Mixed Feelings September 30, 2008 In my opinion, these movies have terrific graphics and the varied "directing" approaches made the shows even more believable. However, while my husband and I enjoyed watching them through once, there are a couple things we both didn't like. It's a fact of life that critters in the animal kingdom can be brutal, but the creators seem to go out of their way to focus on bloody mess. Also, there appears to be a lot of science fiction being presented as scientific facts. Artistic interpretation can add much to the quality of a show, but we feel that creative speculation should be clearly presented as opinions/ideas. Likewise, it would be nice to hear the word "theory" used more often on these topics. We bought these shows primarily because our our young children (ages nine & under) like to learn about dinosaurs, and we want them to enjoy nature and science shows, but we're not comfortable letting them watch this series yet.

Great for the dino-obsessed 4-y-o! May 29, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My 4-y-o son is completely obsessed with dinosaurs. I was concerned about the level of violence/gore in the program, but after watching one episode on cable with him and seeing that he was unaffected by it, I bought the series. Once we got past the "yes, dinosaurs ate one another" factor, I've been AMAZED by how quickly he's learning the real names (triceratops versus "three-horn" that he learned from THE LAND BEFORE TIME) and facts about the various prehistoric creatures. When he told me that "dimetrodon was the largest carnivore on Earth when he lived!" I just about fell over. He loves it. I'm delighted.
CHASED BY DINOSAURS is a "Crocodile Hunter" style integration of dinosaurs and the narrator running around the prehistoric landscape in a kind of high-tech LAND OF THE LOST. If anything, I'm a little bothered by the false impression that's making. But it's a lot of fun.
My only note of caution is that WALKING WITH MONSTERS is available as a separate DVD, and if you're used to seeing it as "Before the Dinosaurs" (the subtitle), it could be easy to do what I did and buy it separately, and end up with two copies. Both of which were immediately opened by an enthusiastic 4-y-o, so not returnable. Backup copies are good, though, for something this insanely popular at our house!
