1 out of 5 stars Trash.......2006-01-24

Very shallow, biased by leftist-liberal-USA-centric point of view. John Paul II was a bad guy - bad organizer, bad administrator, not democratic (not listening to vox populi regarding abortion, contraception and such issues), conservative, and was not considering USA the Most Important Place In The World. The most riduculuous statement was that He didn't issued personal apology for sexual abuses done by American priests.

Giving only one star because I am not sure whether it is technically possible to give no stars.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2005-04-30

I expected more of an appreciative review of this great pope's life. While there are some wonderful scenes (who can forget his encounter with the trembling Gen. Jaruszelski?), I agree with other reviewers that the American bishops' negligence in the clergy abuse scandal receives disproportionate attention. Also the picture quality is quite poor for a DVD. I expected more.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Documentary!.......2005-04-12

This show is put together very well. ABC News and their staff did such a great job in researching and creating an excellent documentary on the Pope!

1 out of 5 stars i saw it on tv.......2005-04-07

This dvd is just the same stuff that aired on ABC News. One doesn't get the sense of any work put into this docu for the dvd viewer.

2 out of 5 stars Rehash of free TV.......2005-04-07

The material and presentation are decent, but this look at Pope John Paul is basically a ABC free broadcast from quite a while back, transfered to DVD-- and asking for your money. Some of the bonus features are strong (tho, again, rehashed TV), but Diane Sawyer in the Papal Apartments is typical annoying Diane: the focus is all on her, not the Vatican and certainly not John Paul II. A better bet is NBC's DVD, "NBC Presents: The Life of Pope John Paul II" -- with fresh material created just for DVD release.
