About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grand, imaginative silent-era adventure with romance, stunts, and magical set pieces; Not for you if you dislike long runtimes, exaggerated acting, or slower pacing than The Mark of Zorro.
Pros: lavish fantasy world; imaginative effects; lively swashbuckling energy | Cons: very long runtime; occasional slow stretches; broad silent-era acting
