Hook v Pirates of the Caribbean
Pirates… they’re not as fun as they used to be. Instead of yo-ho-ho-ing, singing sea shanties, drinking barrels of rum and inexplicably burying treasure instead of spending it, pirates now prefer actually kidnapping and killing people off the coast of Somalia. At least they’re still a bit of craic on screen. The Rosses take a Long John look at the silver screen’s best buccaneers. Click HERE or the pic above to read this battle at Metro Film Fight Club.

The only real menacing pirate in Hook is Hook. Prates takes this win easy (since it revived a believed dead genre) but we should still salute Hoffman’s awesome performance as Captain James. I think Hook has more going for it than people give it credit for…it’s even got Phil Collins and a cross-dressing Glen Close:P
