DVD Reviews of Pirates
DVD Review: un-cut version
Summary: 4 Stars
I have seen this film when it was released in VHS format. It was indeed bawdy but in a non offensive humorous way. When we got the DVD we were troubled by how it had been needlessly sensored. Scenes that were suggestive but less graphic than most TV dramas had been cut and the film lost a lot of its flow and in fact logic. I was terribly disapointed and continually search for an un-cut version. In its original form, it is a very funny twist to a pirate's tale and a tribute to the late Walter Matthau.DVD Review: Pirates
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is in English, you just have to figure out how to get through the menu's, which are in Portuguese. This is an excellent Pirate movie.DVD Review: Poor quality
Summary: 3 Stars
First, this is a poor quality DVD with quite a few glitches.
That aside, the movie is....well...different.
I especially liked Captain Red's dialog. It was colorful.
The movie was not nearly as "bawdy" as I had been led to believe, but it does have one catch.
Any other pirate movie you see, the pirate actually is a good guy, just misunderstood, somehow. The pirate always gets the girl, and the girl is always some duchess or something that is far above the pirates station in life.
Not this movie.
Pirates really went to sea for gold. If they came across anything else, they would take it, too. In this movie, that is what happens. The pirates live happily everafter because they got the gold. The girl got away, the pirates were a bunch of low lifes, very different from the way these movies have always played out in the past.
