0 | A Disservice to Martial | This is a very poor translation. Martial is a lively, urbane poet with a razor-sharp wit; his language is precise and powerful. James Michie's translation is insipid as poetry, and often unrecognizable when set next to the Latin. A single example: Mr. Michie has a penchant for translating simple Latin words like "terra... | negative |
0 | Disappointed | The ring sizes run much smaller than the usual and the ring is so wide that you can't close your hand when it is on. Returning the item was even more difficult. While I returned it within one week of purchase, it took 7 weeks and a complaint filed with Amazon to get my refund. If you do purchase from this seller & ulti... | negative |
1 | BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!!!!!!! | This book has the most beautiful pictures in a book that I've seen!!!!!! I do not know how someone could be so talented to be able to draw those kinds of pictures! | positive |
1 | Amazing Resource | This non-fiction book is used every year in my 4th grade class. It is a great addition to the Iditarod unit that I teach! It's loaded with artistic drawings and anecdotes. The kids love it! Highly recommend. | positive |
1 | von Igelfeld for the win! | I think this may be McCall Smith's funniest work, and strangely his most endearing. His affection for his characters - three very thin, very tall, very overeducated linguists - is obvious in every paragraph. The humor that ensues from Professor Doctor Doctor von Igelfeld's adventures and misadventures is honest and end... | positive |
0 | Relaxing entertainment | I did not realise that this was just a book containing the 3 other professor books that I already own and have read.I would not have bought this had I been aware. | negative |
1 | good old fashion storey | great to see jean claude in a non-martial arts movie, not a oscar winner by any mean, but a good storey , up dated by modern advances in photography, see it, and see history, the way it was.. | positive |
1 | this movie is far UNDERrated | I'd never even heard of "Legionaire" until a skit on "Saturday Night Live" (where Kris Kattan portrayed VanDamme) made fun of the fact that nobody saw this movie. I of course thought that this movie must be godawful, so I rented it just to be entertained by its horribleness. But I was amazed at what a great movie this ... | positive |
1 | one of "THE BEST OF THE BEST" ... | Was that even a Van Damme film ? ... oh well , that's how I would discribe this Van Damme film .Great sets , Great locations , Great costumes , Great props , ok acting ... this is Van damme after all !The only 2 things I could complain about is the fact that Van Damme was a little bit cheesy about being proud to be a L... | positive |
0 | van damn this was terible | This would be the worst van dam movie I ever seen not a good plot. I am used to so much more from van dam that this movie was disappointing | negative |
0 | Good action shots but a pitiful storyline that yawns | 2.5 Stars because the action scenes are great, but the plot is simplistic and the semblance at drama pathetic, with irritating stabs of shallow sentimentalism and worn cliche. Worth renting but not worth buying unless you want good action shots and are a Van Damme fanatic. I will sell my DVD if I can. A previous review... | negative |
0 | LegionnAire | LegionnAire is really good but there is to much acting in it, it has really good action. Van Damme should stick with doing Katate movies not acting movies | negative |
0 | Legionnaire | This movie is the worst Van Damme movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I found myself drifting in and out of deep sleeps while I was watching this boring film. Please, do not waste your time or money in renting or buying this movie. It has only one "Van Damme" style fight scene throughout the whole movie. Not his ... | negative |
0 | A GREAT IDEA WASTED | VAn Damme's movies were going nowhere, each one worser than the last one ... Then a good idea came up: why don't try to make a kind of "epic" movie, taking a lengendary theme (the French unit called "Foreigner Legion" )and changing from the custumary scenario of karate kicks and sterotyphed villains who want to rule th... | negative |
0 | definitly van Damme's worst! | this is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen! And definitly van Damme worst ever!The only reason I normally watch his films for is his fighting ability...but there's like no fighting in this one...and the rest of the action is nothing special....and this isn't even the worst part of the movie....the worst is ... | negative |
1 | Good Movie, worth watching | This movie was good, because it show's that Van Damme doesn't have to kick the crap out of people to star in a movie. It has a good story to it and some emotional scenes that show Van Damme's true acting abilities. Definitly worth renting. | positive |
