    I love this movie so much

    This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

    The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    "Amazon" is one of my favorite series. I was shocked when they canceled this awesome TV show. It had a great story line and the acting was wonderful. Not to mention the fact that jungle atmosphere looked so realistic. I'm sure, this series inspired Lost in many aspects but I still prefer 'Amazon'.The final episode was kind of weird but I guess, they just planned to make season 2.C.Thomas Howell, Fabiana Udenio, Carol Alt, Chris Martin and other actors did a great job here."Amazon" should have been a big HIT!!!

    This is the first time that Peter Benchley has disappointed me. Before watching the first episodes of Amazon, I read the synopsis and thought that it was very unoriginal but gave it a chance because of the great work Peter Benchley has done in the past. I made a mistake in watching it! Recently released "Lost" and "Flight Of The Phoenix", while good in themselves, are very unoriginal and based off one another. "Amazon" is a direct copy of these shows. Personally I am getting tired of movie makers making movies and TV Series based on the same ideas as ones recently released. It's comparable to a bad fashion trend. You dislike it but everyone does it anyway. The bad casting and horrifically obvious fake sets don't add to the tragic mediocrity of this complete DISASTER OF A SERIES!!!!!

    Peter Benchley's Amazon was out of place, lost on television. Stranded in the jungle of do-anything-for-ratings it was a beautiful haunting opera lost on the astonished savages, singing its epic of homelessness in the pouring rain. Thus cancellation after one brief brilliant amazing season. The darkness comprehended it not. The words have been lost.To understand Amazon you must first live it. You have to be a member of the Ghost Tribe when holy war comes before you can wonder who are the savages. You have to be a man dying of middle age before the spell of Prudence can save your life. You have to be the son of missionaries to know what it means to be a child of promise. You have to be homeless to want to go home.The Amazon is a place of life and death, an exuberant burst of biology, a cathedral of divine survival. The lost meaning of Amazon can be discovered in the study of biology, and in the peculiar biology of the human mind, that wilderness of light and darkness and survival where the words infect, spread, become lost, and finally turn up in the arms of the person who is holding the arms.Congratulations to everyone who was involved in the show for a job very well done!

    I didn't like this show at first, but I like C. Thomas Howell & Carol Alt so stuck with it. I didn't think this show could go anywhere stuck in the jungle with the same few people, but they've introduced some new exciting characters. And not just natives - but a real mystery of a people calling themselves the 'Chose Ones'. Peter Benchly and the writing staff are really starting to get things interesting. The Chosen Ones and Heathens upcoming war should be worth tuning in to.If you're looking for an entertaining 'guilty pleasure' show, check out 'Amazon'. It's not going to win any Emmys, but it does what it sets out to do. It's my #1 'guily pleasure'!
