excellently filmed story on lions of the water.

Rating: 5
the lions presented in this film ARE different than your open plains lions... these lions have a much larger built chest due to hunting in the shallow waters... building muscles that open plain lions would not. the story in this DVD is excellent as well.. and as it is in real life for lions.. it is not always happy times... there are sad times as well.. and these times are captured in this dvd..
buy this dvd.. it is worth it.. it is... lions

0 for BGM/5 for fighting.

The documentary is great. Sound and picture quality is superb. They even have helicopter shots. The only downside is the music. It is so gay I have to lower the volume down when it starts playing.

Awesome DVD - Graphic Lion vs Buffalo Action.

Rating: 5
This is one of the best lion documentaries I have ever seen, the Jouberts have done it again. Several giant-sized powerfully built lionesses have specialized in hunting buffalo, massive bulls and newborn calves alike. The buffalo are equally dangerous defending their own. If you enjoy real world wildlife battles as opposed to fake, computer generated conflict this film is for you. The notorious hyenas make a cameo appearance but the lions aren't all that concerned about them. The angry faces of the lionesses are hilarious at times. And a dark side of lion life is exposed.

The commentary can be turgid and overwrought, but the cinematography is superb and the music complements the action well.

Lions stick to Buffalos like flies to, you know..

Rating: 1
It was a good document but i don't like the fact when the Lions act calm and resting next to the Buffalos acting like good neighbors only when they not hungry.Buffalos are sick of Lions ,they figure Lions need to get a life or hunt something else.My favorite scene was the battle of 2 male Lions against one male Lion,that was cool,braveheart.

CLASSICAL MUSIC FOR THE LIONS IN ACTION?.

Rating: 4
I don't know how ridiculous it can get using classical type of music in the program for wild wild lion action. The next thing you know is that they'll have Placido Domingo sing to the graphic killing scenes of lions eating a buffalo alive in these wild action programs.
