Movie review: “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” (VIDEO)
Gag-heavy ‘Misfits’ is stop-motion at its best
Someone must have dared the makers of “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” to dream up a swashbuckling adventure more bizarre than the entire “Pirates of the Caribbean” series.
They succeeded.
Sure, the Johnny Depp films have zombies and ghosts and krakens, but they don’t have Queen Victoria conspiring with Charles Darwin to steal a not-quite-extinct bird from a gullible pirate captain named The Pirate Captain (voiced by Hugh Grant).
