Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Sean Bean plays Richard Sharpe - a poor common soldier raised from the ranks for saving Wellington's life. In this movie he risks all for honor and to secure a promotion. If you enjoy old fashioned adventure then you will love Sharpe's Eagle.

Summary: Almost Flawless
Review: The second in the venerable British ITV Sharpe series, and one of the best. Sean Bean is Richard Sharpe, a dashing, swashbuckling hero in the Napoleonic Wars. Or, as the UK television station UK Gold calls him, the "Nineteenth-Century James Bond". This one finds our hero under the command of - let's face it - a jerk of a commander, the cowardly Sir Henry Simmerson. Events transpire that convince Sharpe he must capture an Imperial Eagle, the standard of Napoleon's army, and touched by "Boney" himself. Of course, there's no shortage of lovely ladies, either, with Theresa (played by Assumpta Serna) and Josefina (Katia Caballero), a lady in a compromised position whom Sharpe gallantly rescues. The cast are quite enjoyable in this one, with Brian Cox as the conniving but genuninely nice Major Hogan, Daragh O'Malley as the loyal but fiery Sgt. Patrick Harper, and Michael Cochrane in a brilliant turn as the really, really, really *nasty* Henry Simmerson. And, of course, Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe - the quintessence of the swashbuckling but tender hero. Splendid stuff. Mel Gibson may have to ask What Women Want, but Sean Bean apparently knows...Richard Sharpe!

Summary: Another throroughly enjoyable grand adventure!
Review: The wonderful cast and story and the great settings and battles combine again in a tale of grand adventure woven around the character of British officer Richard Sharpe. Sean Bean, Asumpta Serna, Brian Cox and Daragh O'Malley create brilliantly alive characters that seem to belong to this time and place. The supporting players are all wonderful as well, particularly the very nasty villains. Hiss! This DVD has a chapter menu and not much else but the picture and sound are really good and the movie itself is a treat. Enjoy!
