Is the treasure really gold or the friendship built along the way?
I was pleasently surprised by the film, read the synopsis and meh just for the cast I'll give it a go. However it was far from that, a great adventure comedy and really engaging.
Acting was solid as expected, key reason why this film was a very funny one, facial expressions and tones were spectacular.
Kwang Soo was here so I expected this to be wayyy lighter than the original pirates, Which it does. this can be a bad or good thing but in this case it was good, if it leaned more to the serious side, It wouldn't have the same impact.
Production was an eye candy, the CGI and cinematography was well done, comparable to western pirate films.
It does get slower as it progresses, 140mins was too much.
Don't expect anything mind-blowing in terms of plot, cheesy ending, just the way you'd expect it, no plot twists or shocking revelations.
Something to take note is reading carefully the origin given at the beggining, will really come in handy as the problems start to occur.
I'm a sucker for action comedy movies, adding a pirate genre didn't hurt, overall I enjoyed the childish comedy and hunt for treasure, would have wanted to seen more Chae Soo Bin though.
