I really love this movie. I've never read the book, but I have seen about a billion different versions of it on film, and this is one of the most fun. It has absolutely my favourite cast. Its funny, the bad guy is fabulously over the top, the good guys are gorgeous, the ladies are lovely, and the sword fights are most excellent. I love the sword, and I pay a lot of attention to fights. This film is full of nice sword work. If you want a fun film with lots of swordplay and plenty of style, this is one to watch.
