...these words, the knights of King Arthur immigrants speak of England, which is the great protagonist of this film. The filming of endless green fields, snow-covered woods or a vast frozen lake, are certainly crucial to immerse themselves in the epic story that the film tells us. The narrative unfolds between battles and imposing crisis idealistic characters, all seasoned with a new historical supposition about the origins and life of the legendary ... 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

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

What a film!!!!!!!!
Review of Sin City DVD by nathan_jones69247

Advantages: great watch
Disadvantages: very dark

An absolutely great movie. This movie was awesome from the word go. It's got a very atmospheric feel and all the characters in the film are great. The film is made up of a few short stories kinda like pulp fiction. It's a very graphic and violent movie based on the underworld and its comic book picturisation creates a great atmosphere. Micky Rourke in my opinion give the best performance of his career, even though he was only in it for around 30 ... Read review
