Well, most people hated it ... but I'm a big fan of Roman Polanski's "Pirates" with Walter Matthau. Nothing but wall-to-wall piracy, and making light of it in the same successful way that Walt Disney did. I think that movie's a hoot, and I would have loved Curse o' the Pearl just as much, perhaps more, if they'd left the instant-zombies out.
Just one man's opinion. I like pirates, I think they're fun and interesting. No embellishment needed for one of history's most outlandish elements.
