a film like a testimony. for expectations of a public. for sensitivity of a time. using Alexandre Dumas novel and the shadow of Zorro, a not bad cast and a rich chain of adventures, the director does one of period sweet, nice, glorious films.fight scenes, drops of democracy, freedom and feminism , a fortune and silhouette of a hero of past. sure, it is not exactly a product of series. but not original. it is a drawing about love, honor, duty, victory of good values and an emperor far to be real model. result - a comfortable film. nothing new but , in same measure, nothing boring. only a game with beautiful women and charming officer.