1 | Very Good Movie | This is a very good Van Damme movie. It is not his best movie. But I would have to say it was his best acting. Great action scenes. | positive |
1 | A moving and touching film, with plenty of action | Van Damme scores big in this movie. Finally he has picked a movie with a decent supporting cast and a good story. Unlike previous films, Van Damme's kickboxing and martial arts skills are blended nicely with real life situations and drama. This movie deserved a theatrical release, the action is tasteful and the movie h... | positive |
1 | Good,but its not like his other movies | I went the store and i saw this movie on the counter and they had Van Damnes pic on it so i got it,i watched it,I wasnt pleased,i mean the movie was excellent,but where in the hell is Van Damnes high flying kicks,I am like a huge fan of Van Damne.This is like the only movie i didnt see him do his fancy kicks.This movie... | positive |
0 | Boring Van Damme Movie | Jean-Claude Van Damme needs to stay direct-to-tape after this slow, drawn out movie. He joins the French legion after he doesn't take a fall for a couple of gangsters. Ludicrous piece of film-making which never surfaces and grabs the audience's attention. Van Damme has never really made a good action movie and he needs... | negative |
0 | The movie is a mute to 21 million hard of hearing people. | There is no close caption to the movie, and it is very boring, due to not understanding what is going on without close caption. Remeber there are 21 million deaf and/or hard of hearing people in U.S.A. that depends on close caption. If ypu cut our close caption off, then the rating falls way down. | negative |
0 | did not like it | I purchased this book after I read the good reviews. I really did not like it. The story was dull, the heroine uninteresting and the hero not a hero at all (but just some idiot). | negative |
1 | Great fit for 70# lab mix | I bought this as a gift for a friend who has a 70# lab-shar-pei mix. Even though this dog's head is a bit smaller than the one pictured on the front of the product, it fit perfectly and my friend has seen great results in her walks with her dog, who used to pull like mad, but is now behaving really well thanks to this ... | positive |
0 | could not get my dog to wear it | i tried everything but he hated it. it was a no go. even though i set it to a snug fit, he kept pawing at it until he was finally able to get it into his mouth and chew on it. | negative |
0 | No | These products are a great idea in theory, but in reality the dog isn't able to pant like it needs to and it is very uncomfortable for them. Not a good idea. | negative |
1 | Pulling is Over | A must for a determined puller, not for the dog but us owners! Near instantaneous better walking. Buddy still needs it after about three weeks. I thought he would get the idea and then I could stop using it. Not true yet and maybe never, which will not be so bad. A little bit of a pain to put on when he wants to go for... | positive |
1 | Sizing is a little off | I agree with the other reviewer about the sizing. 0 is supposed to be for a doxie size, but my Jack Russell/Pug (20lbs) mix can slip out of it when it's not set super tight. We have a min-pin mix, about 11lbs, and I worry if we order another 0 it will be too big. Honestly 0 should fit the smallest dog, not a 25 pounder... | positive |
1 | Good tool to help with pulling | Definitely too big for my 10 pound yorkie. I was able to tighten it around her neck by sewing it and now it works great. It takes a while for the dog to get used to but makes such a difference when walking her! | positive |
0 | All Chewed Up | My dog also chewed one of the straps, and the halti is now useless. Be aware that you have to closely watch your dog when you use the halti to make sure he is not chewing it. I was very surprised to find the halti ruined when I took it off of my dog because I was less than 3 feet away the entire time he wore it. | negative |
0 | Disappointing | At first, I was happy with the product because my dog wasn't pulling nearly as hard as before. But then I noticed that the side strap pushes up into her eye, making it water and become irritated, when we walk. I tried fixing the problem but nothing worked, it kept going into her eye. The product was definitely a waste ... | negative |
1 | works | really work as they said it would instant control. nice walking a dog that doesn't pull you off your feet the moment you go out the door. longer walks more at ease | positive |
0 | It's a fake | The collar actually works fine but it's not a Halti. It's a 'Holt" Looks and works the same but it's not a Halti which is what I was ordering. | negative |
