That was an excellent one.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

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

Anthony is a good host. I don't care that he praises all the food everywhere; I'm not depending on his review of the food anyway. What I'm really looking for is the thrill of adventure and Anthony's acerbic wit as he explores the places. Unfortunately, he mainly ends up spending most of his time with expat restaurant-ers instead of spending more time with the locals. I don't want to know what an expat thinks of the local cuisine or politics! I don't want to see where he takes you. I'd rather they did some research and got in touch with locals who could show them around. Also, lose the rockstar image and terrible background score, please?

Most Asian places featured so far (Vietnam, Singapore, Shanghi) consume copious amounts of dog meat. I guess CNN thinks that most Americans would find this so disgusting that they would turn it off. Tony has made it clear that he has no moral problems with eating anything that moves or moved and has no problem with how the animal was kept before being slaughtered. He is into maximum taste. Nothing else matters. My point is that if the shows purports to give an overview of popular local cuisine, it should include dog meat and show how the dogs are tortured before being skinned alive. This is what you witness in Vietnam, not nice happy chefs butchering a pig that was killed humanely.

After travelling with Mr. Bourdain over many incarnations of hosting world wide adventures, I find this CNN production most educational and entertaining. This is no amateur travel program folks, the visuals, directing, and script are top notch. I admire Tony's schmaltz, disdainful and acerbic attitude as well as his handsome good looks. His long history as a wild and crazy New York City Chef adds a deep introspective and much needed levity within war torn, economically challenged, hidden parts of the world.I never fail to latch on to his desire for adventure and take away the sense of having travelled to distant parts without the jet lag, hangovers and filming frustrations.High recommend for action, adventure, culture, and culinary excitation!

Chef Anthony Bourdain travels the world sampling food, seeing different cultures, and having a few drinks on CNN's dime.The biggest problem of this show is that I can't buy Bourdain's review of the food. Sometimes the food looks really good, but it's impossible to rely on Anthony's tastes. Apparently he loves everything. I don't think he has said a bad word about any thing he has eaten. That can't be right.There is the travelogue part of the show. I'm always a sucker for that. The show works best when he goes to someplace unusual. I still remember the Libya show. That was crazy. Sometimes it's boring like Vegas.Then there is the social commentary from Anthony. Sometimes it's interesting, but most of the times, it's tiresome. I don't particular find it that enlightening like the Mexico show. He tells us that there is drug violence in Mexico. Color me shocked.This show has some good points. Bourdain is always up for anything. There is some interesting food happening. And they are usually away from the tourist traps which is interesting. However some of it does get boring especially if he gets preachy.
