2.0 out of 5 stars Captain Kidd, August 21, 2000
This review is from: Captain Kidd (DVD)
Not the Sea Hawk or Captain Blood by any means,but still enjoyable.With a cast like Laughton,Carradine and Scott it can't be too bad.Historicaly not very accurate and a little hokey.But then again it doesn't claim to be factual.Laughton is great as the scheaming Kidd and Scott as the hero is his usually heroic self.If you are a fan of this type of film,and i am,you will enjoy this picture.

3.0 out of 5 stars ROAN EDITION REVIEW!!!!!, October 31, 2010
By 
This review is from: Captain Kidd (DVD)
The low rating reflects the very poor job Roan did on this film. This was advertised as being from a 35mm original print. To begin with it was a re-issue by Lippert with all references to the original distributor, United Artists, removed. Even worse, it has been edited approx. 6 minutes and has splices 3 times during which bits of dialogue are missing. Having compared this to another print with the missing footage and correct titles on a 50-movie pack, I would advise staying away from the Roan edition until something better can be found.

4.0 out of 5 stars As Good As This Film Gets In Visual Presentation To Date, February 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Captain Kidd (DVD)
There's never going to be a pristine version of this movie til it's remastered...presuming that original negatives are available and
that's even possible...until then this is the best version of the movie I've seen...it's watchable...even on a big screen TV...and you
are able to suspend belief and watch Laughton create another in his seemingly endless supply of historical characters bigger than life.
I'd forgotten what a stone face Randolph Scott was. Taking great liberties with the historical facts this is a very entertaining
movie in its own right. If you don't expect hi-def clarity and know the limitations of the original medium you won't be disappointed.