0 | Doesn't work with either of my dogs.... | We have two Bernese Mountain dogs. Niether will use this collar. They fight to get it off the entire time. Tugging on it does not get their attention. PetCo also expects you to just mail items back with no documentation. Return for this is not handled by Amazon... | negative |
1 | Perfect size 3 for doberman/shepherd mix | What a great invention! Not only it fits on my doberman/german shepherd mix dog, it also works! My dog tends to pull during the walk, especially when she sees another dog. This training collar distracts her from pulling because it is positioned under her mouth. She did not like it initially and tried to take it off, bu... | positive |
0 | Broke on second use | I was excited because the collar seemed to work. My dog obviously didn't like it and tried to paw it off but as long as I kept moving he only occasionally pawed it and didn't pull. He usually pulls nearly constantly despite my efforts. However half way through my second walk my 23 pound dog stopped to sniff something. ... | negative |
1 | Works well | This Halti collar worked well at controlling my Great Dane. He learned not to pull very quickly. | positive |
0 | Didnt last long | The strap only lasted one day. Tied my labradoodle up outside a shop and when I came back he had chewed threw the bottom strap. The funny thing was he was just sitting waiting for me like nothing had happend, even though his lead was detached to where I tied him. I think the strap around the snout is too big and needs ... | negative |
0 | Not a Halti | Ordered a Halti training collar and received, on time, a Holt collar. Called seller, not respones. "Returns require prior authorization code," but request was routed to a "mailbox full" number. No follow up from seller. | negative |
0 | Sizing instructions are off | The Halti must be correctly sized - and unfortunately the sizing info to determine the correct size is poor. The Holt sizing chart is based on breeds - and didn't work for my mutt. Way too big. Why don't they provide the sizing info based on the circumference of the muzzle and neck? | negative |
1 | halti | I have a 100 lb lab- australian shepherd mix. When we are out walking he tends to forget that I exist whenever he sees a new dog, and he is strong enough to pull me over. I have tried several different approaches, including a choke chain, without a lot of success.The halti has worked better than anything else I have tr... | positive |
1 | Takes some getting used to | I purchase this head collar on advice from a friend. I have been using it for my great dane mix who is a puller. She didn't like the collar at first, but I am sticking with it and she is adjusting. It is well made and working out great. It also comes with some training tips that are helpful. I would definitely recommen... | positive |
1 | LOVE THIS WALKING COLLAR | This walking collar has the greatest design. I do not have to have great upper body strength to control my excited boxer. She walks next to me like she is supposed to. No more pulling me down the street. Bravo | positive |
0 | Flawed Design. | My 10 month old lab chewed through this product within five minutes of his first walk. Thank god for the safety connected to the collar or who knows what would have happened.The design has a strap that goes right over the side of the mouth area. As the dog opens and closes their mouth, the strap goes tight and slack. W... | negative |
1 | Take More Pixs | I upgraded to the 128 MB Smart Media card by Simpletech and was very happy with the added storage ability for photos. It's well worth it. It's rugged, fast and works with other devices. More bang for the buck. Get it! | positive |
0 | Not compatible with all Smart Media devices | Although this card fit well into my Rio500 MP3 player, I had to call Simpletech's 800 # and punch through a long phone tree to reach a helpful technician. He explanined that Rio 500's can't take more than 64MB, so I'll have to send it back and pay for shipping.Find a way to verify compatibility before ordering. | negative |
0 | SimpleTech SmartMedia is slower than other brands | I have three brands of SmartMedia cards: SimpleTech, Viking, and the Olympus card that came with my camera. I timed how long it took to copy the same 5MB file to each card. The result: the other cards took 32 seconds and the SimpleTech took 38 seconds. So, my results show that the SimpleTech is about 18% slower than th... | negative |
1 | Get it, your digital camera will love you for it! | I purchased a brand new Fuji FinePix A201 and wanted to take more pictures with it... came with a small Smartmedia card. So I decided to upgrade and get the Simpletech 128MB SM card. Now I can take a bunch of pictures without changing SM cards so often. Oh yeah, get the Simpletech Smartmedia Flashlink reader, it will g... | positive |
