Movie Reviews of Captain Blood
Movie Review: Errol Flynn lights up the silver screen.
Summary: 5 Stars
Never in the history of movies has anyone made a debut like this. Errol Flynn in his first major leading role as Captain Blood is a prize possession in any movie collection. This is the movie role that stole the "swashbuckler" mantel from Douglas Fairbanks, making Errol Flynn an instant star.
Errol Flynn carries this movie with boldness, charm and a grand style. This is an exciting movie with all the action, intrigue, and romance you could want in a swashbuckling adventure movie. It cannot be given a higher recommendation. Dim the lights and pop the popcorn. Great entertainment!
Movie Review: Captain Blood
Summary: 5 Stars
"Captain Blood" made an overnight star of the Tasmanian Flynn, and no wonder. His combination of good looks, athleticism, and sheer personality brought back the swashbuckler in one fell swoop. Curtiz's direction is predictably assured, and both Atwill and pirate nemesis Basil Rathbone make truly despicable villains. Finally, young de Havilland is the perfect match for Flynn; it's easy to see why they'd be paired in seven more Warner pictures. By all means, set sail with this grand adventure, ideal for family viewing.Movie Review: Captain James Blood is Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film yesterday and can say it is really great movie. After got excited with Pirates of The Caribbean movies Captain Blood was in a way even better with old Hollywood style stars featuring Errol Flynn etc.
The miniature fighting scenes are entertaining and b & w format fits like hand in glove.
The history of Pirates is more accurate in Captain Blood than in Disney movies.
The Real Pirates Movie.

Thank You!
Movie Review: A Wonderful Nostalgic Afternoon at the Movies!
Summary: 5 Stars
A marvelous swash-buckler of a movie, the DVD is set up to simulate a typical afternoon at the movies, with all the proper assortment of short subjects including Coming Attractions, Newsreel, Musical interlude and Cartoon. Just like it used to be. I was too young to have seen the original on first release, but probably did see it later on. All the talk about ship models and tight budgets you can forget. The test is on the screen and it triumphantly succeeds.Movie Review: Perfect.
Summary: 5 Stars
Charming, fun, romantic, perfectly-paced, thoughtful, well-written, beautifully shot, smart...I could go on forever. This movie is a masterpiece. To know that Michael Curtiz went from this to The Adventures of Robin Hood, and from that to Casablanca is no surprise. If you have even a fleeting interest in high adventure along the lines of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' or 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl', then buy this classic immediately.
