Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Mihai Toma Pirate Captain leads a pirate ship full of clumsy characters who support him in whatever he does. Too bad that he's not much different from them and as a result, he's never won anything in his entire career. So, determined more than ever to win the Pirate of the Year award, he sets out to find the biggest treasure he can find. Unfortunately, his stubborn and foolish personality leads him into various traps from which he must escape over and over again (with the irreplaceable help of Number Two) hopefully achieving his goal until the end. It's an entertaining piece of animation, determined to put a smile on your face with almost everything it does. Regrettably, it's being let down by a quite superficial and predictable story. It is enjoyable throughout the picture and lovely animated making it a good animated comedy overall.

EngAnglo What a massive disappointment. An adventure with scientists? Do me a favour!!!! The opportunity for a swashbuckling piratical caper is passed up in preference for yet another flimsy film where the central character is a glorified wimp played by hugh grant. And the second in command? Another wimpy character voiced by martin freeman. Don't even get me started on David tennant's Darwin, he must be rolling in his grave. For some reason, the better characters like Cutlass Liz and the real Pirate King are relegated to all too brief parts. Overall, this film's main characters are pathetic to the point of embarrassment and an insult to the title 'pirate'. The film is too long and I ended up hoping Queen Victoria would prevail as at least she displayed some mettle.

studioAT For me Aardman films can be split into two categories - the big smash hit films like the Wallace and Gromit film and Chicken Run and then the lesser films like Flushed Away and Arthur Christmas. Sadly this film falls into the latter category.Don't get me wrong, this film has a lot going for it. All the charm we have come to expect from this company is there in abundance and the voice cast is great with Hugh Grant and David Tennant being just two examples though it is strange why Salma Hayek doesn't get more of a mention.Sadly though there isn't enough story to pin all the madness onto and it starts to feel more like sketches around a theme rather than a complete film. It will no doubt entertain kids but for adults I think there are more entertaining Aardman films to view.

estebangonzalez10 ¨You'll see I will be Pirate of the Year! And then you'll be laughing on the other side of your faces.¨I was pleasantly surprised with this movie as I was catching up with the nominated animation films. I hadn't really heard of it before the nominations, but was glad it received the recognition it got because this really is a fun and silly movie that the entire family can enjoy. My favorite animated film of the year continues to be Wreck-it Ralph, but this is still much better than Pixar's Brave. The Pirates is one of those rare animated movies that will appeal to a diverse audience thanks to the subtle and clever jokes and puns that the British have us all familiar with. The animation is very detailed and skillful here considering this isn't a computer generated animated movie; it's stop- motion and was produced by Aardman, the same production company that brought us such great animated films as Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run. Directors Peter Lord and Jeff Newitt also worked in Chicken Run; and in my opinion have perfected their craft here. You can't make a movie about pirates without having some sort of exciting adventure, and this movie delivers a real fun and clever adventure that adults and kids will enjoy alike. It has the typical silly and dry British humor that we all love so much. The screenplay was adapted by Gideon Defoe from his own novels about the pirates. I had a really fun time with all the jokes and puns, and really loved these funny characters. They were as luxuriant as the Pirate Captain's beard.The Pirate Captain (voiced by Hugh Grant) dreams of becoming Pirate of the Year but has failed to do so for the past twenty years as he isn't considered one of the favorites to take home the prize. His crew loves him and remains faithful to him, but are as quirky as he is and are not taken seriously by other pirates. The favorites are always Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven), Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek), and Peg Leg Hastings (Lenny Henry) who have a great amount of booty and treasures. The Pirate Captain knows that in order to win the prize he will need to find a great treasure so he begins his quest with his crew by raiding several ships unsuccessfully. Right when he's about to give up, the Pirate Captain encounters a ship where a young Charles Darwin (David Tennant) discovers that his beloved pet, Polly, is not actually a parrot, but a rare bird that was thought to have been extinct decades ago. He convinces the Pirate Captain to travel to London with the dodo where he promises him great riches for his discovery, but Charles has a hidden agenda of his own and everything is not what it seems. The Pirate Captain's Second Assistant (Martin Freeman) warns him about the dangers of traveling to London, but he insists on finding these riches. In London, the Pirate Captain and his crew must avoid being discovered as pirates because Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) is known for hating pirates. Thus the adventure begins. Arrr. This is the first time Hugh Grant voices an animated character, but he does it masterfully creating one of the most enthusiastic and beloved characters of the movie. David Tennant, Martin Freeman and Imelda Staunton all stand out in this film, but Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven, and Lenny Henry really don't have much screen time here. I really had a fun time with this stop-motion animated film and laughed several times at the clever gags and jokes. I hope more people get to watch this fun adventure because it is a movie that the entire family can enjoy and that is just a commodity that is rare to find these days. So if you have the opportunity to see this don't hesitate and check it out.http://estebueno10.blogspot.com/
