8 / 10 I really loved this. The actors were very charismatic. Some scenes would provoke moral spasms now - such has civilisation been sacrificed to hysterics since the early 90s. Am I the only one to see something a little homoerotic in Geronimo's relationship to Fergus? Probably.
My Movie Rating:
9 / 10 West Cork will never be the same. West Cork is in Ireland and so am puzzled as to why the Union Jack was placed beside it.
My Movie Rating: 7 / 10 10 / 10 This is my favorite version of this classic French tale.
