Movie Reviews of Nate and Hayes

Movie Review: Great pirate movies
Summary: 4 Stars

This is such a classic! If you enjoy a movie of the PIRATE genre, then this is it! "Pirates of the Carribean" must have studied this to help make their movies such a success.

Movie Review: Guz's Review
Summary: 4 Stars

A very good movie; one of Mr. Jones' better ones. It has taken me some time to find it on DVD but it was worth the wait.

Movie Review: Relatively Modern B Movie Adventure
Summary: 3 Stars

This film is not the quality one would expect from a name like Tommy Lee Jones but it does have its moments. Watching it is like watching an old B movie serial with more modern effects like color and scripts.

Jones plays Capt. Bully Hayes, a south seas scoundrel with a reputation for piracy. He is hired to transport a young couple to the island where they plan to marry and become missionaries. The young lady on her way to be married is a bit nervous. She does not seem like she is ready to settle down to such a calm life. Even so, she is resigned to it but not without a little act of defiance. She takes some of her money to "invest" in the dashing captain's maritime exploits.

After dropping the couple off, the couple's island is raided by slavers who think they have killed everyone except the girl, who is naturally taken prisoner. They try to leave evidence implicating Hayes and plan to use the girl to trade to a barbarian king in exchange for basing rights for the expanding German navy. She is to be a human sacrifice in the style right out of the Saturday matinees.

Meanwhile, Capt. Hayes has decided that he has a romantic interest in the girl and turns back to get her. He find a very hacked of fiancé who believes that Hayes is the cause of all his woes. Together, this unlikely pair head out to rescue the damsel in distress, take on the Imperial German Navy and clear the Captain's name.

The film is full of unlikely plot devices and rube Goldberg contraptions but it does have a certain brassiness about it. It was fun to watch but is certainly not worth keeping near at hand. It might be best suited for entertaining some unruly boys on a rainy weekend.

Movie Review: Wanted to like this picture more than I did.
Summary: 3 Stars

My husband liked it better than me. I love the actors which is why I picked it up. But just fell short of working for me. Won't be a re-watch for us either. I can see how someone might like it better than I did and perhaps some of my take is fickle as in it seemed to be showing it's age and era it was made in. With todays technology in film making some of the oldies aren't holding their own against todays films. Then again...To Kill A Mocking Bird and Casablanca and the African Queen still capture my mind and heart. Not this one.
