The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure

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.

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?!
