I think I would have had a seizure if I watched the segment where the pirate crew lift him through the different ship's levels; that was very dreamy.

One or two impressive moments, but as a whole was just OK.

I’m getting desperate for pirate movies. There’s like none out there. So I’ll watch a silent movie about pirates. The weird thing is this isn’t really black-and-white. It’s more like white and like a light brown. So how would you watch this in the theater? Won’t this be kind of awkward. Well I guess going to the movies was a very high class and fancy thing to do back then. Wasn’t particularly bad but definitely dated.
