I found this to be a very enjoyable quick paced look at the past. I liked it quite a bit.
★★ · More Ford, Less Fun · Spuzz · 2003-09-29
This is actually quite a let down from part I in the series, as this has um, narration. I kind of liked the no-narrative flow of images in the first one, ya know? Anyways, this is a bit of a histroy to Ford's involvement in WWI. Funny Moment: When narrator's quick closure of the war by saying "then, it ended"
