DVD Reviews of The Four Feathers (Full Screen Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: Just for Heath
Summary: 3 Stars
Four Feathers has had many incarnations in literature and film. Despite a first rate cast and some lush cinematography I found some glaring problems that really disputed the film for me. On the eve of being shipped out to war int he Sudan Heath(very good) resigns his commission in the army and his friends and fiancee send him 4 white feathers which is the sign of cowardice and they abandon him. Heath resigns because he is scared, but then all of a sudden he goes off to the Sudan on his own not to rejoin the army, but to save his friends which I guess he knew would need saving. The battle and retreat will throw off anyone familiar with military tactics and reason. I also disliked the ending with Kate Hudson, but I won't spoil it for those who have not seen the film.DVD Review: Four Feathers - DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Love this movie. Searched to buy it. Found it at Amazon.com and ordered. Was shipped within couple of days. The DVD arrived within couple of days after shipped. Quality was good. Enjoyed watching it couple of times already. Glad to add it to my collection. Best part of all....this DVD was about half the price of a new DVD at the store. At this rate, I can add several more DVD movies to my collection....Hooray for Amazon.com.DVD Review: A movie worth watching
Summary: 4 Stars
Four Feathers brings to the screen the story of a young British officer who resigns his commission prior to being sent Africa due to cowardice. The setting is Victorian England, and a group of young promising British officers is about to be sent to the Sudan to help quell an uprising by the unruly natives. One officer, however, who fears that he will not live to marry his fianc?e walks out on his job, his friends, and his family for a future with his beloved. When he receives four feathers as a sign of cowardice, he is forced to reconsider his plans, particularly, in light of the fourth feather being from his soon-to-be wife...
Heath Ledger and the rest of the cast carry out their performances well, nevertheless, it is Djimon Hounsou that steals the show. On the down side, Kate Hudson and the character she played were not that good or interesting for that matter.
Overall, the setting (!), the dialogues, the costumes (!), and the music are all very good.
In short, Four Feathers is a film worth watching as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment.
DVD Review: Lovely movie

Description of The Four Feathers (Full Screen Collector's Edition)
SET IN LATE-19TH-CENTURY ENGLAND, A SOLDIER RESIGNS FROM HISDUTIES ON THE EVE OF A BATTLE WITH SUDAN. HIS FIANCEE AND THREE FRIENDS SEND HIM THE TITULAR FEATHERS, WHICH REPRESENTS A COWARDICE.WHAT HIS LOVED ONES DIDN'T KNOW IS THE SOLDIER HADCHANGED HIS MIND AND TRAVELED NORTH TO HELP HIS REGIMENT.The seventh filming of A.E.W. Mason's classic 1902 novel, this near-epic production of The Four Feathers looks great, sounds great, and feels rather average. It would be difficult to diminish the rousing adventure of Mason's novel, and director Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) certainly gets more bang for his buck, with massive battle scenes and rugged, sun-baked harshness enhanced by Robert Richardson's masterful cinematography. Kapur preserves the universal appeal of the story, set in the 1880s, in which a promising soldier (Heath Ledger) resigns on the eve of battle in Britain's Sudanese campaign, is labeled a coward by his fianc?e (Kate Hudson), and redeems himself by posing as a Muslim warrior to rescue his best friend Jack (Wes Bentley) from certain death in the desert. For all its heroics, however, the film seems oddly passionless; Djimon Hounsou is excellent as Ledger's desert guardian, but these young Hollywood stars lack the authenticity of Zoltan Korda's 1939 film, which remains the definitive version. --Jeff Shannon
