Jared B. Great explosions, but otherwise lackluster. Problems are resolved almost instantly. Wouldn’t watch again, but I did finish it.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Monique G Maybe bc I am a woman and I used to watch Erroll Flynn movies as a kid, but I really loved this movie and esp bc of Geena Davis her lead-role, strong action role too and funny, which was still an anomaly for me, gave or take a dozen of movies, I still live strong, female roles. She only needed a better actor for the male role (I even forgot his name🤭), but I really liked this movie a lot and get the bad reviews, but will bet there are more women of my generation who did love the movie too, coz I am normally much more critical of a movie, but this one, I didn’t have to take seriously, just lots of fun, for me anyway🫠 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Carson P Hard to believe they actually tried to revive the pirate shwashbuckler genre and failed miserably cutthroat island directed by German hack Renny Harlin was a critical and commercial failure and failed to impress audiences or capture the magic of the early pirate movies of the 30s. Now while it may not be as dreadful and horrendous as the legend of Hercules this is still among the worst and one of the reasons of Renny Harlin being such a weak and lousy director it was bassically the decline of his career I know hard to believe a director who rose to film industry in the 80s already became vilified in the 90s. Well some things can be confusing but it’s true. This stars geena Davis who was married to the director and having just been in Oscar run with Thelma and Louise she managed to team with Harlin to play a pirate women who is actually a captain of her ship really??. Davis is sorely miscast here and she acts like she doesn’t seem interested in the role she is in and her interactions with other players are boring and lifeless. The film also has serious pacing issues that in some scenes you feel like falling asleep I heard audiences fell asleep when they were in the theater watching this snooze fest it fails to provide audiences with any excitement. Based on both the box office and reception of this type of film Reviewers may call it the heavens gate of swashbuckler films by at least heavens gate kind of kept interest and had a directors cut which made it a good movie not to mention it was made by a great director ( Michael coming ) cutthroat island doesn’t have nearly anything going for it that would make it anywhere good the direction from Renny Harlin is incompetent he managed to give his then oscar nominated superstar wife a terrible lifeless performance She should be ashamed of him a husband gave his wife her worst performance luckily the divorced and I can only imagine Davis being mad at him for this and filed for divorce because of him making her look like a bad actress. Swashbuckler films are supposed to feature chases, swords fencing, and ship adventure as a result they are to be fun and entertaining yet cutthroat island despite having all that isn’t fun at all the charachters were dull, boring and paper thin and the story/plot was uninspired and unoriginal it doesn’t bring anything new to the genre which thankfully happened with pirates of the carribean unlike that Trilogy from bruckheimer and verbinski cutthroat island fails on every level it’s a yo ho hum yawn all of the pirates of the carribean films are way better than this even the 4th and 5th ones not directed by gore verbinski we’re better than this snooze fest in conclusion cuthroat islqnd is a boring and generic pirate film that doesn’t give us any excitement outside of two scenes and a cameo that I don’t even know who it was but none of that can save it from getting a 3/10 overall lousy film Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review alan g You can always tell a bad movie when the male lead is prettier than the female one. Waste of Geena Davis. Wate of 2 hours. Feels longer. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
