I haven't seen any of the other older versions of Treasure Island, nor do I intend to. I have read the book when I was a kid though and it was pretty good.
I'll start off by saying that the scenarios are a bit random..and there is no clear setting to the show and the storytelling is really terrible. It just starts off without so much as an introduction as to what time period it is and what the world is like at this point.
The actors are not convincing, the background music lacks effect and doesn't take me into the show, the characters fail to impress me, and feel like they are modern looking and not from the 'pirates' time period(they have punk hairstyles for heaven's sake).
And African-origin men who're in authority positions? during British colonial age? really?? I don't think so..
If you wish to compare it to Pirates of the Caribbean, its not even close, although they say this is meant to be more serious, its just boring. Pirates Of The Caribbean 1 and 2 were masterful, and even though the 3rd and 4th were painfully immature, I prefer to rate it by the initial 2 as quite good.
I managed to save an hour and half of my life and stopped watching it midway. You can save 3 and watch something else.
