Anyone seen it, a feminist friend said it was boaksomely sexist. Women as huge breasted sidekicks to be gawped at and stuff. I was looking forward to taking the dcs, now I don't think I can.

one pirate is, another is a woman dressed as a man so she can be a pirate, and then there is queen vic who is big breasted and big arsed powerfull woman.

sexist isnt the first thing I got from it. i suposse offence could be taken from anything, but maybe the prtrayel of pirates as something good and to aspire to would be stronger than the portyal of woman in the film, but I wasnt offended or worried by that either.

i enjoyed and my dd enjoyed it.

Didn't bother me, there was a female pirate with a spectacular bottom... But she wasn't a side kick. There is a female pirate (also well endowed in the rear dept) dressed as a male in Captain Pirates crew and Queen Victoria is the villain. Not many women at all. As you would expect from a Victorian pirate movie tbh.
