ThiefHott Too much of everything

Steineded How sad is this?

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

svenkostelny I was eight years old when these came out and was absolutely thrilled by the adventure they managed to capture. Perfect cast for each character, authentic costumes, awesome music, simple yet complex story and everything a pirate movie should have. No nonsense effects or other fancy stuff that you see in movies these days, no silliness and attempts to insert exaggerated humor into every scene. This is a good old fashioned adventure and if you are a fan of pirate movies, this one should be on your list of must see films.I am giving this one a score nine, not just out of nostalgia, but also because every time I re-watch this now, I can still find that sense of adventure and thrill, despite a few flaws that I always start to ignore, since the overall feel of the movie easily outweighs the weaker things, that are mostly contributed to the lower budget I presume. This European movie easily beats most of the high budget movies of today. Get yourself a version in Italian with English subs, grab your favorite movie snack, fasten the seat belt and get ready to for a thrilling adventure.

ccmiller1492 Beautifully photographed and well-acted, "Pirates:Blood Brothers" is a pirate saga worthy of Alexandre Dumas or Rafael Sabatini. It took me back to some of the better films of the genre such as "Captain Blood", "Captain from Castile" and "The Corsican Brothers", to name a few. For one who was very disappointed by the three campy Disney CGI pirate films, it was exhilarating to see this thrilling drama in the tradition of genuine historical adventure. It must be said that even though it's a story of two Italian brothers, one of whom becomes a member of the pirate brotherhood and one who becomes a spy in the pay of the French crown, it's a stirring,complex drama of revenge, redemption, twists of fate, and historical change. The film truly belongs mostly to the older, conscience-stricken brother Ippolito, consumed by remorse, masterfully portrayed by the astounding Paolo Seganti. Be warned about the four hour English dubbed version....the bad editing and terrible maladroit dubbing nearly ruins the film. Far better to see a complete Italian or German version with English subs. This is definitely the best film of the genre made since the aforementioned classics and it deserves a wide audience. Bravo to Paolo Seganti for an outstanding, moving portrayal which raised this film far above the pedestrian.

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.
