The Pirates: À nous le trésor royal!

If you want to casually sit back and watch something light hearted and entertaining, then this is a great movie. Some of the CGI effects are a little average, but I liked the silliness of it all. The music was fun and upbeat, the plot was uncomplicated and straight to the point and the characters were likeable. The fighting scenes were surprisingly really good too and I'm a sucker for sword fights. It had some very random humour that some might find very cringe, but I think we all need a little more cringe in our serious lives...

I just watched ''Pirates'' movie today that was amazing filled with actions and comedy, even the story is awesome. However, I didn't like this one. Truly speaking, I'm just sick of treasure movies as they all are same. And after watching ''Pirates'' I raised my expectations too high and didn't get what I wanted.

Not up to Korean standards. Good cast, but mediocre writing and sloppy directing with inexplicable scene shifts that break attention. It has a few enjoyable moments, but the first film with Son Yi Jin is far better.

Silliness and action galore if that's what lights your fire. This forgoes some of the strengths I usually associate with Korean drama (deft plotting, strong rounded characters, great acting) and just about gets away with it. That's partly because it is not trying to be anything other than what it is: an action comedy. And both the action and the comedy scrape over the bar.

I'll keep it short:

If you're looking for a pirates movie with excellent production values and set designs, great visuals and camera work, some sillyness and funny (perhaps a little bit annoying) character dynamics, nice cast, good amount of fast-paced, comic book action, some historical period setting in South Korea and just get excellently entertained, then this movie is recommended for you.

Somewhere between Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and a Screwball Comedy, this movie is a good watch.

Because of some back and forth time jumps in the storytelling that got me confused, some too silly silliness and some all too well known tropes, I've got to deduct some stars, but still: A highly entaining, greatly crafted action adventure comedy Pirates movie.

Recommended.
