I enjoyed the acting, the scenery and the overall effects and attempt at an enjoyable FICTION pirate movie. This was not a movie about the real Blackbeard, however - even though it supposedly IS about his encounter with Robert Maynard. There were some redeeming qualities, but two scenes seemed totally out of place - one being a rescue scene in town where shades of Errol Flynn appeared. The other was the ending. Though the movie was entertaining at home, the historical value leaves much to be desired as the location of the story during the ending is totally inaccurate. All historical accounts of the demise of the pirate and the ship discuss the location as off the coast of North Carolina - a place much celebrated as the last place of the infamous pirate - not in the Bahamas.
