My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? No.
I hate to say it but this is the first version of this story that I've seen. I really should hit the earlier versions. This one, though, was better than I expected. It was fun. The cast does a fine job, the pacing is good and the movie looks great. I liked it well enough but I feel like seeing it once was enough. At the very least it's got me anxious to see some of the more popular, earlier versions going back to the Douglas Fairbanks 1929 picture.
