Movie Reviews of Blackbeard's Ghost
Movie Review: Another title: "How a comedy movie should be"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just a masterpiece of comedy movies! In the same words of Peter
Unistov as Blackbeard, it seems that people don't know how to have fun
anymore nowadays. I think that's the reason why I never saw many
excellent comedies like that anymore. I love to see a great piece in the
big screen, one of those who give us some reflection of life, some
outstanding lines, epic portrayals of great men of our history and
everything. But I also LOVE to strike a great laugh as well! And this
movie delivers!! You just blow your head off of laughing, from the very
beginning 'till the very end! The jokes are some of the best of all
times!! Every single frame of this movie is a turbulence of nonstop
laughing!! I just can't find words to say something bad about this
movie, I mean it.
How can one not give a single good laugh after seeing Blackbeard (Peter
Unistov) put Steve Walker (Dean Jones) into trouble with a police
officer? Or even, in the olympics where Blackbeard helps poor Godolphin
team to win, specially when he messes up with the final competition,
where he confuses every other runner simply using a hot-dog, a flag and
a bottle of rum! THIS FOLKS, IS HOW EVERY COMEDY MOVIE SHOULD BE MADE!!
I mean it! This is first class comedy! I first saw this movie when I
had 8 years. I'm 26 now. And I continue to love this as much as I loved
when I was a boy.
This is, without a doubt a 5 star movie! And even giving this 5 stars is
not enough, because it deserves much more! Perhaps, shouting the magic
words (kree kru vergo gebba kalto kree) out loud can make some other
picture like that appears around. While this isn't happen, get this one
and have fun beyond your imagination!
Summary of Blackbeard's Ghost
Features include:
?MPAA Rating: G
?Format: DVD
?Runtime: 106 minutes
In the moody prologue, amid a raging storm that evokes Hollywood golden-age high-seas swashbucklers, a foreboding scroll recounts the legend of one of the bloodiest pirates in the history of the Caribbean. Leave it to Disney to turn him into a fun-loving old prankster with a whimsical side. Peter Ustinov mugs shamelessly as the bombastic but harmless apparition who renounces his wicked ways to become the mischievous school spirit of the local college, much to the annoyance of straight-arrow track coach Dean Jones. Made in the heyday of Disney?s live-action family comedies, Blackbeard's Ghost is all haphazard but high-energy slapstick and squeaky-clean romance (courtesy of contemporary schoolmarm Suzanne Pleshette) performed with more gumption than grace, but there?s a nostalgic innocence to the whole overplayed affair. --Sean Axmaker
