I'll keep it short and sweet...
A great fantasy film for kids but considerably lacking for grown ups.
Michelle Pfeiffer was beautiful, Clare Danes was pretty awful, Peter O'Toole was alive and just about kicking (wonderful to see him) and Robert De Niro was quite fantastic as a very special pirate (won't give it away!) The lead Charlie Cox did nothing for me whilst Sienna Miller stood out for all the wrong reasons. The biggest highlight for me was in seeing a great ensemble cast of brothers including Rupert Everett, David Walliams and Jason Flemyng. Although an even bigger highlight was in seeing Nathaniel Parker back on the big screen.
Lovely sets, suitable humour, familiar gags. The music was completely overpowering. Just quite hammy and boring really. What a philistine am I?
Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable two hours or so. A possible perfect Sunday afternoon flick to chill out to.
Hola, film buddy!
Films. Movies. Flicks. Pictures. Cinema. Call them what you will...I LOVE THEM! Almost every film has at least one redeeming feature be it the script, effects, leading lady, costumes etc. Few films suck so much that nothing can be gained from watching them... but maybe, in my quest to watch as many as possible in one life time, I will find that one! Follow me on a journey to find that one extraordinary film (and maybe we'll discover some corkers in the meantime!) The FiLm WoRM is on the case... Please feel free to leave me a comment or two! Thank you. Happy viewing!!
About Me
- Film Worm
- Worcs., United Kingdom
- As kids, my brother and I used to spend hours planning which films to tape off the telly at Christmas... hours. Trawling though the Radio Times AND TV Times just to make sure we got all we wanted. Having a VCR made us SO happy and bound us together in a world of fantasy and fact, bravado and action. What a world it is! Still a common bond with so many people in my life, film is amazing and although I discovered the joys of the outside world, books and, dare I say it, real-life people I'm still a film-addict in the best sense of the term. I like other things too, and I'm sure these will get a mention. Mucho love to all those who understand my meaning when I say, "Film rocks!"
