Muppet Treasure Island
12 years ago
General
I saw this movie again recently and it was way better than I remembered. The production quality and the humor of the movie is fantastic. It also seemed very much like a prequel to Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean"
When I saw the into of "Muppet treasure island" I was already thinking that it was like "pirates" but when I saw the character Long John Silver (played by Tim Curry) my mind was totally blown. Long John Silver is almost exactly like Jack Sparrow! Johnny Depp totally ripped of Tim Curry!
The first "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still a classic and a great movie that I love but somehow, I kinda wish that Tim Curry was Jack Sparrow now.
Johnny Depp said that Jack Sparrow was based on Keith Richards of The Rollings stones but I have my doubts.
I would also like to see Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow.
No offense Johnny Depp

I'll see anything Tim Curry is in. I love him as an actor. For Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow I did find it funny they got Keith Richards to play Captain Teague, aka Jack's dad.

OP
Heck yea! I love Tim Curry! I love him as a villain. Tim Curry was an awesome devil in "Legend" but he can be silly at the same time like in "Treasure Island" and "Rocky Horror". Even though I was kinda hard on him, I like Johnny Depp too.
