Advantages: One of it's kind, the best of it's kind
Disadvantages: Special effects not brilliant

...set comes with the complete Sharpe series that have been released on DVD, bar the latest adventure in India, which I believe was released after this box set, so you can't really blame them. In the box set I got, there was a free map of 'Sharpe's battles', a good thing for any Sharpe fan I'm sure. Also you get a 'chronicles booklet' which is basically a fans guide to behind the scenes Sharpe and actors profiles. Now, for those who have never watched ...

Advantages: The whole season in one set! Thrilling and exciting
Disadvantages: Waiting for Season 5

To buy this DVD collection you must have seen Season 3 and it takes off with a bang! The episodes are thrilling and all relate to one another building up to a season that ends in a super climax. Clark's character develops even more than in previous seasons and the introduction of Lois Lane may leave some Superman fans bemused, but she lifts the action packed season to another level. The episodes gives you the everything from action, mystery, romance, ...
...the DVD set are average with commentary for only three episodes and the only problem with the DVD set is the audio encryption is 2.0 and should really be 5.1, especially for the small moments of high packed action. This though, does not make me enjoy such an excellent DVD set any less and leaves me waiting for Season 5. It is definitely worth the buy for all Superman fans and especially those who enjoy the TV series. ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent storyline and special effects, Well developed characters
Disadvantages: Tendency to rabble, nationalist humour

...for the past few years. Ultimate force plays well of the auora of mystery that surrounds the SAS. Although the dialouge does start to drift into the usual technical-jargon banter that occurs during this genre of television it more than makes up for it with its stunning special effects and deeply involved storyline that hooks in the viewer right from the start. A must for fans of any action or sci-fi series produced in the past or any ex-millitary ...
...value rather than acting as padding to make up for a mediocre ammount /quality of work. Due to its nature if you are of US origin i would advise against a purchase unless you have a good sense of humour as they play off american faults with sything british humour. ... Read review

Advantages: 17 Academy Awards and 247 other awards - say no more
Disadvantages: You may forget to eat!

...out there who have spent the last ten years holed up in a cave without any contact with the outside world then you probably don't know that Tolkien's mammoth book was eventually turned into three mammoth movies. The rest of us are split into two groups - those that probably want the film shown at their funeral and those that want it burned/buried instead of them at their funeral. The box-set contains all three pieces that make up the Lord of the ...

He is a really evil bloke who you see for the first five minutes at the start of the first film. ... Read review

Advantages: lots of extras
Disadvantages: series starts to get confusing

As it turns out, America thought that this series was rather successful enough for a 3rd season to be aired (a 6th is currently being aired as I type, if I am correct). Now, don't get me wrong, I like the idea of exploring the idea behind Superman, as he was younger, that is, BEFORE he decided to be Superman. As a TV series, it does stand out, as being one with a little more thought put into the storylines and emotions of the characters in the ...
...screwing up the show. This season starts where Clark was in Metropolis, having run away from home, feeling guilty about his adopted mother's miscarriage. In the last season, we learn that there is also red kryptonite, which makes Clark act as though he was on drugs. Well, when he had an attack of guilty-conscience, he put on a high school ring, in which was embedded a piece of this red kryptonite, and heads for Metropolis, where he has no conscience, ...
