This movie is quite funny at times, but it sure does wear out its welcome. At a full two hours this is a pirate comedy that just doesn't have enough steam to justify itself. And the plot, though nihilistic and duly critical of everyone's greed, just doesn't resolve enough to make Pirates feel like it was worth one's while. I enjoyed myself for the first hour or so, and then I wondered why it kept dawdling. Anthony Powell's costumes are gorgeous, of course, but this movie has problems.
I gotta say, it's sort of funny to watch a movie like this that was such s huge flop but that cost $30,000,000. Not funny, I mean, but just a curiosity. What a weird film. It is actually an enormous, expensive movie, but no one has seen it.
I watched Pirates de Roman Polanski on YouTube.
