Movie Review: THE DYNASTIC SAGA CONTINUES...
Summary: 5 Stars

Poldark's rival and arch enemy, George Warleggan, is now married to Poldark's childhood sweetheart Elizabeth, widow of Poldark's first cousin, Francis. Warleggan will stop at nothing to ensure the continued ascendancy of the house of Warleggan and the destruction of the Poldarks. Family ties that bind both may serve to join their houses, but George Warleggan intervenes cruelly, consigning others to years of unhappiness. Meanwhile, politics also plays its part, and Ross Poldark and George Warleggan find themselves battling for political power.

Meanwhile, Poldark's good friend, Dr. Enys, marries Caroline, the woman of his dreams, a beautiful and gloriously rich heiress. Ross and Elizabeth have a fateful meeting, one that threatens the sanctity of his home with Demelza and fuels George Warleggan's insecurities over his wife's affections, as well as his hatred of Ross Poldark. Of course, Demelza has had enough of Poldark's mooning over the icy Elizabeth, and when a young naval officer sweeps her off his feet, Demelza's resistance is at an all time low.

As the eighteenth century comes to a close, the Poldarks and the Warleggans have undergone many changes and weathered many adversities. Ross Poldark continues to be a proud and stalwart man, bemused by his newly realized love for his feisty wife, Demelza. George Warleggan, alone and embittered by finding out too late what he should have known all along, has yet to put an end to the rivalry that has fueled so much hatred and enmity. The trials and tribulations of these two competing dynasties will have the viewer riveted to the screen.

Robin Ellis as Ross Poldark, Angharad Rees as Demelza, Jill Townsend as Elizabeth, and Robert Bates as George Warleggan are superlative in their respective roles. Judy Geeson is magnificent as the independent heiress, Caroline. Unfortunately, Dr. Enys is no longer played by the charismatic Richard Morant. Instead, Michael Cadman takes over the role and, while competent, is not as romantically charismatic as his predecessor. Eileen Way also gives a very notable performance as Poldark's elderly Aunt Agatha. Kevin McNally gives a very moving performance as Demelza's brother Drake, whose romance with Morwenna, Elizabeth Warleggan's cousin, is star crossed due to the interference of George Warleggan. The rest of the supporting cast is, likewise, top notch.

This second set of six videos is every bit as captivating as the first set of six, leaving the viewer wanting more. Bravo!

Movie Review: As Grand As The First Series
Summary: 5 Stars

This series is beautifully shot in Cornwall and, even though it is over twenty five years old, still holds up well. This series ends tragically, with little room left for more sequels. That's a pity, because Graham continued his Poldark saga well into the nineteenth century, focussing on the next generations of Poldarks and Warleggans. Maybe someday we can see Poldark 3!

Movie Review: Absolutely Wonderful!!
