what could be good than spending another 2 plus hour in the company of two of tv great hero and sharpe and harper . sean bean and daragh omalley look a little the bad for wear and but their chemistry be still work and there be plenty of swashbuckling afoot in this indian adventure . the scenery be magnificent ( i be so glad they do not try to film it and let say and in the ukraine . ) and the cast be first rate . this new sharpe have all the ingredient that make it predecessor so enjoyable to watch . and since they have obviously throw more money at this one it look well . ( for instance and a lot more extra be use in battle scene than be use to see in early installment . ) at the risk of be call a purist or an obsessive ( word already bandy about in this forum ) and i have to say i be disappoint that be probably never go to get to see cornwell three sharpe indian novel present a they be write . of course and i realize there be many change make in the early episode and but here be a couple of reason why represent 1. the three indian book give u a good look at the very young sharpe and the formation of his character . but that would require another ( young ) actor and which the producer realize would diminish their audience . 2. we miss the wonderful situation involve the young ( er ) hakeswill and play so marvelously by pete postlethwaite in early episode . the indian book let u revel in sharpe personal battle with this demented enemy . the producer have to come up with about four villain in sharpes challenge to make up for him . bernard cornwell and realizing he be sit on a gold mine and have milk sharpe adventure and add battle before and after and and in between those of the original set of book . and long may he milk . however and this mean that we will miss authentic dramatization of these late addition to the sharpe canon ( cannon and geddit . ) .
