i be feel guilty now . the comment i post about sharpe battle before wasn not objective . it be taint by lust . i do not want to get a bad rep and so here an objective comment and in context and for people who care about the quality of what they watch rather than just about the actor look . sharpe battle do have a lot of strength . for one thing and the dialogue good . in other sharpe film and such a sharpe sword and there something a bit fake about the interaction between the character and but in battle it much more convincing . there also some really gritty fighting and particularly in the town towards the end . sharpe fight with loup be excellent and although i do agree with another review i read somewhere here in that the expression of the character when they hate each other have echo of lust as well . perhaps we could draw a lot into this about how love hurt . be over forty year old and still not know that much about love in the true sense of the word and i will refrain from stereotype what i do not understand . the problem with battle and in my opinion and be loup himself . he not a villain on the same scale a some of the one we see around . sure and he try to be evil and but he just end up be vaguely annoy . oh and and why doesn not he attack sharpe sooner . surely he realise that he have him by the ball most of the time . my score of positive stand and but hopefully i have explain it a bit well now .
