Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: First class entertainment from Australia... Comment: Despite having been filmed by a non-major studio, this is a fabulous sequel to Disney's "Treasure Island". In the present form, the DVD comes out shining. Excellent restoration and vivid colors make it fully worthwhile watching. This is a 2.55:1 widescreen presentation, and as such it is presented here. No cropping of any kind (like reducing it to 1.85:1 or 2.35:1). The soundtrack is in an unbelievably clear and polished Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Stereo. VCI Entertainment (the Label of this DVD) has surpassed itself for this production and this is simply a must buy. Reprising his former role of said Long John Silver, is the brilliant Robert Newton, but the rest of the roles have been recast. Despite of it, they all do a marvelous job recreating what was left of from the previous movie and bring it back now, in these new adventures of high Sea piracy. Due to its format, this is truly a spectacular movie, with wonderful vistas and a sense of grandeur, that in today's movies is usually lacking and replaced by overblown special effects. It is not "Pirates of the Caribbeans", but still highly entertaining and amusing. Thrills are there and not artificial as the ones we get nowadays, but rather subtle in coming, and once they are there, they are truly felt. I can only recommend it. But do not forget its original predecessor. The Disney's version, although in Full Screen (as it was filmed) has to be in your collection, to be able to enjoy this one to the fullest. My urge upon you, the viewer, is to buy them both in a package, since otherwise, you may not fully understand the action contained in this sequel. But even by itself it still stands the proof of time. I like it. I hope you will too... Customer Rating: Summary: treasure island Comment: return to treasure island is a hit. i loved it very mutch as the original with robert newton playing long jhon silver for the disney version.then we had the 30's version with jacky cooper. if you love pirate films get it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great movie but quality on this DVD is not quite to todays standards Comment: A very good pirate movie for the whole family. I had not seen this movie since I saw on TV in black and white as a kid. I was pleased with the color, the script, cast, and direction. However the it could have been remastered better to remove the old film defects and reduce the grain. Customer Rating: Summary: good movie, bad copy! Comment: good movie, bad copy! I ordered it because it was cheap. However, picture quality is POOR; fuzzy, washed-out, blurry. It looks like it's recorded in superlongplay. The shortness of the tape would seem to confirm this. Customer Rating: Summary: Disapointed Comment: I was very disappointed in the quality of this DVD. I would not recommend anyone buying this DVD until the quality is back to that of a professional recording. More Reviews
