- Another good Sharpe

Yes I'm still reviewing Sharpe. For fans of the Napoleonic-heck even Jane Austen fans-the series again serves up action, romance, and intrigue in 1994's Sharpe's Honour.

Sean Bean returns as Major Richard Sharpe, but he is abruptly stripped of his rank and court marshaled for allegedly murdering a noble Frenchman and assaulting his wife, the Marquesa (Alice Kringe, Star Trek: First Contact). With the help of Sergeant Harper (Daragh O'Malley) and the Chosen Men of the 95th Rifles, Sharpe must rescue the Marquesa to prove his innocence while uncovering the latest plot hatched by French Master Spy Pierre Ducos (Feodor Atkine).

I don't want to spoil anything, but I fell for the twist on my first viewing of this the fifth Sharpe movie. I kept thinking of Han Solo's infamous words-how was Sharpe going to get out of this one? Bernard Cornwell's source material gives writer Colin MacDonald ... Read More

- Excellent entertainment!
In spite of a lifelong fascination with history, I have never had much interest in the Napoleanic era, or the Napoleanic Wars--until I started watching this series. Now we own the entire set, and are acquiring the books on which it is based as rapidly as we can. That alone should indicate how high my opinion of these films is.

If you've read the books, you will find that the timeline has been altered for the movies--but I doubt you will be disappointed. In my opinion, this entire series is one of the best adaptations of book to movie that has ever been done. Both mediums remain emminently enjoyable, and I cannot say that "the books are better than the movies" or "the movie is better than the books." They are entirely complimentary

If you liked Horatio Hornblower and Master and Commander, you will almost certainly enjoy these. Highly recommended!

- British TV series continues apace with "Sharpe's Honour"
Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe novels are among the most beloved stories in historical fiction. Cornwell, a Brit living in America, has captivated fans in his native and adopted homelands with the heroic tales of Sharpe, gutter trash raised from the ranks by Wellington to become a critical officer during the Napoleonic Wars.

The TV adaptations are slightly askew from the novels, but that's no surprise. By the outset of "Sharpe's Honour," Sharpe's beloved wife Teresa, the "Needle" who killed so many Frenchmen, is dead. Sharpe (Sean Bean) grieves, even as Sergeant Harper looks to become a father for the first time.

The French care not for Sharpe's woes, and Major Ducos - Sharpe's sworn enemy - thirsts for revenge. (Napoleon himself wants to see Sharpe ruined!) Ducos convinces the beautiful wife of a Spanish colonel to write a false letter accusing Sharpe of rape, hoping to simultaneously ... Read More

- Sharpe's Honor
Being enthralled with the Sharpe series, I have really nothing negative to say about any of the installments. Sharpe's Honour is no different. Following the tragic "Sharpe's Enemey", "..Honor finds Sharpe further put upon by having to restore his tarnished reputation, thanks to a frame-up by his nemesis, Ducos. It's a rousing story, told well, filmed well. The two amusing things of notice is Sharpe's chosen men start to dwindle ridiculously low and This epsiode marks the beginning of the "Love interest of the week" scenerio that will continue in the following stories. Nevertheless, it's a great poignant episode in the series and a must have for any Sharpe collector.
