Movie Reviews of Treasure Island
Movie Review: Arrrrh!
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Newton is hands down the ultimate pirate. And I'm sure, if he were still alive, would have been offered a starring role in the Disney production of "Pirates of the Carribean". Johnny Depp is terrific as Jack Sparrow, just a little too swishy for my taste, but funny none the less. This movie holds up well even by todays ultra violence and CGI, plenty of swashbuckling swordplay and adventure to keep the kiddies interested. By the way a little historic note-pirates drank rum because the water on the ship was often rancid and undrinkable after so many months at sea. Yo, ho, ho!Movie Review: A Fantastic Story Well Told
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great, especially for anyone who is also a fan of the book. Everyone must keep in mind that the attention span of moviegoers in past decades was longer than what we are used to today, so some scenes may feel drawn out and slow to someone not used to older films. The acting is very good. It is great to go back and watch movies before the world of computers opened up. This is when animals in movies were real, acting skill was imperative to being an actor and scenes were built, not added in technologically afterward.Movie Review: Treasure Island
Summary: 5 Stars
Byron Haskin's definitive film version of Stevenson's salty tale stands out for Newton's glorious, scenery chewing performance as Long John, the most charming and devious cut-throat sailing the seven seas, and Driscoll also holds his own as Jim. The Disney studio spared no expense in bringing "Treasure" to the screen again (it was previously filmed in 1934), as both production design and color photography are first-rate. To would-be pirates of all ages, all aboard for this flavorful, exciting adventure.Movie Review: Best version of Treasure Island
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best version of Treasure Island. It doesn't exactly follow the book. In this version Long John Silver is more charismatic and lovable than in the book. The Jim Hawkins character has a sweeter, more lovable disposition. The extras of of Long John holding a knife to Jim Hawkins, Jim having to kill one of the pirates to save his life, and Long John doing what he can to save Jim gave it the extras the book didn't have.Movie Review: Long John Silver
