This movie could be one of the worst I've ever seen. The acting is formulaic, the action and story are too. The only difference between this movie and other "action" movies is this one takes place with pirates and on ships. Some of the scenes are beyond laughable (for instance, Geena Davis, in one scene, outruns a team of horses while jumping through windows, dodging obstacles and leaping out another window). If you are aged 10-13, you might like it, otherwise consider yourselves warned. Oh, and the "bad-guy death" scene is the funniest thing I ever saw, but wasn't supposed to be.
