Ohhh, sword fights!
I think I mentioned once before that I am a sucker for a movie with sword fights.   Otherwise, this is a light movie about a serious topic. Oppression.  It's about a small town that has been run by fear up to that point and needs to be freed.
I say it's a light film because there are so many moments of just pure silliness and comedy that sometimes you forget that this legend always came with a message.

What do I think I learned from this film?
There is a reason we have superheroes, to give us the strength of will to be the hero ourselves.
