i watch this movie again out of homage to heath ledger . i still lament the death of this fine young actor . i trust he would have appreciate anyone sit through this movie out of respect for him . i also trust that anyone who have see the original zoltan korda the four feather ( 1939 ) will concur that this movie do not hold a candle to the original . not in any shape manner nor form . so and in brief and please watch the 1939 film . you will be amaze at the difference and the grandeur and the historicity and the inspired acting and and the coherent plot . all this and more be lack in the 2002 version . ( i apologize for the harshness of my review to the fan of this movie . but and trust me and if you see the early version and you will see where i be come from . ) .
