      Disc Watching Report: A Good Film That Was Overlooked - Watch "Indian Treasures\Cut Throat Island" again (

      It's an old movie, and it's been a big hit for quite some time, and that's because it's one of the most money-losing films of all time. Although I received D5 from JF, and then Jane Jiu from DNA, but because of its reputation as a box office failure, I have never been interested in watching it. Since the summer of 2003, pirate films and nautical films have become popular. Pirates 1" came out one after another, and I suddenly remembered that I had received such a film. On a whim, I put it into...

      How to say this, at this time, I want to express more than the word limit of short comments. The first movie my mother took to the cinema to watch in my memory, (the Lion King belongs to cartoons is not counted), I can't understand the same, the meaning is far beyond everything, and it can't be classified by scoring. The one who remembers the footage of men and women kissing underwater can understand. This kind of plot is really hard for my 5-year-old...

      When Aunt Geena Davis looked at the nautical chart and ate the biscuits, she "took the biscuits -> bounced off a little strong on it -> ate the biscuits", the whole process was done in one go. And he didn't even look at the eyes during the whole process. At the time, I thought pirates were...

      In addition to not being magical, the plot is not much worse than Pirates of the Caribbean 4. The reason for the failure is mainly because the actors are unattractive, the movements are not exciting, and the art is not...

    Evaluation action

    As an adventure action film, the plot of the film is pure and simple. In addition to the luxurious production, its style is also very unique. Although the details are lacking, as a popcorn film, the film can be considered to have completed its mission. The costumes look great, the backgrounds and props are colorful, the stunts are convincing, the stunts in the fight and storm scenes are satisfying, and director Renny Harlin tells the...
