adam b While the acting was decent and the production was surprisingly good for a Hallmark film, it's still blanded by shitty directing and a terribly boring script Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A very average film that was easy to watch but a bit stupid and poor acting at times. Not one to watch again. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 170504: I understand this film does not accurately reflect history but perhaps we should just enjoy it as the entertainment it was designed to be? As TV movies go, Blackbeard is not too bad. Please note, if you considering younger viewers, this is a violent film and William Teach (MacFadyen) rules the Queen Anne's Revenge with bloodstained hands. I obtained this DVD at a garage sale and will now pass it on in the same manner. I do not regret having spent the time but Blackbeard offers no compelling reason to ever come back again. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member While I wouldn't call Blackbeard a terrific and successful television movie, I would call it an admirable effort. The thing that really makes this film work is Angus Macfadyen, who I think does a pretty good job with the character. The film is a bloated three hour epic with a television budget, but I think they did the best that they could with what they had. The film also stars Stacy Keach, Richard Chamberlain and the lovely Jessica Chastain, prior to her success with The Tree of Life and Zero Dark Thirty. The film does feel a bit sanitized and doesn't find a clear focus, but there's plenty of hard work put into it. It's not the most interesting film you're ever likely to see either, so if you don't like swashbuckling movies then it probably won't be your cup of tea anyways. It's not a poor effort, just not great when it comes to the final product. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Blackbeard - amazing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this was pretty good for a Hallmark production, and the length was awesome. The pirates could have been a bit more piratey, but it was still fun. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
