Treasure Island (1990 TV Movie)
7/10
The most faithful adaptation ever done and the best Long John Silver!!!
3 November 2019
I really love Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, l have almost all movies already made and adapted from this book, this one sounds great to me, because it has my movie hero on leading role, yeah, Charlton Heston, the screenplay is too faithful on book, will be redundant talk about the plot, then I will focuse on technical aspects, how the casting were misused, both Oliver Reed and mainly Christopher Lee in around thirty minutes or something no make sense at all, as credibilty they provide the Galion Hispaniola was a true highlight, a perfect replica, all scenes on sea and on the island are gorgeous, also see Christian Bale so young in a fine performance as well, the old Chuck delivers everything as Long John Silver, a priceless and delightful moment to share with their fans, l just had this picture on VHS properly stored on Heston's spot at my bookshelf as all others hundred movies from him!!

Resume:

First watch: 1 / How many: 3 / Source: VHS-DVD / Rating: 7.5
