(Fred Auerbach, 2009-10-05) I have three copies of this film. A Blu Ray, a SD DVD and on tape. It is full of humor, excitement, and reminds one a little of an old Robin Hood type of movie. Geena Davis is superb as the heroine, as is the rest of the cast of villains. Frank Langella is a perfect enemy for Geena. I guarantee you will love this movie. Fred Auerbch
(Richard C. Drew, 2009-09-30) If you've ever seen the classic Errol Flynn pirate flicks (Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk) you'll immediately see that the writers of Cutthroat Island were fans. It's often tongue in cheek, and Frank Langella is the perfect nemesis. Sure, after watching it again it seemed a little cheesy. Some of the sword fights with Geena Davis were poorly done - more often than not it was the stunt people moving too soon. Here cocky comments - cute the first few times. Trite after a dozen. Annoying after twenty. It's more realistic than many other pirate flicks. When fighting up in the sail rigging, the two battling captains have to keep one hand on the ropes and are obviously fighting for balance. Unlike the last Pirates flick when the fighting foes just walked around on top of the sails and masts while the ship bounced, bobbed and spun around under them, with no fear of falling. The BluRay: 7.1 sound - sounds great! Video quality - fantastic. Extras: Minimal. Look, for ten bucks you can't go wrong!
(Christopher Mason, 2009-09-29) Picture is awesome, and the sound is amazing. Aaahhhhhh, 7.1 sound ,this is what home theater is all about!!!
(Jim in Rochester, 2009-09-17) FOr the reputation it got as one of the biggest box office bombs it really is an entertaining movie. It has action, humor and sex appeal. The PQ and AQ of this disc is excellent. The new sound mix explodes. My only complaint was the price. Right after I purchased it the price dropped and Amazon no longer price matches their own products. I would have had to return and repurchase. With B&M store having a better price policy I am now using Best Buy and WalMart a lot more.
(Claudia Harwart, 2009-09-17) For any Pirate-film-fan this blu-ray is a must have. Cutthroat Island is one of the best Pirate-films ever made with all elements necessary. Finally the film has been released on blu-ray - and I didn't hesitate to buy it. I can recommend this blu-ray disc to anyone, who likes to watch Pirate-films that are made in the fashion of the good old pirate classics - humor, action, costumes, decoration....and everything in high definition sound and picture - don't miss this one!
