I'd have given it a five star if it had a decent ending - there was no conclusion, no resolution to anything, or else the conclusion was just stupid. Are you sure there isn't a part II, Blockbuster?? I think there MUST be - nothing in the story resolved - did they build the steam engine for the new mine, did the mine receive success, did the village recover, who did Clowance decide upon as a suitor? Come on, there MUST be a second disc!

I am so glad that I am not the only one who thought the ending was abrupt! I agree, there must be a second disc! But I did like the stroy and the acting was great. Nice to see some of Ioan Gruffudd's early work.