0 | Worst Alternate Idea | This is the latest in the stargate movies, the plot is that the stargate has captured their most dangerous enemy and they are preparing the trial for the crimes committed, however he tells things will change, somehow he manages to change the time when the stargate was not found and the team was not formed as we all kno... | negative |
0 | disappointed | I've seen better episodes on TV. Forgettable, don't even remember what it was about and it wasn't long ago that I saw it. | negative |
0 | This is the single worst quality blu-ray I have seen yet. | The movie was ok, as much as a let down as 200 was, but at least it was ok.Blu-ray on a decent TV makes this thing look like utter and complete crap.I returned it to the store to get the DVD because at least that doesn't look as bad.The lack of quality on the picture makes me ashamed to be a fan. | negative |
0 | Stargate: Continuum | I didn't recieve the DVD at all, was really looking forward to watching it :( makes me sad....... Wendy Johnson | negative |
0 | Not a fan of Continuum | I was disappointed.My wife, who is the big stargate fan, was also. She watched it a second time and said she was glad she bought it ... after being really disappointed on the first viewing.If this were the only stargate show, I would not have any desire to watch another.My wife and I had settled down to watch good ente... | negative |
0 | Bad return service | I was shipped two when I order only one! The return menu did not have a selection that covered the return and I was charged shipping to return the extra item! | negative |
0 | Stargate Continuum | Not bad but could have been a lot better. Overall it was dissapointing. They could have at least noted what happened to the Ori after leaving fans hanging with the series ending. Not worth buying. | negative |
1 | Great for any Stargate Fan! | Too bad good shows do not last forever, but this DVD continues the Stargate tradition. It is good fun! | positive |
1 | A Nice Continuation | I thought "Continuum" was a nice continuation of the Stargate SG 1 franchise. There was action, there were character moments, and there was drama. Richard Dean Anderson's return appearances are always welcome, and while he didn't dominate the episode, he had more than just a token appearance. This movie was a worthy ad... | positive |
1 | Continuum | Good fun. There's action amd tension and lightness to make gripping and entertaining a storyline that might otherwise be somewhat predictable. Ben Browder in particular manages to inject pathos and humour as well as being delightful eye candy.Highly recommended. | positive |
1 | Pretty good. | This movie is pretty good. It didn't require an indepth knowledge of the TV show to follow the movie. | positive |
1 | Great movie. | If you are a fan of the Stargate series and want to see an end to the series as a movie this is a great movie and a must see and I got this fast after ordering it. | positive |
1 | great | It was a good movie for sci fi people who have already seen the stargate series. came to our house quickly | positive |
1 | Stargate Continuum | So glad I purchased the movie. I love the Stargate series and this was very good. The story line and characters kept the action moving | positive |
1 | Great job on this one | I was a bit disappointed with Ark of Truth. The actors did a great job, but there were too many gaps in the story. This, however, was a really, really good film. It was fantastic to see so many people brought back for this one. The special effects were great, and the actors did a great job, too.It wasn't perfect, howev... | positive |
0 | A Stargate Movie | My thoughts on this are really simple. Go to Google and type in "SG-1 Movie Sneak Peak". Watch it. That's all you'll need to know. I sat through this DVD when the lights were out during Gustav. We'd been without power for three days and watched it from a laptop computer. The whole family loves Stargate and we were desp... | negative |
1 | A GREAT story, BUT ...... | I REALLY enjoyed this movie. And bringing Baal AND Apophis back was truly inspired.ONE reviewer here said that he did not understand how Daniel got his leg back. Uhhh ... DUH!! OBVIOUSLY he got himself a PROSTHETIC leg.The reason I only gave this movie 4 stars was because in other reviews on other sites, it was said th... | positive |
1 | The best of SG-1 | This is a great episode. It was good to see Don Davis as General George Hammond for the last time. It was a parade of many loved characters, though Braytac and Dr. Fraiser were missing. I love the alternate universe stories and this was just as good. I definitely recommend this for anyone who likes Star Gate. | positive |
1 | Continuum makes the grade! | A fan since the beginning I've seen every show there was..loved the final 2 hour wrap up of StarGate, even if you never watched a show, this would be fun for some who like Sci-Fi! I enjoyed several of the fun things Ben Browder slipped in while taking Command of the starship... and the fact that many of our past "bad g... | positive |
