Better Than the "Pirates of Caribbean" Films March 21, 2010
David Baldwin (Philadelphia,PA USA)
You would scratch your head if somebody told you that Geena Davis and Matthew Modine were in a swashbuckler. Probably the same incredulity hit you when you heard that Johnny Depp was in a pirate movie. Your jaw would also drop if I were to tell you it's pretty good. Not great but as a time-filler not bad. I rank this over the "Pirates of the Carribean" films, Johnny Depp's brilliance aside, because those were to my mind bloated self-indulgent exercises. Renny Harlin's film lacks these pretentions. It's just high-spirited performances and breathtaking action. This film would make a terrific double-bill with a film I saw as a kid, "Swashbuckler" with the late great Irish actor Robert Shaw.
 Very poor quality DVD February 15, 2010
Brielle (Arizona)
Some like this movie..others hate it. But the real disappointment is the quality of the picture. It is horrible. Just aweful. No idea what makes such a bad picture, but it makes the movie un-watchable.
 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

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!
