I'm not a fun of the Hunger Games series or tween movies in general. I gave this a chance and it surpassed my expectations. I thought the stroy was well written and the actors not annoying.

This action-adventure chronicles the escapades of a swashbuckling and brutal pirate, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), his shipmates and his rivals in the early 18th-century Caribbean. The series is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and is set 20 years before the events depicted in that literary classic. While bounding the Spanish Main and jolly-rogering across the seas, Flint accepts a young recruit, John Silver (Luke Arnold), to join his crew, while later quashing a mutiny, questing for treasures, broadsiding other pirate vessels and exchanging fire with the ships of the British Navy who have been charged with blowing Flint out of the water.

I ordered this set without any knowledge of the series, nor of the ratings. Just one of those gambles that sometimes pays off! The series is based around a well-known story, but it's far more than "just another pirate" plot. There's the inter-crew grumblings, the political aspects with the land-based fences (sorry, "merchants"), the inland agriculture, and the general trade issues all wrapped up, along with brothels and their inhabitants, a little bit of espionage, and some good, clean pirate shenanigans!
The sets are lovely, the settings beautiful when appropriate, the costumes about as good as I've seen in a pirate series, and the acting is (mostly) excellent. The plot is solid, and drives the episodes along, and while there's the odd slow bit, it usually picks up right after. There's nudity, of course, and it's handled well and in character (and yes, mostly gratuitous, but that's what separates these networks from the main ones!). But the main driver throughout is the pirate story of trying to raid other ships, find Spanish gold, and get the girl and happiness without getting caught (or your leg chopped off).
After I started in watching the series, I did a little digging on the Internet and found quite a few negative comments about the series. I find almost all the criticisms to be ungrounded, and can't help wondering if a story of fun (with nudity and violence) offends the "art critic" a bit too much. Me? I'll take the fun, nudity and violence any day over something boring and stilted!
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the series was, and now will have to wait for Season 2! Well done, all...a pleasant series to watch, and loads of pirate fun!

This Game is overall super fun and amazing! if you are a fan of Super Mario Bros 3. or Super Mario Galaxy you will love this game because Nintendo essentially combined the gameplay elements from both which is genius and fun. This game seems to be a must have for any 3DS owned and Nintendo did a great job on making it feel fresh and on the 3D effects. The added a couple classic suits back to the game like the fire flower and the raccoon which is a joy to see and they also added some new ones like the boomerang suit which is extremely fun! The only thing i don't like about this game is the music they went from an orchestra in the galaxy games and retro remixes of new super Mario bros to just ughh i cant even explain but that's just my opinion and shouldn't be that big of a deal. To me the game is feeling to be a bit short seems like their are only 4 levels + bonus' to every world but like most Mario games it gets alot harder on the later worlds and i haven't played enough to fully judge the length of the game. Even if the game does lack length the secrets and the 3 star coins in each level will have you coming back for more which adds to the almost unlimited replayability that is Mario in the first place. In the end if you own a 3DS do yourself a favor and buy this game its one of the first true must have "Original" titles for the handheld and it doesn't disappoint.

My 5 1/2 year old son loves this game. I'm not sure Mom loves us chopping up storm troopers, but I have to say it's pretty fun. The game is mostly running-and-jumping so it seems about right for smaller people with developing skills, and older dads with limited patience.
