An absolute pleasure

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2002)

1 of only 11 films I've given 10/10 to out of 400, it's almost perfection. It's a sad state in England when there's more exposure to the Worlds most significant historical figures in one 90 minute American film than you get in 20 years of education here. Even allowing for the inaccuracies & toning down of Billy & Genghis it still teaches you more, infact even acknowledging these figures existed & when they lived is more than most TV does and most viewers sadly know.
I wouldn't actually call this a funny film, ie laughing out loud. That seems to be the one reason people have for disliking it. It's highly enjoyable & a highly amusing film. People sadly see it described as that and stupidly expect it to be a Leslie Nielson type film.
Only Back to the Future has made time travel as enjoyable. It just baffles me what anyone can dislike about the story here, your mind can wander off for hours during and after, and every character is loveable and brilliantly written into the story.

A rating way below what it deserves and pure entertainment & education for all ages.
10/10
