Summary: Thats entertainment
Comment: Did you notice in "the bloodbath scene" bullets are being deflected away from Arnold by ROSE BUSHES??
The last time i saw that miracle i was watching the mostly excellent Miami Vice season 1 "No Exit" with Don Johnson.
Anyhoo, who can forget that all the while Matrix is laying waste to the entire island his daughter is within earshot, listening to her father murder hundreds of people. And then she watches him mutilate Bennett right in front of her eyes. Then it's all topped off with one of my favourite lines of all time. When the general asks him, "Leave anything for us," Matrix aka Ben Dinsdale, with daughter in his arms, replies, "Just bodies." And then he looks down and smiles at her as she beams proudly..
Genius. Recomended viewing for all the family.

Summary: If you want to join the Royal Marines or the RMR, watch this!
Comment: Excellent double DVD by a very talented (and fit) filmmaker. Chris Terrill really captures the trials and tribulations facing new recruits into the Royal Marines as well as the front line realities of modern troop warfare in Afghanistan. If you have any thought of joining up, watch this to get a "real" idea of what's involved, from ironing to lung busting physical exertion and onwards to ops.
If you're trying to get or stay fit and losing motivation, watch Chris' own attempts to be awarded an "Honoury Green Beret". Simply excellent.

Summary: Interesting - yet a git too long
Comment: Interesting. Interesting to see what the famous training is. And it is really very tough. Extremely tough. Interesting to see how the officers have fun blacking out the silhouettes from the photo. Interesting to see the real fight and the skills taught used live in Afghanistan.
Yet the 8 episodes and the extra (I didn't whatch it - I had enough) is too much. It is repetitive, and despite all the respect I have for these men, it is boring to see the same thing over and over again.
I liked it, but would have loved it if it had been 4 episodes instead of 8.

Summary: a brilliant insight into being a Commando
Comment: I loved the series. As a person planning to go to Sandhurst, I found the show very informative on the situation in Afghanistan better than any news article I read. The DVD helps paint a picture of the problems faced by frontline soldiers. My only criticism of the show is that ITV didn't commission longer episodes (22mins for all but the first episode), but I can live with that. A top rate series and the bonus documentary were inspiring.
