyed it quite a lot .

This mini-series completes James Clavell's set of the opening of Japan and China to trade. It is well done and the location is fantastic. Well worth watching more than once. I purchased this to complete the set for my collection. I tried twice to purchase new, but neither would play, so purchased used on Ebay. Perfect.

An updated version which continues storylines from the three novels Tai Pan, Shogun and King Ratin the storyline. Fast pace story, fairly close to the book.

Loved the prequel to this movie, TaiPan. Saw this movie when it was first released and absolutely loved Pierce Brosnan in the title role. Had it recorded and lost it during a move. Been searching for several years for it and never could locate a copy until I found it on ebay...but only recently has there been a copy that could play in the USA..most have been from Australia or New Zealand.

I purchased these for two ladies that i work with that had been looking for this DVD for a long time. It made them so happy to receive them.

I love this miniseries!!! I've had this in VHS version, and when I noticed the DVD promotion quickly I've bought it.
Good definition.
