The Duel (2000)

Summary: Quite good....
I thought I was really going to like this but I didn't, it was still fairly enjoyable though. It's the usual story about emperor's, princes and princesses with a lot of comedy. Not much sword-fighting but then it's not a swordfighting film, more like a spoof on the genre and 007! I quite liked the swordfighting in it, it looked good to me but most people seemed to think it was really bad. I didn't really find this film funny though so that's were it fell down for me. There were a few funny scenes but it tried to hard to be funny and failed IMO. From the three films the same team have worked on I'd say right at the top would be Stormriders which I loved, then this in the middle and A Man Called Hero at the bottom which I hated.
