dokkelly-120-943270 I watched this movie during my night shift (yeah security wise nothing really happens at night) and I had a great time. I'm a big Aardman fan, I love Wallace and Gromit, Chicken run and even their more obscure stuff like Angry kid. I can safely say this is just as good as all the stuff I just mentioned. The wit, creativity, flawless animation and fun make this definitely one to at least check out. Not many people talk about this movie so that's why I'm writing this review. Do yourself a favor, if you're a Aardman fan like myself give this a watch. You won't be disappointed

invisibleunicornninja This movie is very entertaining and effective. The animation is very well done, the story is interesting and funny, and the characters are well portrayed. There are some really dumb moments that hold this movie back, and it does get a bit boring at times, but overall I would recommend this movie. Be warned, miscommunication is used as a plot device several times. Not enough of them are funny, and I can see how that would piss you off.

Adam Foidart "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" is very funny, ranging from slapstick humour to subtle puns and historical references in the background. The film looks amazing and once it comes out on home video, it will be one of those films you can use to show off the difference in picture quality between Dvds and Blu-rays. There is so much attention to detail paid to every frame of the film that even if the main joke isn't doing it for you, there's something in the background that will make you laugh or catch your eye. The story isn't as strong as expected from Aardman studios, but it's still so much fun that it's an easy recommendation for children or adults. (3-D theatrical version on the big screen, May 22nd, 2012).

SnoopyStyle It's 1837, England rules the seas with the exception of pirates around the Caribbean. The Pirate Captain wants to win the Pirate of the Year Award after 20 years of losing. He and his weird pathetic crew must out pirate the best out there including Black Bellamy, Peg Leg Hastings and Cutlass Liz. The other pirates make fun of them. Then they capture Charles Darwin and his ship. Darwin notices that the Captain's parrot is actually a DoDo.From Aardman Animations, it has the same look and the same earnest sarcastic sense of humor. However it's a bit repetitive after awhile with the constant stream of similar tone jokes. The title is horrible and they need to give the Pirate Captain a better name. The movie picks up a bit more comically with Darwin. The Captain and Darwin have some good fun chemistry. The comedy however may not be everybody's taste.
