Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful series Comment: Being a huge fan of the books, I was sceptical about the films. Sharpe in the books is massive, scar on the face and black hair, with Harper even bigger. However after half the first movie, these issues were soon forgotten. The first movies you can tell were lower budget and not quite up to the standard of the others, but with good acting they got away with it. After the first 2, you see the budget increasing, and with this and a marvellous Hakeswill I really felt a whole new dimension to the novels. Especially at the new price, I highly recommend this series! Customer Rating: Summary: Five stars? Come on now... Comment: For those who haven't seen Sharpe, here is the general format: Sharpe gets one over some toffy, sideburned cliched red coat officer; a beautiful woman rides in, preferabley continental - Sharpe's honour dictates that he must protect her - for certainly she will at some point fall victim to an attempted rape; some whimsical irish singing is thrown in to humble us, must be accompanied by a fire and some alcohol (this is adult drama after all); Sharpe gets shot/beaten/a bit muddy but battles on through nonetheless because he's northern and tough; a no-grey-area villan - perhaps someone who talks to his mother through a hat - will pose a threat to our hero and, even better, the beautiful foreign girl; more singing; some combat - Sharpe's riffle men reign supreme, with a joke and smug experession everything's possible, they show the rest of the lads how it's done; Having overcome the hardships of war, Sharpe and his men find themselves on some gloaming landscape - end by trudging off into the sunset, putting the past behind them and looking onward to a new day, and innevitabley a new episode, unfortunatley. It's entertaining, true, and Sean Bean provides and decent, and needless to say very sexy lead, but seriously, this is just populist tripe. It's all seedy characatures, violence and overblown heroics. Watch Hornblower, so much better. Customer Rating: Summary: I love Sharpe!! Comment: My boyfriend has all the books and a couple of the DVDs. I thought it wouldn't be my thing at all cos not into history or war but after watching his DVD got totally hooked and bought the box set!! Think it is totally entertaining and wish there was more to watch. Great hangover watching. Customer Rating: Summary: Wot no map & booklet Comment: Please note that this box set NO longer includes the MAP or the BOOKLET, just the bonus disc, it must be down to cost, which is a shame. The series is as good as ever, but my rating is only 4 stars because of the now missing map & booklet.Sharpe - The Complete Series (15 Disc Box Set) Customer Rating: Summary: 5 star boxset Comment: didnt watch sharpe the first time round but have watched a few episodes recently on uk tv history so i went for the 15 disc box set its a fantastic price for the amount of dvd's you get so far ive watched 5 episodes and theve been thoroughly enjoyable great acting storys scenery and battle scenes hope the rest of the episodes are as good the picture and sound quality are fantastic on both my samsung blue-ray player and samsung f1080 xeu upscailing dvd player one of the best dvd purchases ive made this year More Reviews
