Pop Disney, Pop Culture, Pop History.

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2010)

i didn't rate this. for one thing i did'nt think it would be fair to rate it since i do not have a theater system to do a movie like this much justice. i only have a 30" TV screen and it is not HD or flat screen. i also only have DVD and not Blu-ray. i do have surround sound though. the sound was great. but i'm sure if i had all the other upgrades i would have felt differently about this film.
as it was, i thought it was pretty dull going. the Disney 'Pirate' movies are big screen movies but they are quirky and funnier than this so there are other things to enjoy on a smaller screen. this pretty much needs a big screen to get the full effect.
there wan't much in this to offend anybody(always a good idea for Disney films), it was pretty much aimed at tweens, mostly boys, and was relatively harmless. it pretty much seemed like a lot of pop history and not terribly realistic. although it's not going to fry the brains of kids the way junk like the 'Elizabeth' movies, with Cate Blanchett, most certainly will.
i thought the cheapo historical dramas Disney made in the past like 'Sword and the Rose' or 'Kidnapped', were probably better history and a little more worthwhile than this snoozer.
