Feminists may want to revisit this movie. It stars Geena Davis as the best pirate in wherever the heck she is. Of course, the problem with pirate movies is that you need to build entire pirate ships or make them out of CGI. It's not like making a movie about 7-11. Those are everywhere. Just point a camera in any direction and you'll probably hit a 7-11. If I could sum up all of the critic's reaction to this movie, I'd sum them all up into one sentence. That sentence would be: "this movie is just dumb."
This movie cost ninety eight million to produce, which back in 1995 was a lot more money than we think already think it is. That being said, it only made ten million dollars. What happened? Did the profits get robbed by pirates?
