Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzA labored and undemanding 16th-century swashbuckler and costume drama.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WA delightful recently discovered lost silent film from the dashing Silent Star John Gilbert that is a whole lot of fun. Even though it was made as a somewhat satire of the Swashbuckler/Romance genre it holds up on its own well. It's got a lot going for it & is a real treat. It has everything witty dialogue, lots of laughs, action, romance & of course Sword Duels. The dedication to put this together was amazing, they found a damaged French Print & restored it immaculately.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael TElaborate MGM silent film works largely because of the appeal of its star, John Gilbert.
User Review - 8/10 by Zack BAn immensely enjoyable silent swashbuckler based on a Rafael Sabitini novel. I have not seen a lot of John Gilbert's work, but he was apparently one of MGM's biggest stars of the period. I can see why. He has an engaging screen presence and a real talent for comedic action.

User Review - 6/10 by Razvan Florentin PBardelys the Magnificent is basically a Douglas Fairbanks movie, but with John Gilbert. I didn't find him quite convincing as a swashbuckler, but he does a nice job with the other parts of the script: the love scenes (they are a bit ridiculous in a classic silent movie way, but they're also sweet and sometimes genuinely erotic), the jokes (which surprisingly haven't deteriorated with age!), and the character work. The stunts are really good, actually. All in all, it's worth seeing, especially since Gilbert is usually (understandably) overshadowed by Garbo now. It's nice to see him as the star of his movie.
User Review - 6/10 by Erik GPretty routine swashbuckler enlivened by John Gilbert's exuberant, swaggering performance. He basically out-Errol Flynns Errol Flynn. He even does Douglas Fairbanks, for which King Vidor provides what must have been the first use of slow motion in an action scene. For many years, this film was totally lost, which is a staggering and humbling idea that a Hollywood studio film, something that required the talents of thousands could completely disappear.
