5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best pirate film ever -, 2 April 2008
Movies do not come any more swashbuckling than this one. Hey, we have pirates, the Caribbean, villains, heroes, damsels in distress, sword fights, sea battles, inventions, acrobatics aplenty. And all delivered with Burt's legendary smile. It is not a genre spoof, but it does not take itself seriously either.

Watching this film one can perhaps understand why some people took a while to accept Burt Lancaster as a real actor. Not that his acting in this film is bad, but the excellent acrobatic skills we come to admire betray a different background.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a nice one, 21 April 2009
By HCS (Finland) - See all my reviews
I saw this as a 8 years old, it was great then and it's still a nice one after 20+ years. A family film.
No subtitles are available so english should be understood.
Audio and visual quality are not good though, but i think here the spirit of the film weights more and carries it through.

Just as I remembered it as a kid. Well worth a watch. Burt Lancaster is great and the fact he does his own aerobatics certainly puts the modern day actor to shame.
