Extremely entertaining Pirates of the Caribbean substitute that is a

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of Disney’s most valuable franchises. What started out as an amusement park attraction now routinely fetches hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. Disney intends to continue this success in the future: There are two new Pirates of the Caribbean films currently in development.

Before Captain Jack Sparrow became a box office juggernaut, the Pirate film as box office poison — and that’s largely due to the massive flop of 1995’s Die Piratenbraut aka Cutthroat Island. With a budget of almost $100 million, the film only grossed $10 million.

  • Today on TV: Die Piratenbraut is broadcast tonight at 8:15 p.m. on Tele 5. It will be repeated at 2:25 a.m. Sunday night. Alternatively, you can currently stream the film on Wow (formerly Sky Ticket).

    • The Pirate’s Bride: The big flop before Pirates of the Caribbean

    Scorned by the audience and torn by the critics: With an average of 5.6 out of 10 points, Die Piratenbraut comes off comparatively well here on Moviepilot. Despite all the flaws in the script worth a look but definitely, because it really can’t be said that director Renny Harlin squandered his budget.

    The money may not have flowed into polished dialogues. On the other hand, The Pirate Bride turns out to be a gorgeous film when it comes to equipment and costumes, locations and scenery and of course the action. The Caribbean of the 17th Century comes to life right before our eyes as gigantic adventure playground to live.

    The Pirate’s Bride is a highly enjoyable action fest

    In a way, the forerunners of the delightfully exaggerated action scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean, starting with a wild carriage chase through a port city to the final naval battle, in which Renny Harlin once again pulls out all the stops of his skills and indulges in pure escapism.

    No matter how much the cheesy scenes make you shake your head when The Pirate’s Bride is about to lose itself in the genre’s virtues, here’s an unfolding thrilling adventure, which even comes up with some unexpected twists. As befits pirates, the lines of loyalty are fluid.

    Add to that the feel of a film that’s as vintage as it is progressive. Sometimes Die Piratenbraut gets stuck in role models that seem unhappy even for 1995. At the same time, Geena Davis turns out to be a forerunner of the strong action heroines that we are currently seeing in cinemas. This involuntary contradictions are no less interesting.

    Ultimately, however, Renny Harlin is a long way from Jacques Tourneur’s masterful The Pirate Queen. And the Pirates of the Caribbean films later showed how all the fun elements can be combined even better. But that shouldn’t stop you from taking a short detour to this extremely entertainingto make explosive adventures.