1 | A great series and great movies | I liked this one better than the first movie about Ori. I think that anyone who liked the series should get it. I haven't seen the extras yet but will as soon as I can. | positive |
1 | One of the top 3 Stargate movies ever made. | Spoiler Free ReviewThe title there is a joke since this is the third movies in the series, along with The original feature that spawned the series, and the "Ark of Truth." I enjoyed the movie, but not as much as I expected. The twists in the end caught me off guard, because you won't expect what eventually happens to r... | positive |
0 | Yawn | I love Stargate but both movies have been average at best,Continuum is just not very engaging the actors all seem like they would rather be someplace else, the core cast is woefully under used and the pacing as with The Ark Of Truth is completely off, worst of all the storyline has been done before and better in the se... | negative |
0 | disappointed | I read all those wonderful reviews and then watched the film. I was disappointed and felt like another reviewer - let down.I have been a Stargate SG1 and Stargate Alantis fan for years. It was cool to see them together for a brief few moments but then it turned out to be another episode. Where was the originality, the ... | negative |
0 | Stunk | I am a die hard stargate fan...this movie was really bad....wish that stargate would stop taking advantage of its loyal fan base by making this straight to DVD movies....end the series or put in back on the air...(i would have much prefered to pay $10 to go see on big screen vs buying the expensive dvd.) | negative |
0 | Seriously Disappointing | The original Stargate movie was pretty good, but I apparently missed at least one in between, because this one seemed to be assuming I knew things about the characters that I did not know. And to be honest, I couldn't seem to care. For one thing, it involved time paradoxes that provided apparently random kinks in the p... | negative |
1 | Stargate SG1...Continuum | I enjoyed the movie, the only complaint I have is.......please let O'neill and Carter get together....at last! They have come so close and still are bound by military regulations. | positive |
1 | Excellent fun! | The Ark of Truth was an o.k. movie. I liked it because it is Stargate and because I wanted to see the actors again. Continuum, on the other hand, is superb. The story is great, the actors are fabulous - that's what SG1 was all about a couple of years ago. | positive |
1 | Stargate: The Review | Slow at times, but overall an excellent and fun addition to the Stargate story. Over the years I've thoroughly enjoyed any episode that deals with using the gate for other purposes than just "going off-world" - intentionally or unintentionally. The way this story happened - as a result of Ba'al trying to manipulate an ... | positive |
1 | Awesomeness | As sad as it is that the series had to end, at least they have awesome movies to follow it up with. | positive |
1 | Excellent! | This is a great addition to the Stargate universe. You see all the favorite characters and get an actual end to an on-going storyline. I enjoy it a lot. | positive |
0 | Continuum, can't compare to Ark | Couldn't get into this. Ark of Truth was so much better, it served a purpose in the SG-1 time-line. Continuum, was just another episode of the show, rather contrived I might add. Seeing Claudia Black as Quetesh was one of the highlights. This movie really should have served to add more back story to the characters, rev... | negative |
0 | Borrow, don't buy! | A very predictable thrown-together movie to make a few more bucks from an otherwise outstanding series. Better than "Ark of Truth",but not much. | negative |
1 | Stargate is Great | Really miss this show. It is fun to watch the episodes and see the characters interplay. I am ready for the next Stargate show to begin.I did not realize how long the show had been on for. | positive |
1 | Great Movie | Loved seeing Jack again, this is for all of the stargate addicts! I'm not a big fan of the new SG1leader but the movie is still a good watch | positive |
1 | Wow! Great Movie | What a great addition to the SG-1 series. This is one of the best stories of the series. I've watched it twice and am eager for a third time.It's great to see Jack back, of course. The story line kept me guessing, and the action scenes were very good and not overdone. The CG is absolutely amazing and fits in without lo... | positive |
1 | Best "Episode" Yet | I love Stargate SG-1 and I've seen every episode, most more than once, and I think Continuum is the best "episode" yet. It is truly movie quality and belongs on the big screen. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone who loves sci-fi, not just Stargate fans. | positive |
