Fast-moving, hard-hitting adventure, Sharpe brings to the screen all the danger, romance and sheer spectacle of one of the bloodiest periods in English warfare.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A little weak in the casting
The only disappointment I had was with the actress who plays Lucille. She looked too coy to me. I would have thought someone more like Theresa would have been more in line with the character. In the books Lucille is a much stronger woman. However, as in the books, Sharpe is always a dim bulb when it comes to women. Too bad Theresa couldn't come back somehow.
Rating:  - Richard Sharpe.
Although Sharpe is like an early day six million dollar man with more lead in his body than is in an armament this is a don't miss series. We originally watched each episode on BBC America and would recommend the entire series so much so that we bought the dvd's and have watched each episode over and will do so again. There are some truly memorable individuals, but the one that stands out for me is the grizzly old sargeant that is played to perfection in the early episodes by Pete Postlethwaite. ... Read More
Rating: - Razer Sharpe!
Sean Bean does it again. Playing Richard Sharpe of his majesty's 95th rifles. Sharpe comes forth again in this rich story of love, betrayal and swashbucking action. I enjoyed the earlier Sharpe series that was shown on PBS and again on the history channel. Unfortunately not all were ever shown on American TV.
This one does not disappoint his fans. A must have!!!
Rating: - Bet you thought the end of the war would be a good thing
Okay, it took me a while to recognize that the character of Rossendale was being played by Alexis Denisof a.k.a. Wesley Wyndham-Pryce from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." But the twists of "Sharpe's Revenge," the twelfth of the fourteen adventures of Bernard Cornwell's maverick British officer from the Napoleonic War, were such that I was surprised that Rossendale turns out to be more than a minor character. We have been waiting for the war to be over, but it turns out the defeat of Napoleon ... Read More
Rating: - Not bad, but it was bizarre in places
Pierre Ducos, like Count Dracula seems to be indestructable. He keeps comming back for more and Sharpe doesn't hesitate to dish it out.
Based on real incidents, SHARPE'S REVENGE has a good plot, but towards the end it becomes a bit bizarre. Some of the acting is really too funny to be taken seriously. The character of Gaston, personal aide to General Calvert reminds me more of a clown, than a trusted servant. He has a few more lines than in other Sharpe films. At times his performance is more like ... Read More
