Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very disappointing...
After reading the book I was extremely disappointed by this poor attempt. I had the 'bad joss' of actually buying the dvd after reading the book. If you hadn't read the book the film would be truly incomprehensible, and if you read the book you would feel a tremendous void. As many other reviewers have said, Taipan needs to be reincarnated as a mini-series of some sort to afford it proper treatment.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Tai Pan/Noble House
Tai Pan is more than a chick flick or criticzing of Bryan Brown. It is a prelude to a very good mini series: Noble house! If you haven't seen Noble House you have missed an excellent journey thru banking & financing in the power people. P. Brosnan is the supreme smooth talker. Lots of intrigue & dirty tricks. If you haven't seen this one order it from Amazon!!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DANGER......DANGER Tai Pan fans
If you haven't read the book don't even think about watching this movie. If you have read the book be prepared to be disappointed.

Bryan Brown was terrible as Dirk Straun (and I don't mean just the accent), can anyone who read the book picture Kyra Sedgwick as "Hag" Straun (not even close), Janine Turner is wasted as Shevaun (did she say three sentences in the whole movie?), and Captain Orlov is straight out of comic book central casting, just to name a few atrocities!

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad at all despite compressed plot
Admittedly, this is much less of a movie than Tai-Pan is of a book. But the book is a giant among books, and the show is still a good show. Those who have read the book, rather than savaging it for its divergence from the book (which, in any case, would require a mini-series to do its layering and complexity justice, not a 2-hour show) should treat it as a kind of visual accompaniment to the story - good casting, good handling of some powerful scenes. Alright, they were much more powerful in the ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - many great moments
I agree with most reviewers that too much was cut out of the story. I would love to see a much longer miniseries treatment, too. But, Brock and his son were almost exactly as I had pictured them. And, the scene where Dirk has his men remove the tent to reveal the taels of silver is priceless. And also, the moment when Culum returns Brock's gold sovereigns with the admonition to "buy yourself a coffin" is great. I liked Bryan Brown in the role of Dirk (to be perfectly honest, I don't come into contact ... Read More
