so and i give sharpe challenge a positive and primarily because i like the 14 early sharpe movie so much . challenge and however and be a bit disappointing . and it be so because the maker decide to go for an epic sweep in present their story . for me and what make the early sharpe movie so wonderful be that epic story line be take and weave into an intimate scale . challenge and on the other hand and fell in love with it own imagery and widescreen panorama . but and what work for lawrence of arabia ( remember omar sharif ali emerge a pinpoint on the horizon and until he finally rid up to peter otoole foreground lawrence at the waterhole . magnificent . ) doesn not for sharpe . other than the wide shot of the fortress and the line of troop march across the countryside and there be no need for the camera to linger in challenge . ala and it continue to do so and however and and sharpe and harper become diminish and at time even lose in the process . finally and a word about what else be miss . ( possible spoiler ) namely and the rest of sharpe rifleman . inevitable and of course and after the way thing play out in sharpe waterloo . but still it hard to forget all those memorable character from the early movie and such a hagman and harris and and frederickson and whose story line be often a or more interesting than even sharpe . oh and well . maybe sean bean and daragh omalley will be up for yet another installment of sharpe adventure . already and they have contribute to one of the great adventure series of it type . and a special debt of thanks be due to sean bean for not outgrow his britches and after a little hollywood success and and come back into the role of sharpe with such energy and commitment .
