 2.5/4 |
While the movie is harmless, it lacks a certain spark to be really entertaining. Lots of the jokes are flat and obvious, without being awful. Full Review |

Not only did I want to go to sleep the entire time, but I wouldn't watch this movie again if you told me my life depended on it. Full Review |

 3/4 |
Ahoy! There be decent family fare among the January junk seas! Full Review |

As I wasn’t expecting much, I must say that Pirates doesn’t disappoint. Full Review |

...harmless fun for small kids... Full Review |

Young children appreciate all the bouncing shapes and bright colors (speaking of which, you might wonder why Robert the Terrible is a darker shade of green than any of his relatives), but anyone over six will be bored early and often. Full Review |

2/5 |
I kept hoping someone would arrive on the scene with a Veg-O-Matic and put a stop to it. Full Review |

3/5 |
Like steamed veggies: Good for you, but bland. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
The notion of no arms, especially when they're sword fighting and the swords just sort of float in front of their bodies, seems like a long way to go to establish unique cartoon characters. Full Review |

While there's adventure and clever gags... I could have done with a little more silliness and some more songs like 'The Hairbrush Song' and 'Bellybutton.' Full Review |

|
B- |
The colorful but limited animation can seem static on the big screen, but the gentle humor and equally gentle lessons will appeal to younger children and long-time fans. Full Review |
||
|
C- |
It's full of mild goofiness and equally mild messages about believing in yourself. It's all good-natured enough. It just isn't actually good. Full Review |
||
|
|
Will probably bring more tiny buccaneers into the VeggieTales fold, but some adult viewers may feel like walking the plank before the film is over. Full Review |
||
|
C+ |
I have to admit that this animated VeggieTales endeavor is far more entertaining and artistically competent than anything offered in the last two Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
The trio learns that heroes come in all sizes, hardly a revelation to audiences of any age. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
This is no savvy Toy Story. It's a boilerplate plot like one you might find in any morning cartoon. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
It's a much better film than the last big-screen Veggie outing, with good-looking character design, catchy songs, a wisecracking script and more skillfully disguised messages. Full Review |
||
|
0.5/4 |
I've seen more exciting no-smoking announcements in theaters. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Aside from the fun musical scenes, the script is pretty lackluster, and the animation could generously be described as old-fashioned. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A gentle adventure-comedy that sails a heroes' journey so straight and true that Joseph Campbell would smile. Full Review |
