Absolute Rubbish

One of those films that almost had me walking out of the cinema before the end. It's the most ridiculous hodgepodge of nonsense except is not even funny. 'Short' John Silver is an unfunny joke, Jim is dull and dimwitted, La Baronne is another unfunny joke though at least - and of course - she's beautiful. The heaving of her boobs alone is enough to make you seasick but vomiting you will be anyway if you waste your time and money on this - one of the laziest, most unimaginative, tedious pile of rubbish I have ever had the misfortune to come across. I knew it was French thus I imagined it wouldn't be any good - I have adored the novel since my childhood and I have to investigate anything remotely connected with it. However never did I expect such enormous nonsense. Honestly, I wanted to ask for my money back. Stay well clear....
