George Lucas’ The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume Two, The War Years continues the extraordinary narrative, historical, and production achievements found in Volume One. As with the first series, each feature-length program (re-editing material from the original, one-hour broadcasts to smooth out the chronology of Jones’ experiences as a child and young man) resembles a theatrical experience more than episodic television. Each drama is remarkably rich in layered detail, shedding light on major events, figures, and ideas from a pivotal era in world history. Where Volume One largely focused on the early childhood of Indiana Jones as he traveled the world in the company of his parents, meeting the likes of Picasso, Tolstoy, Freud, and T.E. Lawrence, Volume Two is exclusively concerned with Jones’ experiences during World War I. This time, Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery, introduced in the final episodes of Volume One) is serving in the infantry of the Belgian army under an assumed name, eventually rising in rank from corporal to captain and becoming a spy after paying extensive, nightmarish dues on the war’s front line in Europe. The series captures some of the horror of World War I’s most infamous battles, directly inserting Jones into the thick of the action at Verdun, the Somme, the Middle East, and elsewhere. In time, Jones is repeatedly recruited to become a secret agent, going undercover in Austria to help forge a separate peace between the last Habsburg emperor and the allies, and playing a crucial part in the survival of British and Australian forces crossing a merciless desert. Along the way, Indy befriends Bolsheviks preparing for the Russian Revolution, has a romance with Mata Hari, attempts a prison break with Charles de Gaulle, and has a wonderful encounter with Albert Schweitzer. As with Volume One, this follow-up box set includes an astonishing number of excellent special features, primarily dynamic documentaries about many of the real-life people and incidents introduced in the stories. These extras provide much depth and analysis without being at all dry; a creative history teacher would do well to incorporate them (and, for that matter, the shows themselves) in a class about the 20th century. --Tom Keogh

Glad to have it, but not my favourite of the 3. TOOOOO much war - not enough of all that went on during that time beside war. Loved the 'spy' sequences......

Knowing that this presentation was made for tv, I expected something low budget and PBS like, along the lines of "Wishbone the Dog Presents All Quiet on the Western Front." Not at all. I find this series convincing and outstanding! The battle scenes are done as well as any hollywood flick. The acting is superb, and the scenery appears to have been filmed on location. Check out the extras, they are very well put together and informative about the subject material covered in their respective episode. ... Read More

I got caught up in the hype for Indy 4, so I brought these dvds when they were on special. I put on disc 1 and pretty much turned it off after 10 - 15 mins. I didnt like it. I had never seen the series before and it just wasnt what I was expecting.

IT IS A VERY ENTRETAINING MOVIE, WE LIKE TO WATCH IT WITH ALL THE FAMILY, SOME OF THEM ARE INTERESTING AND THE KIDS LEARNED HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY.

Why four out of five stars? Simply put, I paid a lot of money - these are pricey! (Definitely angry at the fact that the price dropped about $20 a week after I finally got around buying these...). All this aside, I absolutely love this series - I'm a huge Indy fan. Although some say the packaging is cheap (I disagree - really it's not that bad - any of you own the Sex and the City DVDs - that's cheap). There's 8 episodes (all about 2 hours long), loads of bonus features - for those history buffs -, ... Read More
