Jens Scheutjens If you don't concentrate on the acting and the cheap cameras and just watch the movie, it isn't that bad, at least thats what i think. i kinda enjoyed this movie and i normally don't like low budget movies. i wouldn't recommend this movie if your not a b movie fan but if you are, this could be great stuff for you. i gave it 6/10 because i liked it . the plot was a quite standard (i don't know if something like this is has ever been used before but it wasn't a really good and original story), the acting was bad and maybe the evil pirate is one of the worst actors. they really did make this movie because they want to be actors and be in a movie with some director who thinks he is making a great movie. i don't know if it really is that way but i surely could be something like that. the horror in this movie was not scary at all, and its very logic for the budget they had. i don't know why the genre is action but it wasn't an action movie. sorry for my bad English but im from Holland so.. bye

Nicole Alonso OK - so this movie is really lame - I received it as a gag gift at one of those white elephant parties - but I do have to say - when 'Gritty G' sings that Candy Licker song - I laugh every time - it's so bad that it's just hilarious. I still haven't been able to make it through the movie - but I always fast forward to that part just for a laugh. Otherwise - the movie was pretty bad. The acting - the quality - pretty much everything about it. But I definitely agree with the comment below - if you can pick this up for a $1.00 somewhere - you should get it just to watch that one part and laugh - because more likely than not - there is no way you'll want to watch the whole film.

six-s-six I am taking the time and liberty of making CrossBones my first ever comment on the IMDb! Let me say: It sucked. It sucked from the two girl's cup. Thank you for your time and consideration...Oh, wait, I have to type more? OK. This movie is the reason that Y2K thing should have happened. That and the whole "robots harvesting our bodies for fuel" plot that was outlined for us in The Matrix. Simply ask yourself, "Do I like my life?" If you answer "Yes", then please disregard this movie and go about your charmed lives. But if you answer "No", then WATCH AND SUFFER YOU DIRTY MAGGOT! That's right, YOU LIKE BEING TALKED TO LIKE THAT, DON'T YOU?! Freakin' masochists. I will keep a special copy warm in Hell for you, brother. Until then, videe well, my droogs. Videe well...argh!

randylanders Late last night, I sat down and finally watched CROSSBONES. My family had been at one of the hotels where scenes were actually shot (my kids are mentioned in the "Making of" section of the DVD as they were the "scallywags" who helped bury the treasure -- and my wife and I are actually seen sitting behind the director), and we were amused by the whole production. The folks making the movie didn't take themselves too seriously, and it looked as though they were going to have a decent little grade-C flick.We were absolutely disappointed to fund that we were wrong. MAJOR SPOILERS INCLUDED BELOW----- The movie takes a good twenty minutes to set up the premise (including a ridiculous scene where the pirate rows a modern rowboat from one of the little keys islands to another, only to find a topless woman getting sacrificed by the natives). Then we have a montage of scenes where the characters in this movie spend at least another twenty minutes introducing themselves (ostensibly for the SURVIVOR-style show they're producing). The pirate comes back to life in a mysterious manner (one of the contestants spills blood on a rock, and the pirate suddenly comes out of goodness knows where and sucks his blood like a vampire) and proceeds to whack everyone they've spent all this time introducing in the next twenty minutes. The last twenty minutes of resolution involves going back to Ft. Jefferson and getting the treasure amidst the pirate whacking a few straggling SURVIVOR-types and the producer for a typical "shock" ending that was ambiguous at best. -- END MAJOR SPOILERSThe problem with the film was not the acting (not great, but I've seen worse), not the photography (some of it's pretty good in fact), not the production values (hey, it was shot for a direct-to-DVD film, what'd you expect?). It was without a doubt the writing. If you spend twenty minutes setting up the movie and another twenty minutes introducing the characters, then you've wasted thirty minutes on a needlessly complicated plot and expository character development -- having the characters tell us who they are instead of letting the script SHOW us who they are is just really amateurish writing. I usually can find something positive enough to give a better rating for movies of this type, but not this time. I've got to agree that this is one of the worst movies ever made.
