    Pretty awesome considering it was made in 1935. Although I dare say the fair captain turns into a bit of a tyrant...The fake accents annoy...

    Swashbuckler movie. Another Flynn and Havilland film. One of the better ones. Swordfighting and pirates, this is a fun time.

    Well I am one of the biggest fans of swashbucklers behind my brother I think and this film stars one of my film favorite sword swinging heros, Errol Flynn in the film that made him a star. The supporting cast in this film is wonderful as well and of course the villain of choice is portrayed by none other than Basil Rathbone. The fight they have on the shoreline is iconic. Erich Wolfgang Korngold?s score while not entirely original is very rousing and memorable, it is my brother?s favorite score as well the film being one of his favorites.

    michael curtiz slices to the heart of every adventure lover everywhere with a film with more derring-do than has been done at anytime (until danny kaye's "court jester"). errol flynn and olivia de havilland are little remembered anymore but you can see their definitive DNA in any of george lucas' first 3 outings of the star wars franchise. you think derring-do is easy? nobody's done it better (harrison ford comes close, but that's all) for SEVENTY YEARS, pilgrim, and that blah, blah, blah of the carribean is only a pale, pale imitation. watch the preview clip and feel chills run up yer lousy stupid jello of a backbone! HERE'S FOR REVENGE!!!

    The original, if not the best, Errol Flynn swashbuckler. Decent production values, writing and cast make this highly enjoyable. See Robin Hood or Dodge City for the best Flynn action though.

    The best pirate movie based on the best pirate novel. Best part: Errol Flynn's youthful enthusiasm, charisma, and natural ability at being a pirate.

    Errol Flynn at his most swashbuckling. Olivia de Havilland is beautiful and it's a great movie. I adore them both.

    Fantastic. The sword fight on the beach with Rathbone is worth the whole picture. This might be the best pirate film ever.

    That iconic movie where Errol Flynn sticks his knife in a sail and rides it down. Worth a viewing when you're up for something nostalgic.

    One of the first (and best) starring roles for Errol Flynn, the film is a classic swashbuckling adventure as well as one of the few movies filmed almost entirely in Laguna Beach, California.

    Before seeing any of the pirates of the carribean films. Everyone should check this out. I was thoroughly entertained by this brilliant film. Errol Flynn really captures your attention and so does the action. Wide eyed and gobsmacked the whole way through. See it now

    Very good pirate movie with Errol Flynn. They don't make enough pirate movies these days, but while we're waiting for the next one, watch this.

    The greatest pirate film ever made - a fast-paced, exciting, sweeping, and wildly entertaining film that can be enjoyed by anyone.

    Peter Blood transforms from good doctor to pirate king by way of slavery's bondage. Highlighted by equisite sword play and sexually charged banter this film ranks as the second best after Robin Hood between the charismatic triangle of Errol Flynn, Olivia deHavilland and Basil Rathbone.

    Though an 'old' movie, Erroyl Flynn still leaves women sighing. Remembering the time of the film, it is amazing the affect it has.
    "Smartes man in the Caribbean, eh? Well, I think the smartest man just made the stupidest mistake."

    Pisses on Pirates of the Carribean from a great height! You want your swash buckled? This is the film to see. Rousing soundtrack and a stereotypical Flynn performance (is he even acting?)

    A story about Peter Blood, sold into slavery for helping a sick man who is a rebel. He is bought by the beautiful Arabella Bishop and she turns him over to work with her Uncle's slaves because he has no manners and is not grateful. He escapes and becomes a dreaded pirate. He gets himself a partner, only to find that his partner is breaking the rules and has Arabella, intending to hold her for ransom. Peter buys her and takes her aboard his ship. In the end, Peter returns to the town he escaped from, saves it, and becomes Governor. Very good movie.
