Cutthroat Island sure is something... Sure... It looks magnificent, and that explosion in the end is worth the two hour running time, but think where this one could have been if the studio had ditched Renny Harlin and the then wife, and gone with someone with the chops to pull this off. It's weird how something so utterly stupid can be as entertaining as Cutthroat Island actually is. The dialogue is beyond terrible, the acting is mediocre, and yet… I always end up smiling at the end. Still... I rewatch it from time to time. I'm not sure what that says about me, but maybe Cutthroat Island isn't really all that bad?!?

For a movie that’s supposed to be fun, it wasn’t all that fun. I think a large part of that was due to surface level characters and bad dialogue. It’s a shame, because it looks like they went all out on the sets and scenery which were ultimately wasted on a sub par film.

Great monkey. I'm going to like any film with pirates (especially one that looks this good), but boy, the writing is pretty rough.

Long ago I have seen this movie more times and I still love this movie.

This movie is better than what its critics say. Sure, it does not live up to its budget but it is still a good movie with great filming sets. Watch it and make your own opinion.
