Awesome Indie Experience
roseofficial15 April 2024
Really amazed by what they did with this Indie Film, very cinematic and entertaining. Hope to see more films from this actor! The protagonist dramatic action really complemented this film and put that mysterious vibe in it. The sword is a great addition, it reminds me to lord of the rings. One of the best Indie experiences I've ever watched. I do believe that the independent filmmakers are really getting better and more creative! This film is a vivid example of that. I hope you guys enjoy the story telling and the tension and thriller of this pirate's journey. 8 out of 10 because the acting in some parts was a bit off for my liking, and a bit slow phasing, but it was required to be able to understand the storytelling experience.

3 Stars for Effort
ncdminbox9 January 2024
Swashbuckler fan here. Bring on Erroll Flynn! I love adventure, sci-fi, and fantasy; however, I was not a fan of the PotC franchise.

We tried so hard to watch but tossed in the towel at 20 minutes. It was unbearable.

I have difficulty grasping the kudos and awards. The acting is pancake-flat. The concept is cool, but the script is stilted. The camera work is not bad.

Sorry, there was no swash in this buckle. The fight scene on the beach was ridiculous; like a drunk punch-and-roll. But when the blonde pirate is wearing pants with back pockets, belt loops, and a belt that looks like my husband's golf pants, we are off to a rough start.

Hard pass on this one.

Why the high praise??
eckinasia22 February 2024
"Disappointingly, 'The Last Pirate' fell short of expectations, delivering a lackluster and uninspired narrative. The plot felt disjointed, leaving me struggling to connect with the characters or their motivations. The pacing was sluggish, with tedious stretches that failed to sustain interest. Despite potential in its premise, the execution felt amateurish, resulting in a forgettable viewing experience. Overall, 'The Last Pirate' failed to plunder any excitement or captivate its audience. Adding to the disappointment, both the script and acting in 'The Last Pirate' left much to be desired. The dialogue was clunky and often forced, lacking depth and authenticity. And the cast, performances felt wooden and uninspired, leaving me wondering why this film has garnered any praise at all. With such a weak foundation, the actors struggled to breathe life into their characters, resulting in a forgettable and frustrating viewing experience. Not sure why it has such high ratings. Bethinks there is something a foot.

Wanted to like it

Warning: Spoilers
We watched based on good reviews here and other sites. Mostly I'm wondering who wrote them. Maybe the script writers saved their best stuff for review sites rather than the show itself?

I agree with another reviewer who thought the camera work was the best part of this adventure, but it was competent, not special in any way. If it was an amateur then they were punching above their weight.

Script and acting were both well below average which is a shame because the story had promise even if the linkage of time and space is not remotely clear. I think had someone red teamed the draft of the screenplay they could have built more continuity of the story so it didn't seem like random things just happen for no reason.

A new pirate franchise in the horizon
actorajmedina7 July 2023
This 56min indie feature brings us a fresh new pirate action-adventure concept. After watching the movie I can say think Pirates of the Caribbean meets Indiana Jones. I think "The Last Pirate" can perfectly be placed in the realm of "Pirates of the Caribbean" with a little darker and grungier look and feel, perhaps someday it might crossover broadening that world. Or even opening the possibility in bringing another pirate franchise that we so much want and need. There is plenty to satisfy the pirate fans and audiences in this fantastical story, yet leaving space to expand backstories and spinoffs, favoring a series or a feature sequels franchise.

Beautiful pirate movie with a lot of action
makarenko-8187915 April 2024
Who doesn't like a pirate movie? Moreover, who doesn't like an evil sword movie that processes peoples minds? You get both in this one. This is a great concept and idea and can be easily developed into a show or a longer movie with a little move backstory and detail. It was fun to see a cross-over between 2 different worlds : modern and the age of pirates . I always wanted to see how would a pirate interact with modern day people . The open ending definitely gives you a feel that the story will continue( will not elaborate further to avoid spoilers. But, definitely give it a watch ! A good time movie filled with pirates !

Bring Back Great Pirate Films
adamlovesfilms16 May 2024
I think actor A. J. Medina was born to play this role. Cinematography was on point. Great directing. I'm wanting to more about the story. Grab your popcorn and enjoy a good pirate film because we need more of them. Locations were a plus in the film. Shoutout to the musical score. The poster draws you in because that is something people should take pride in. It's sad when you see a movie put so much effort in the production that they forget about a great poster.

For the people in the back, I'll say it again:
