really and it hard to find word for how bad this be . i last half an hour and then i just couldn not stand any more . it not just that the acting and script be bad and and they be and the setting and costume and general atmosphere be so wrong that a bad film fail even to transport you to the world it be mean to portray which might at least have make me watch a bit more of it . i be put off right at the beginning by edward teach ( blackbeard ) have a scottish accent when of course he be english . angus macfadyen can act english why do not he . stacy keach look embarrass as well he should and richard chamberlain try to rise above it but his costume prevent him . thailand do not look like the west indie and the thai do not look like african slave . the acting be truly awful and the script sound like a teenager have write it after watch a few old movie . the costume be particularly awful . richard chamberlain look like a high school pantomime costume and the wig look a if someone have once see a picture of an english lawyer and try to reproduce it from memory with cotton wool . about the only decent thing in it be the ship and the at sea sequence where at least they would spend a bit of money . i know it be hallmark but they can do an reasonable enough job and moby dick be ok and this be bad and bad and bad . so bad i felt insulted and bitterly resent the rental fee . if youre think about watch it do not and just look out the window for an hour it bound to be more entertaining .
