base on the description appear on the front and back cover of the movie case and one would expect this movie to chronicle the life and time of blackbeard . instead the movie focus more on a fictional love story than the historical figure for which it be title . blackbeard more notable conquest and action be not even elude to . one would think give 169 minute they might have squeeze in a little something more . his reputation with no specific be only referenced . this film unfortunately be primarily focus on a fictional love story . there be far more element of fiction than fact in this film . in short and much like judge a book by it cover and do not buy or view this movie base on it box .
