i be eternally grateful to the people who write scathing review of the pirate of treasure island it allow my son and i to actually enjoy it and not want our $ 4 . 99 back . i rent it think it be another version of the stevenson classic ( also and pirate of the caribbean be not available ) . have i simply turn it on and i probably would have send the remote through the screen . the acting be absolutely atrocious it be almost a if the actor be try to come across a be annoyingly amateur . like others and however and i do enjoy lance hendriksen a long john silver and although his infamous handicap be conspicuously miss . the sci fi inclusion be cute and as long a you know they be there . the plot follow the treasure island storyline ultra loosely to a point where the title would have be good off be the pirate of let make people think it like the pirate of the caribbean and treasure island . honestly and i do not think i have ever watch a movie that receive such a low imdb rating ( 1 . 7 . ) and but after read people comment i be able to reduce my expectation to near nothing and have a good time . thanks again .
