Movie Reviews of Treasure Island
Movie Review: Adventure - Adventure - Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be one of my all-time favorite films. I've been watching an old VHS version for the past 20 years that I taped off TV, but it finally wore out.
This is an excellent transfer of this fine film. Very sharp, wonderful tonality, and with very little dust or dirt.... very nice indeed. The audio is crisp and clear as well. I will say that in some of the darker scenes the grain does show a bit, but that's such a minor thing... truly, I'm amazed at how good this old film looks.
Maybe it's because I feel like a kid again when I watch this film, but it has everything I could would want for a Saturday afternoon film.... adventure, one legged pirates, and buried treasure on a far-away island....... wow!
I do understand and sympathize with some of the folks here who felt this wasn't true to the book, but I've always felt a good movie should be able to stand on it's own, and this one does that just fine. The pacing is fairly quick for an older film, with no dead or slow spots, and the many fine actors do a great job of developing and portraying their characters.
As far as Jackie Cooper's acting goes...... well, for me that is one of the highlights of the film, so it just goes to show that sometimes it's merely a matter of taste.
If you are a fan of well done older films, then I can highly recommend this as one of the best. Good clean fun for the whole family!
