The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure

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.

I had completely forgotten about the other Pirates movie. No not Jack Sparrow - the other Korean Pirates movie this is a sequel to. Now that may not say a lot about the movie, but it is rather saying something about me remembering stuff. And again that is not being mean to the movie - it was nice, as is this.

The effects are more than decent, the story is fine ... and there are Penguins in this one. I mean, what more could you ask for? A bit of inclusivity, like a strong female character? Check on that too ... or is it check ... mate? Not even sure that would count as pirate pun, but here we go.

Korean cinema has really produced some great movies - either dramas or in genre fare. And in this case it is genre, suspend your disbelief, get on board and ... float with the flow.

If you want to relax while learning some korean history, this is your movie. But if you want some mindblowing korean action, this one is not up to your expectation. It is just some light-hearted action comedy. Have fun. The CGI is quite good.

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 watched this movie for Oh Sehun, but the entire cast was great !

I have watched a lot of pirate movies and this one is one of my favorite ones. The movie keeps you entertained from the beginning until the end. There are a lot of fights and adventures throughout the entire movie, not just the end. There is a lot of comedy in it as well. I definitely recommend to watch.
