My reaction
Concept:
Story:
Characters: There are a couple great characters, but mostly crap.
Dialog: Oh my goodness so many scenes of conversation with no titles.

Music: Simple arrangements of classical music for a small chamber ensemble - quite nice. I am impressed that they went to the trouble at all to record a score for such a massive movie that not many people care about.
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, ). There's some good stuff. Occasional stunts or moments of humor. Lots of camp and over-the-top melodrama. Musidora and her wardrobe are adorable. For the first five or six episodes I almost liked it. But it just keeps going...
