Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Maybe the best
I previously skipped over Sharpe's Eagle-the second in the BBC's television adaptations from the novels by Bernard Cornwell- because I was reading the book. The first Sharpe novel by Cornwell, Eagle is a fine historical work. Surprisingly, the TV adaptation does the written word justice.

When we first meet Richard Sharpe in the Eagle novel, he's a lieutenant raised from the ranks after rescuing Wellington years before in India. Sharpe is a scarred and rough soldier, originally a member ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Movie highlights the broad themes of Cornwell's book, if missing the details
"Sharpe's Eagle" is the second in the British TV adaptations of Bernard Cornwell's colossal Richard Sharpe series of novels. It is a more polished episode than the kick-off film, "Sharpe's Rifles," but only slightly more so. This was essentially an extended TV series, and one with a fraction of the budget of an American blockbuster such as "Lost," much less a major miniseries like "Band of Brothers."

So if you want to be a snob, there is plenty to snicker at in "Sharpe's Eagle." Sharpe ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My Favorite TV Series
I own the entire Sharpe series on VHS but this is the only episode I have on DVD, and it is one of the best. (Incidentally, I don't understand all the complaining about the quality of the DVD and the lack of grandiose battle scenes--I have no complaints with either the quality of the DVD or the fact that the battles are on a relatively small scale. As to the last, this was a TV series, after all, and the point, as I see it , is the study of the central character, Sharpe.)This is a beautifully done series, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - True, this is character over spectacle, but characters count
Granted, the budget on these television movies is such that the spectacle of battles during the Napoleonic War are reduced to dozens of soldiers on each side rather than massed formations of thousands of troops. But if these adaptations of Bernard Cornwell's novels were given the big screen treatment so that the battles sequences met our expectations we would certainly not be in double-figures with regards to the number of movies made to date. Consequently, "Sharpe's Eagle," the second in the series (but ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointing to fans of the books
I am a big fan of Bernard Cornwell's series of Sharpe books. While I enjoy these DVDs, they do not measure up to the books. The most disappointing part of these DVDs are the battle scenes. Cornwell's books are centered on the battles. The battle's in these DVDs are small, low budget affairs with about 100 soldiers on each side, not the grand spectacle that is demanded.
