Captain Cool - 5 out of 10
Surprisingly I found this to be a fun movie. If you have not already noticed from the latter described, there are some familiar names and faces involved in this one. I am not sure as to how accurate it is to Poe's story, however, it's still very much watchable.
The fights in this one make up for the lack of gore considering it is all paired with some of the best fight music you'll ever come across. *Ha!* It can move a bit slow, but ye shall haveth thine fill of 'random' throughout. Skin was not expected, but of course, always well received. (Not to mention that Ellen Sherman is smoking hot; and that's even without the grapes!)Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like all involved were having bunches of fun while making this.
I tip my scales to the lower side of points as unfortunately this is the (I'm very sure heavily) 'American cut' of the film. I imagine the score will be much higher whence we view-eth the original-eth!. Recommended-eth!

Dr. Maillard - "Well we put much faith in the amusements of the simple patient procedure. Music, dancing, gymnastics, some play cards, and read books and so on and so fourth, and so on...and so fourth."
Gaston - "The more you say, the less I understand, Dr. Maillard."
Dr. Maillard - "I told you to sit down and I'm not used to being disobeyed."
Juan López Moctezuma is two for two so far. Not too bad, but we're sure the original cut is waaay better.
