DISNEY: TREASURE ISLAND(1950)
Not as bad as I once thought! Still not an awesome
movie, but fun at times and decent enough! Worth
one watch anyway! C+
A review from IMDb.com:
Probably the first film I ever went to see and was totally
engrossed in it as a growing eight year old. From the
wonderful colourful character of Long John, the mutinous
crew, the heroic Jim and the oddball Ben Gunn and a lively,
not too scary yarn, what else could a growing boy want?
I loved dressing up and adventures as a youngster and
thought that I wouldn't mind losing a leg because I could
then play Long John Silver! I have always held other
versions in contempt, after all, Robert Newton IS Long
John! How dare anyone else even dare to think otherwise?
It's the kind of film that even though I possess it DVD and
video I would always sit down and enjoy it all over again
if it came again on television. In my own favourite top one
hundred. - petangi
