Yeah, the first one's a pretty fun movie. Mostly it's the concept that's way cool but, since I fence - I tend to love anything with lots of decent sword play. The tv series, (in my opinion), was way better than any of the movies, but then, tv has the option to explore and expand things that a two-hour movie cannot. Apples and oranges. (Besides which the series was filled with good-looking men, and if I'm going to devote to a series, it usually has to have nice eye-candy. :-D)
