Leave your thoughts about Pirates.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasPirates has its sly, funny moments, but ironically ends up a work by a sophisticated film maker that may be best left to the least demanding audiences. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittRoman Polanski's Pirates is a decidedly underwhelming comedy adventure adding up to a major disappointment. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordPirates is a Roman Polanski grossout. There's a rat in the soup and urine in the bath water and corpses all over the place. There's slipping and sliding and colliding, stabbings, bludgeonings and tumbles from the mast. Nothing is left underdone except the hilarity, the one good excuse for such low-jinks on the high seas. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioThere hasn't been a pirate movie in a long time, and after Roman Polanski's "Pirates," there may not be another one for a very long time. This movie represents some kind of low point for the genre that gave us Captain Blood. It also gives us a new pirate image to ponder. |
| IndieWireRobbie FreelingWiped from the eyes like so much sea-wash, his 1986 disaster Pirates is considered a rude, humiliating smear on an otherwise thematically sophisticated, if uneven body of work that, yes, occasionally courts the vulgar. |
| User ReviewMATMI had a good time watching “Pirates”. The acting, sets, and costumes were terrific and there were plenty of fun moments, but the print I watched looked like it had been sitting in the sun for 40 years and been run over by a truck. Cleaning it up won't make it a better movie, but it would allow the spectacle to shine through better. Not quite a good movie, but it did come really close. I give it a D, just don’t bother. |
