JUST SAW IT AGAIN...

I saw it in a theater when I was a kid, and loved it. I bought the DVD for a dollar or two out of a bin of bargain movies years ago. Apparently, I have never watched it because I checked and it is still in the shrink wrap.

Saw it tonight on TV, and I still love it. Campy, fun, great music, Genevieve Bujold is absolutely lovely, the pirates are the good guys, decent swordplay, twisted villain, creepy minions, fantastic cinematography, even now, but particularly for 1976, ..., I could go on and on, but it is just a great romp of a film. Title says it all.

So, I can only conclude that you are wrong. How can you hate this movie? Not care for it, I get. Hate it? Hate it enough to come back ten years later to tell the internet that you still hate this movie?

And what's with your pronouns. You say "our" opinion hasn't changed in one sentence which implies another opinion in play unless you are using the royal form. And then you capitalize "me" in the next. What's up with that?

Also, Crimson Pirate is okay, but it is so dated by acting style, limitations in terms of production values and stunts, and cinematography's and the director's utter devotion to the classical acting method..., good heavens, the movie is one small step away from being a cliche of "I am ready for my close up, Mr DeMille."

Not saying the movie's bad, but I won't watch it again. I'll watch Citizen Kane again. I'll watch Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe again. I'll watch The Seven Samurai again. I might even watch Casablanca again even though I am pretty sure I have watched it plenty enough times and won't care if I ever see it again. But Crimson Pirate? Nahhh.

I'll watch Swashbuckler again. Hell, I put it on tonight just for the closing credits music.
