It’s a movie that I saw, enjoyed, and mostly wrote off when it came out. But here we are 20+ years later and I’m still rewatching it every few years. It is still just over-the-top over-acted ridiculous silly fun.

Very well-paced and quotable. Main characters (Knightley and Bloom) were unremarkable, but the side characters (Depp and especially Rush) put in excellent performances into very silly roles.

It’s not The Godfather, but it’s not trying to be. It is pretty perfect at everything it did try to be.
