So an unlikely alliance is formed to save his ship and Elizabeth Swan.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

Considering this is based on a ride in Disneyland I think they did a great job adaptating it to the screen. The characters, the story, the little inserts from the ride, all clever. The transition from human to monster is flawless. The cast does a great job, I love Jeffery Rush's pirate voice. All and all a great movie, 9 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I got to admit I am impressed with this movie, I agree with what Zedd said and even though some of the fight scenes run a tad long, I think it's a great flick, worth watching and owning. 9 STARS as well.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ CAST (The cast does a great job.)
+ CHARACTERS (The characters are likable.)
+ STORY (The story works.)
+ SCENES FROM RIDE (Recreating the famous scenes from the ride is brilliant.)
+ EFFECTS (Amazing.)

...AND FINALLY...

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- FIGHTS (VOLTRON felt some of the fight scenes ran a tad long.)
