I didn't watch it all for a few reasons. First, I was bored to tears watching it. Second, I felt it was a ripoff of Robin Hood in a way. In the part that I watched, he was banned from Paris, and he stole food from the rich to give to the poor. Sound familiar? I know it might be a good film if I give it a chance, but I couldn't take it. You might say "C'mon, it was lost for a really long time until someone found a copy of the film and restored it. Just watch it and you'll like it." Well I did. And it's not may favorite.
If you don't know what it's about, it's about a guy in the 1430's who is not only the local thief and scoundrel who is loved by all the poor folks, he is a poet. Even the King reads his poetry. I wouldn't. The poetry that popped up on the title cards was really cheesy. I don't know, maybe he was a poetry wizard in that time period. Villon is also a momma's boy. Awwww. Now that part, I do like.
I give it 2 horrible poetry stanzas out of 5. I would have given it one, but gave it 2 for effort.