1 | Outstanding | Even for someone who wasn't a huge fan of the show, this movie is a must see. Clever story, great flick! | positive |
1 | Ausome! but... | If you liked Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, or Stargate: The Ark of Truth. Then you will most likely enjoy this film. The plot was... different. I enjoyed it but it seemed to go by fast.Stars: ***** | positive |
1 | A feature length episode, but a good one | With Continuum being the last entry into the Stargate SG-1 story, they do a good job of tying up the one real remaining loose end, namely Ba'al. He is up to his usual tricks of trying to take over the galaxy and the SG-1 team is again tasked with saving the day. Like a lot of the episodes, SG-1 gets itself into a prett... | positive |
1 | Miss the series | I was very upset when they took this series off the air. I'm glad to have these movies but still wish the series was still around, Love this movie. | positive |
1 | Loved This one, but I hated the "Ark Of Truth." | Unlike Ark Of Truth this movie was very good, I loved the story line, the acting was great and seeing Jack again was the icing on the cake. If you know a bit about Stargate but never really watched most of the episodes you can still really enjoy this movie as it is a self contained story. Unfortunetly it still has Ben ... | positive |
1 | StarGate Fan | Stargate: Continuum is a good watch for anyone who has been a fan of the series. I've bought both this one and Stargate - The Ark of Truth, and enjoyed both. I think The Ark of Truth may have been a little better, but that is a personal judgement. | positive |
1 | In My World of Stargate Continuum | It was a great deal and easy to order using Amazon. The seller was fast, the package was secured, and more important, I was happy when I got it. Once it arrived, I took it out of the package and popped it in the DVD player. When I heard the opening theme, I was in sci-fi heaven. I love Stargate SG1 and was sad to see i... | positive |
0 | DisCONTINUUM immediately! | The producers of this franchise know they have a great fan base, but now after several years of making an intelligent and entertaining sci-fi series I think they've given in to intellectual laziness. If "Continuum" is the new standard of what we (the fans) can expect to see in the future from this franchise, then they ... | negative |
0 | A Decent Story, But Minimal Budget and Lack of Action Drag Down | I watched this movie hoping for closure to the franchise, and it delivered. But it still lacked that typical SG-1 zing to it that leaves a philosophical thought or critical sequence in your head for days. This movie shows great potential, but ultimately it acts as only a closer, giving no real satisfaction to the watch... | negative |
0 | My least favorate episode,or movie of any stargate | I've seen every Stargate SG1 and Atlantis Episodes and movie.The reason I didn't like it was the one thing I loved about the shows that for the most part, they were clean. This one had a couple almost goryscenes. Not to mention the swearing was like star trek 4 and 5, were all of the sudden your Heroes of many years st... | negative |
0 | Not satisfied | I purchased Stargate continium and when I received it they sent me Steel magnolias instead I have contacted the company 3 times anf=d after 3 weeks I have heard nothing I will not purchasing anything through Amazon again or its partners | negative |
0 | Fun movie, bad Blu-Ray | I should have gone with the DVD. The image quality on this is the worst of any Blu-Ray in my collection. It looks like a DVD, actually. That said, it bogs down my HTPC more than any other Blu-Ray in my collection. It stops, lurches, and the sound gets really out of sync. It also flips out completely for a few frames he... | negative |
1 | I Loved This Movie | I really liked the story line in this movie, and I loved the fact that Richard Dean Anderson was in it as well.The only issue I have with the movie is that I would have liked to have seen Richard Dean Anderson in more of it. I think it would have been even better if he had gone with them to save the world at the end, b... | positive |
0 | pleasent fluff | this was pleasent and satifying fluff. It's always worth while to watch Baal's machinations, but it would have played better as an episode.Sorry I can't say more. | negative |
1 | Stargate Continuum | I enjoyed this movie but I still want more...I absolutely loved Stargate SG1, the relationships among the actors was fabulous. If you are a diehard fan like myself you will love this movie as well. | positive |
1 | another continuem | a solid stargate movie but verry anticlimatic it just ends to fast in the end and left a lot to desire | positive |
1 | I Approve | Watch it you will enjoy it. I not a fan of the Stargate series, but I enjoyed how this cleaver concept was exercuted in this self contained episode. | positive |
