Yeah, I saw that one. I liked it, but I don't know if I'd rank it among my favorites.

I probably wouldn't either, but it's very enjoyable if you like Age of Sail stuff, some of the period fighting bits hold up better than more modern movies. Hey, they remembered what chain shot was!

Definitely could have lived without the brownface.
