This is a pretty good action movie for many of the reasons that people have stated so far. If you suspend knowledge of the original source material, it was a fun ride. BUT, the clothing/sets seemed to say 1880's England, the time of the original stories, but there is a clear reference to the ongoing American Civil War being waged, and that was the 1860"s?? It sort of ruined it for me. Perhaps the screen writers' grasp of American history was a bit weak!
