In The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Hugh Grant stars
in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain - a
boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High
Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side, and seemingly blind to the impossible
odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals
Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted
Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of
exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they
battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten
young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves
best: adventure!This was a decent watch kids movie. It wasn't
great but it wasn't bad. It' entertaining enough and short enough that you are
ok with it. Not really much more to say about this movie at all.
I would
lukewarmly recommend people seeing this. It's not a must see by any means.
Kids will like it. Adults won't hate it too much. Again - that's really all
I've got.
