Movie Reviews of Sharpe's Challenge
Movie Review: A challenge
Summary: 3 Stars
I obtained the USA release of this Sharpe film in the hope that it did not contain the same annoying feature as the UK release. Namely without warning "next time" appears on screen, giving a brief rundown on what we are about to watch in the second half, something that has never happened in the previous Sharpe adventures on DVD. I ordered from the US thinking that the BBC & American distributors would not have allowed this to happen with this release. Incidentally I had written to the UK producers of this DVD twice without getting any reply.
Having said all this, this is another great adventure with Sean and Daragh giving their usual superb performances as the two leads. The villians are great, the only regret is that this is condensed from three of Bernard Cornwall's books, which reduces the chance of seeing Sharpe on screen. I can only hope that Sean & co. will make other appearances in Sharpe's adventures.
Movie Review: Sharpe's Challenge
Summary: 3 Stars
It is okay. It lacked a sense of adventure. Perhaps the actors are tired of the parts but somehow it just wasn't all that good. The fight scenes just didn't seem convincing.
As a fan of the Sharpe books and past videos (I have them all), I wish I had seen it on TV because I probably would not have purchased it.
The added features are interesting. The making of the video in particular. But, if you are a fan, you should purchase it for your collection. It is not all that bad just not that good.
Movie Review: too many unnesessary violent scenes do not make a film realistic !
Summary: 3 Stars
The actors are excellent ,I like the story,the locations but did not like the too violent scenes:people beheaded,tortures...unnecessary ,it does not add anything to the story it only makes me NOT wanting to watch it again !!!I wish I could return it ! Keep it only because of TOBY STEPHENS !Movie Review: Sharpe's Challenge

While I am a fan of all the Sharpe series both written and DVD, I have to say that this composite from several books in the India phase of Sharpe's career is not of the same standard. I feel that there could have been more continuity if more of the detail had been added.Movie Review: Old works better
Summary: 3 Stars
The new fill in the blank books do not seem to be written with the same attention to detail as the original series. It seems more a way to gain more cash from the cash cow series.
