Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Kirpianuscus or just fascinating. because it has splendid photograph, realistic atmosphere and Ken Marshall does a credible Marco Polo. the image of Kublai Khan, who reminds his classic portrait, the dialog and adventures and magic of an Orient who is mixture of fairy tale and fights for power, influence and seduction are the key for the success of the series. a film who remains important for me for discover a man and his book about a land who transforms the image about itself of the Europeans. a series who has the gift to seduce for its smart science to use historical facts in a movie about values and trip in an exotic culture. collision between Europe and Orient, it remains, more than artistic product, support for reflection.

Billyjhobbs Unfortunatetly, after the initial television run in 1982 this excellent mini-series has been shelved. Too bad. Combining much of what we know of Marco Polo and his trips to the Far East with some interesting and worthwhile Hollywood additions, this series makes for mesmerizing viewing. I would LOVE to see it again. And again. Any leads on its commercial future are, indeed, welcomed.It's always good to see cameo performances by established stars and this version of a historical wonder-man is no exception (Gielgud, Bancroft, McShane, Lancaster, to name a few). The over-all casting deserves high marks, especially the role of Marco (young and older). Filled with humor, pathos, excitement, and welcomed verisimilitude, this is a series that deserves to be re-run.

glengourlay For those movie lovers that like a very interesting story, a built-in travel log of exotic locations, interesting characters, and an appreciation for history -- this movie must be seen. The movie presents the story of Marco Polo as a young man, accompanying his father and uncle into China, and their adventures in such a journey and their experiences. As you watch the movie you are moved out of the present day to ancient days, around 1271 when Europe was still isolated from the Far East and dominated by the Roman Catholic church. This outstanding movie, to my knowledge, has not received the recognition it deserves. As you watch it, it transcends you from the present day to a gripping story about ancient days.

malinflood I saw this mini series when it was broadcasted in Sweden 1982. It made an enormous impact on me, and ever since then I have been fascinated by China and its history. It is actually thanks to that series that I now work and live in Hong Kong.Even though I was rather young when I saw it on TV, I remember the autencity, the detailed surroundings, the beatiful photo, the great actors and much more that made me eager to know more.
