Review of Pirates

Pirates (2005 Video)
4/10
Awful porn without the porn.
26 April 2009
Awful! I don't know the history of this movie, so maybe it started out as a hard-core porn film that later stripped the sex scenes out to cater to a larger audience around the time of the extreme popularity of "Dead Man's Chest." If so, they should have just left the sex in and kept the rating at XXX. It would at least have some sexual interest in that form. In its present form it isn't interesting as either porn or as a good movie. The acting is unbelievably bad: porn movie quality acting without the porn, as if all the actors were reading their lines for the first time. Nearly all the scenery, especially the ships at sea, is done with CGI, and bad CGI at that. All the women are fake bleach blondes with fake, balloon-like breasts, and all very sleezy-looking, which makes the romantic dialog sound ridiculous. Sorry, I just can't find anything of appeal anywhere in this film: not sex, not scenery, not action, not effects, not atmosphere, not humor, not philosophy, not history, nothing.
