Short Review

I'd not read the book, nor seen any other version of this film so I had high expectations, unfortunately I was disappointed by the film and the story. The ending of the story is incredibly disappointing and the film was just, well, not very piratey and I'm sure that treasure island isn't supposed to be in Cornwall yet the whole film looked like Cornwall. I suppose I'll be watching another version soon to see if it gets any better.
