I first saw this movie when I was somewhere between 12 and 15 years old. I liked the movie in that time and I had to laugh with the gimmicks. I saw it multiple times.
Today I saw this movie again, but instead of 15 years before, I now disliked the movie. I could not laugh with any joke nor situation.
What I disliked the most now is that it is not edited very well. It seems that the movie stops for a few milliseconds between many shot and scenes.
I now find that the humor is funny when you are a child or teenager, but not when you are an adult.
There are also some "real" mistakes in the movie. Of course it is a comic movie and most of it is fictitious. However there are some things that are not correct historically, such as Christinan, the princess of Belgium and its army. In 1786 Belgium did not exist yet, it was a part of the "United states of the Netherlands". Belgium was only founded in 1830. Before 1830 it was ruled by many other authorities (Netherlands, France, Germans, Spain, Rome, ...).
