Meh
Thought I'd watch an older movie I hadn't seen. Got what I expected-some cheesy acting and some mediocre special effects/cinematography. I remember reading the book. Of course it was better but this movie entertained. Not great but ok. It felt more like I was watching an 80s or 90s movie rather than one made in 2006. Thre storyline was a bit odd, but it's Stephen King sp it's expected. Overall though, worth a watch if you haven't seen it. But I won't be watching it again.

"I had my cinematic awakening in the late ’90s, and my understanding at the time was David Lynch didn’t want the film commercially released on VHS due to perceived inferior audiovisual quality. As a result, Screen Slate contributor Patrick Dahl and I first saw Eraserhead on an nth generation VHS bootleg with burned-in Japanese subtitles that we purchased at a horror convention in a Holiday Inn near Cleveland. I understood the movie completely differently when I finally saw and heard it in a theater, but this tape has its own vibe."

"Top to bottom, a perfect film – pure joy! Brittany Murphy was one of the greats. I just think the joy in that movie and, again, maybe taking a character that seems harder to empathize with out of the gate, and [having us] realize what a human being she is, and [it’s] an exploration of a different side of culture. As a Jersey girl, it was always very fascinating and fun for me to see that sort of L.A. kids’ culture and, of course, the fashion. I just miss the ’90s."

The second of the early-to-mid 90s TV adaptations of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, based on the first published of those novels and starring Sean Bean in the title role.

And, already, the restrictions of a TV budget are beginning to show somewhat: The Battle of Talavera, for instance (which occurs at the end of both the novel and this made-for-TV movie) is a decidedly small-scale affair, for instance!

Still, for all that, this is still an enjoyable enough adaptation of the source material.
