I was surprised at how fast I recieved this movie and the quality of it since this was my first purchase on amazon.com. I am very happy with both and will buy more in the future. Please convey my thanks to the shipper.

I read the novel, bought the DVD. Both a rousing adventure yarn.
Even better is Noble House which is a page turner

Tai-pan is perhaps my favorite novel, and the movie just doesn't measure up. If you haven't read the novel, you're not going to have a clue what's going on. Changes to the novel's storyline make this hard to follow, and all the condensing needed to reduce a major novel to under two hours of film left out much of the meat of the story. Would be have been far better made into a mini-series, a la another Clavell novel, 'Shogun.'

Brian Brown did an excellent job breathing life into the title character, despite the limitations of the script. His performance is one of the few bright spots of the film.

Bottom line, the film could have been much better. But even with the myriad flaws, I still enjoyed watching this Clavell treasure come alive.
