The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure

_"He lived a spiritless life and died without achievement. All he left was this spoon."_

This movie is so funny!! I thought the original film was too good for a sequel to live up to it and also didn't think any pair of actors could give us the same joy that Kim Nam-gil and Son Ye-jin did, but I'm extremely pleased to say that I was wrong on both counts.

Also this is on me but I keep forgetting how extraordinary Kang Ha-neul's acting chops are! (Han Hyo-joo is spectacular as always but I never expect anything less from her haha.)

And Kwon Sang-woo is in this too! I haven’t seen him since his teeeeeny cameo in _A Year-End Medley_.

Other very important thoughts expressed by my brain during the film:
- THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVER OMG.
- “You’re prettiest when you’re mean” lollll the flirting in this is divine.
- THERE IS ALWAYS A WHALE LOL.
- They’re interrogating a [spoiler]penguin[/spoiler] skdlhfdsl.

Kwang-soo the pirated king finds #OnePiece ---

Wait Am I watching the anime OnePiece or a Korean movie ...

I am here to comedy that Kwang-soo brings ; now he has quit Running Man I a excited he will do many such roles. Hyo-Joo has a charismatic roles as the captain ; Ha-neul ; greatest swordsman and a fool was fun riot .

Enjoyed multi-starred movie and happy netflix started releasing them quicker now !

As quite a few others, I watched this exclusively because Sehun was in it lmfao. But I genuinely loved it — would’ve if he wasn’t in it too. Korean humor rarely does it for me, but in this one it did. I personally loved the bit about the penguins! Pirates, the humor, the fantasy element all gave such a Pirates of the Caribbean vibe, what’s not to love?!

I'll keep it short:

If you're looking for a pirates movie with excellent production values and set designs, great visuals and camera work, some sillyness and funny (perhaps a little bit annoying) character dynamics, nice cast, good amount of fast-paced, comic book action, some historical period setting in South Korea and just get excellently entertained, then this movie is recommended for you.

Somewhere between Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and a Screwball Comedy, this movie is a good watch.

Because of some back and forth time jumps in the storytelling that got me confused, some too silly silliness and some all too well known tropes, I've got to deduct some stars, but still: A highly entaining, greatly crafted action adventure comedy Pirates movie.

Recommended.

Very entertaining. Definitely a " Jack Sparrow" type movie. Some good fun and an easy to watch movie. :thumbsup_tone1:

I really liked the first one. Not really this one. There are some nice moments, the fight choreography is mostly good (a few too many cuts) and luckily the story and characters get better as the movie progresses. I even started to like the main characters towards the end. But it was not enough. Most of the time I was just thinking that I should just turn it off and watch the better first one.

I’m sorry but I hated it. Plot way too fast paced, characters hollow without soul, comedy for 5-year olds. Only good thing was the fighting scenes, just no

The vfx are very obvious and some illogical scenes yeah. But decent

One of the best Pirate themed movies in a while and one of the better adventure movies in general! [spoiler]But it _REALLY_ could've done without the penguins. o_O[/spoiler]
