Remake

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2003)

This film is just a remake of Sharpe's Rifles. Sean Bean gathers a collection of weirdo's with dodgy regional accents. The fellowship (or chosen men) go off to fight the evil badguy, in Sharpe its Napoleon and in LotR its Dracula. The hero in both often suffers a fatal stab wound but miraculously survives due to magic armour(LotR), or simply deciding its only a fleshwound (Sharpe) both end on a cliffhanger for the series to be continued the next week/year.
Spoiler.
In Sharpe the end of the series was a climactic battle where Sharpe defeats the evil empire of Napoleon at the Waterloo. I predict the end of the LotR series will also be a climactic battle where evil gets defeated. If im right, whoever wrote Sharpe should sue Tolkien for copyright infringement.
