Title: Treasure Island
Product review: Like a lot of fans of this movie, I've waited 21 years for it to be released on DVD. I still have the old VHS copy of it I bought in 1990 and have just about worn it out from watching it so often. This is the quintessential pirate movie, not to mention one of the great classical novels. I was happy to see when they did make this movie, they used a director who had actually read the book first. From start to last, it followed Robert Louis Stevenson's masterpiece which made it even better. Something I noticed is the detail they put into it, from the authentic clothing to the weapons to even the food (salt pork stew was a staple aboard a ship). As a bonus, who knew that Christian Bale could act ? He was 16 when this movie was first made and he easily held his own against screen legends like Heston and Reed. If you like pirates and adventure on the high seas, this movie is a must have. There's never been a better one made. Ever.
