Rating: - You've Lost the Light Brigade.
Even in its abused, neglected state (hence the four-star rating instead of five) Richardson's "Charge of the Light Brigade" is still a fantastic piece of cinema and a sadly overlooked classic in the same league as the wonderful "Oh, What a Lovely War". At a time when most modern young British directors regularly churn out terrible mockney gangster flicks, wet rom-coms or stagnant period dross it seems such a shame that this bold example of British cinema should suffer such a fate.

Rating: - A truly great film on a disappointing DVD
"They will not fight unless they are flogged to it. Would you ask that of them? Would you ask they fight like fiends of Hell for money? Or h'ideas? That would be unchristian."

The Charge of the Light Brigade is one of those films that disappointed me on a first viewing (like many, I was expecting an epic adventure film) but which I love more each time I see it.

Rating: - Do NOT buy this DVD!!
Tony Richardson's Charge Of the Light Brigade is a truly great movie in every regard.

Rating: - Charge of the Light Brigade
I would have given this 5 stars, had it not been for the fact that this film has been quite severely cut, with various scenes edited out from the original cinema release. This was presumably done to include the extra 28 minutes of 'extras' such as the irrelevant 1912 featurette. This is a great shame, as this film should have been shown in its entirety as it is a film deserving of recognition. A missed opportunity

Rating: - Disappointed fan
Was very sorry to see that this edition was not released in 5.1 format and no information was provided to say what kind of sound quality might be expected.
Surely we are to expect better in 2004. Otherwise the film is a classic and a cinematic treat for any light-hearted history buffs.
