I think - no I am pretty sure that this is the worst adaption of a book i have ever seen! The main question which arises is why this movie is called "Treasure Island" and why the characters have the same names as in the classic novel by Stevenson. You may ask why? - The stories have got NOTHING in common apart from a treasure being on an island and the old crew of the diseased captain who buried it is out to find it. - The characters have got NOTHING in common with the ones in the book. And not only are they different, they are all incredibly flat and dull. - A new main character is introduced (or one of the main characters is exchanged): The big breasted killer Baroness Trelawney. Now you will say: Just because it is different from the book, does it have to be bad? No, it doesn't have to be. It could be just a totally different pirate story having the same name. But even if this was the case, it still is one of the worst movies I have ever seen! One good thing: After having seen the movie, you can still read the book or watch any of the other movies about the topic without spoiling your experience. The story has changed so much that you can watch "L'Île aux Trésors" without a spoiler warning before it. But don't. I can't say anything bad about the actors. Maybe they would have done a good job if only the script was not THAT awful. I am really sorry to have walked into the video store today and spend 3 Euros and almost 2 hours on this piece of c**p. My wife did the only good thing and fell asleep after 15 Minutes.
