User Reviews

So outdated that's brilliant
19 November 2005 | by (Netherlands) – See all my reviews

I really like this movie. They typically show it on rainy Saterday afternoons at 14:00 or so on some public network and I watch (parts from it, since you never really plan to see it) every odd couple of years or so.

John Silver is the best. After watching it I find myself talk 'Pirate' for days. The funny thing is the young generation of today who generally only likes modern computer special effects also know about this. I hear them using the "pirate talk." So I guess it's really a movie everybody has seen silly, stupid and outdated but so good at being that. True classic
