Okay people, lighten up. Yes it has problems, but I defy anyone to find a truly flawless movie. It can't be done.
This movie had great action going for it, as well a a great lead in Geena Davis, who pulls off action movies surprisingly well. A story with a treasure map, betrayal, swordfighting, adventure, comedy, and one kick ass villain to boot. If anything else, it will entertain you, and that is what a movie should do.
And to the person who made comments about the swordfighting...there's a difference between fencing and swordfighting, I'm afraid. Fencing is ballet with swords, with rules and points involved, as well as grace and form. Swordfighting is the complete opposite. See "Die another day" for an example. I have done acting and have worked in plays involving swordplay, and taken classes on fencing. There is a big difference between the two, so to criticize a film because the swordfighting doesn't use real fencing moves is, well, silly.
