SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

KawaiiKiwi I wasn't expecting much from the movie since it was made for TV, but it really turned out to be the best pirate movie I saw, definitely. The characters are engaging, the setting is believable, the two main actors playing the brothers are simply perfect for the roles, and the soundtrack is really endearing. The only fault might perhaps be the visuals, the underwater scenes looking kind of weak, but the rest, sceneries, costumes and make-up is excellent all around. The original movie is kind of long, but I saw the "Pirates: Blood Brothers" version which was a bit shorter, although you don't actually feel like the movie is long anyways, since it's so captivating that you never want it to end. You get to care for all the characters, and there's always intrigue and action to spice things up.Without a doubt an adventure movie far superior to all the Hollywood ones that every fan of pirates stories should watch.

coradenice The first time I watched the mini series I was 17 and absolutely fascinated by how exotic and bright it looked and by the whole twist of fate story. I am crazy about period dramas and wild stories about pirates, and the actors were incredibly beautiful and quite talented. I watched each episode over and over whenever the series was on television, and in time I've come to be less subjective and face its flaws. Many scenes were poorly shot, the dialog and situations were often naive and not too credible, the score, although brilliant, was most of the time redundant and not masterly distributed throughout the movie. However, this is a flick that once captivated the dreamy teen-ager in me, and for this reason it's still very close to my heart, despite its defects. All in all, it's a very enjoyable movie if you don't analyze its technique too much. I'm only sorry because it had great potential to reach perfection in better directorial hands and vision, and certainly with a bigger budget.

malasorte86 An excellent movie, with great landscapes, a simple and complex story at the same time, but with parts of history reality.Malasorte is like Edmond Dantes (The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas), a victim of his society who wants to revenge his (supossed) brother death, his father death, his lost love.It is more realistic than "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)", not a comedy, not an "today action movie", but a real adventure.The producers are well documented about history, clothes, ships, rules, in the area in that period. The language (original Italian) is more suitable for Caribbean Area than English.The 4 parts (360 minutes all) are excellent connected and aren't boring.Unfortunately this movie is an European one and it isn't well known, but, in my opinion, it is better than the American ones.I saw it 3 times and I still believe it is the best movie I have ever seen.I hope you'll enjoy it.

cengelm What do you expect from a pirate flick? A parrot? Yes, you get it. A treasury map? Yes. A hidden island in the Caribbean? Yeah. And fencing? Sure. Swashbucklers, cannons and a lovely maiden. It sounds a little bit strange but compared with other pirate films this one feels less dated. Mario Adorf convinces as Ferrante.I gave this one an 8. I'd like to see it again.
