if america only know how good this be and it would be the high rat make for tv movie series of all time ( hard to believe there be more people out there that would rather watch the columbo mystery than bernard cornwell sharpe chronicle that just go to show the power of major network name brand advertising . the richard sharpe movie series have be television at it fine . i have see all of the bbc sharpe series movie and sharpe waterloo be my favorite of the film . however i tune in to pbs everytime they air the sharpe movie . so far all the movie have be base on the sharpe chronicle adventure novel write by bernard cornwell ( the same author who write rebel ) . each movie chronicle the on go adventure of richard sharpe who be a brittish lt. in the brittish military during the late 1790 to early 1800 during the napoleonic era in europe . i sincerly believe that each one of these film have be good enough to have show at the movie theater and if the producer have want to . unlike other make for tv film and the hornblower film do not have that make for tv feeling to them and like most television movie have . however each of the sharpe movie pick up exactly where the last one leave off . the only negative thing i can say about this movie series be the use of an electric guitar a the background music i have to take point off for that and because the sometimes screech guitar noise can become annoy at time . a common misconception that people who havent see these movie have be that all of these film go to gether a a mini series that be not true . the sharpe movie be not a mini series and all of these film be individual movie about the same charactor and however they be sequel to each other each pick up where the last film leave off . with all the same actor play the same role in each film ( example representthink of the james bond film that same principle applies to the sharpe movie and but unlike bond and the sharpe film be sequel ) if you have see the sharpe movie and you like them and you wish to see more similar theme programing and i will suggest a and e horatio hornblower movie ( 6 movie in all same basic priciple a the sharpe movie except hornblower be in the brittish navy to whereas sharpe be a ground soldier ) i give the entire sharpe movie series 4 out of 5 star . it near perfect entertainment but you cant please everyone and so for those of you dont like epic napoleonic era battle and classic historic style drama and high stake adventure and and danger on the european battlefield and if you dont like stuff like that there be always a columbo re run for you to watch .
