  Great fun!
  
  Some swash-buckling escapism. Plenty of action and adventures, great fun for all the family. I would highly recommend this.

  Swash buckling cheese
  
  Think there are better pirate films out there! Not Geena's best performance, but ok to watch if your feeling poorly and child like!
