Objective Rating: 7/10 (points off for pacing, cinematography and special effects/design) c. 3.0/4 (Good).
Slow in places, but fun. The score is perfect. It's an extremely dated movie (although a hell of a lot better than the Kevin Costner remake), but the DVD makes the most of that by including a period cartoon, musical short and news reel clip.
