 Pirates! February 9, 2010
Anita Lemke
Not bad. Fair amount of action. It was the first pirate film in some time and worth watching. not up to " Pirates of the Carr.", but then they didn't have that kind of money to spend either.
 lady swashbuckler February 6, 2010
Irene Gates (phoenix, arizona United States)
I really love Geena Davis in this movie;she is the perfect lady swashbuckler!To me ,she is the female Jack Sparrow,and every bit as much fun.She is fierce,but can show tenderness.Her love interest,Matthew Modine,is an excellent foil to the lady pirate.It is also a real marvel to know Ms Davis was almost forty years old in this movie ,and looks better than ever...(like about thirty).I am sure a lot of actors envied her this great part.Great fun!
 BEWARE! This 2007 Lionsgate release is NOT anamorphic, NOT enhanced for 16:9 TVs. February 5, 2010
M. Anderson (Seattle, WA USA)
BEWARE! This 2007 Lionsgate release is NOT anamorphic, NOT enhanced for 16:9 TVs.
This release is basically no different than the 1998 Artisan edition, wide-screen view, but not enhanced for 16:9 tv sets, and therefore has black bars along the top & bottom, and along the left & right sides. Actually, the Artisan edition contains both the full-screen (standard) and wide-screen versions. So, this more recent Lionsgate edition is actually less than the previous. So far, the only way to get this movie in wide-screen enhanced for 16:9 tvs (anamorphic) is on the recent blu-ray release (but you'll need a blu-ray player).
And, shame on Amazon for not including the enhanced 16:9/anamorphic status of all their DVD titles! The whole system is designed to trick buyers into buying something they might not have wanted - GOTCHA!
Big-budget pirate fun on blu-ray! January 25, 2010
T. Dishaw (Massena, NY)
This review is for the blu-ray version. Cutthroat Island is an old-fashioned swashbuckler of a pirate movie. It's not a masterpiece of filmmaking by any means, but taken for what it is---fun, entertaining, popcorn cinema---it's great. With a budget of some $92 million, this was a great looking, great sounding movie, and the blu-ray transfer does it justice. The surround sound is especially impressive. There's no CGI here, just plenty of superb stunt work, big sets, bigger explosions, and lots of action. The weak point in the film may be the casting. Geena Davis is a fine actress, but she just doesn't seem to fit the pirate role. Same for Frank Langella...with the buzzed hair and funky outfit he looks more Mad Max than Blackbeard. Still, the movie has fun with itself and manages to throw in every pirate cliche you can imagine. At this price it's a great addition to your blu-ray collection!
 DO NOT BUY THIS CD! December 11, 2009

Firstly, although I received the product in good time, the CD case cracked upon arrival. Second, I was very disappointed with the CD. This is an amazing soundtrack, to which the movie did no justice. If your a collector of soundtracks, this one is a must! But do not buy this extended version! Your wasting your money. The bonus track was a lousy synthesized version (yuck!) and the other previously unreleased tracks were OK...not spectacular in the least. The price I paid for this product was a huge mistake! Do not buy it. I have the original version (before this newly released version was released) and I have to say..............the original was better (so buy that one if you really want to add this soundtrack to your collection). This expanded version is a WASTE OF MONEY!! DON'T BUY IT!!
