No Challenge for Sharpe
Review of Sharpe's Challenge DVD by demonbarak

Advantages: Superbly shot, great casting
Disadvantages: none really!

I have to admit, i was absolutely gutted when this came out. I'd just spent a small fortune on the boxset. On the other hand, I was chuffed to bits, sharpe was back! It'd been a long time since Sean Bean had donned that uniform, and it shows - though it fits in perfectly with the storyline. The storyline is loosely based on the book "Sharpes Fortress" - the last of the Sharpe in India series. In Challenge, Sharpe returns to India as a retired ...
...gets himself involved with the Incompetent Simmerson (the most hated of sharpes enemies!) and ends up posing as a redcoat deserter, to rescue the ailing generals daughter and save the day - though things go terribly wrong when a captured sargeant gives Sharpe and Harper away - and as always with Sharpe, death, mass explosions and screaming charges ensue! Despite the fact that over a decade had passed between waterloo and challenge, Sean Bean and ... Read review

King George commands and we obey
Review of Sharpe's Rifles / Sharpe's Eagle DVD by Secre

Advantages: Everything - plot, characters, acting, literally everything
Disadvantages: Nothing...if I'm pushed I could possibly say that they are long for single episodes.

...is the first chronological film, Sharpe's Rifles is not the first chronological novel, which would be Sharpe's Tiger when he starts as a private, but the events described in that book are placed much later in the TV show.

...period is quite extraordinary. Both Sharpe's Rifles and Sharpe's Eagle are set in 1809, and with both of these two episodes the book and the episode are very similar, with only slight differences. The knowledge of the period is not however only limited to the battles and events, but a very in depth knowledge of how the army in that period worked, and how the weapons were used, including the difference between rifles and muskets which I had never ...

Sharpes Rifles
Review of Sharpe's Rifles DVD by strawbs1

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: None

I haven't read the book this DVD is taken from but I have however seen most if not all of the Sharpe series on the Television and I also have a few of the full length VHS tapes. Its the same old subject matter to any great film, book or series, an action hero who is not perfect but always manages to get the girl in end. I like the historical aspects of the series and agree that the scenes are very well shot and the story lines are brilliant. I really ... Read review

Advantages: Stunning visuals
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit long

...by terrorists and manages to escape using a very crude iron suit, and the story goes on from there really. What really sells the movie are the special effects. The suits are superbly developed and look fantastic. This movie is well worth the purchase and will keep you entertained throughout. ... Read review
