The Pirates

Post by hotsake »

Like many Korean films this movie suffers from having drastic tonal shifts. The film opens with the introduction to the two main leads, the female pirate, whose introduction is handled in a straight forward action tone, and the male bandit, whose introduction was bleak, dark and dramatic. And then here is where the problems start. The bandit from the second introduction on is played almost completely for laughs, the pirate character stays pretty much complete straight laced for the entire film. When the two protagonists are in the same scenes the tone shifts again and feels like your watching a Prates of the Caribbean rip off. The are pluses, lots of them actually. The CGI is well done in not always believable, the acting ranged from really good to excellent. Overall this is a fun film that will entertain fans of both Korean cinema and fantastical action adventures.
