Editorial Review:
Pierce Brosnan stars in a new movie version of the classic adventure tale Robinson Crusoe. After killing a friend in a duel, Crusoe flees his native Scotland and takes to the high seas. A storm casts him ashore on an island in the Indian Ocean, where he builds himself a home out of bamboo and goes a little crazy from solitude--until he finds a footprint in the sand that isn't his. The relationship between Crusoe and Friday, a native from a neighboring island, gets a more contemporary (less colonial) interpretation than in the original story; the result is quite enjoyable. Brosnan is particularly good at depicting Crusoe's borderline madness from isolation, and William Takaku gives Friday both dignity and intelligence. The cinematography of the island is gorgeous. --Bret Fetzer

Robinson Crusoe [Region 2] Reviews:
Robinson Crusoe in a new light
2009-08-17 - When I first considered buying this movie I was hesitant due to the fact that it had been remade so many times. However, I bought it anyway being curious about the change of acting venue for Pierce Brosnan. I have to admit I was very pleasantly surprised. I have watched it more than once and enjoy it more each time. While this is not typical of the Pierce Brosnan we know, ie James Bond type. It is a well done movie that the whole family can enjoy together. Of course it is not exactly true to the book, but then no movie is that I know of. Robinson Crusoe, is a story, just that and enjoyable to watch. To see Mr. Brosnan in another realm of acting is great, he shows his numerous talents throughout. I am glad I decided to buy it and look forward to other movies of the same caliber.

I think...
2009-03-04 - ... I would have cast the roles a little differently. But it works with these Actors.

one of Brosnan's better ones
2008-02-11 - good story line, good scenery....interesting...Brosnan is usually such a light weight to me in most movies...too stuffy, bit I really liked his character in this movie...

Crusoe Crucified
2007-11-12 - I am sure Daniel Defoe would spin in his grave if he knew there were so many people so fanatic about his book they would crucify any movie titled after his book that did not follow his book to the letter and be many hours long and bore people to death. Consider this movie is more likely to get people to either read the book or to reread it. Keep in mind after all any movie that followed the book in detail would be longer than all three Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies together. Now that might be a good thing, but consider Peter Jackson did not follow J.R.R. Tolkien's books exactly. Somehow though either he is forgiven, or there are so many fans of the LOTR movies, the book readers figure they better keep there mouths shut about critical summations or they might wish they had.

I suggest to anyone if they want to see an adventure movie that tries to convey some of the hardships that Defoe told of in his book, be sure to rent this. I think you will find the Brosnan is good and the production and story don't damage Mr. Defoe's reputation. I don't see to many decent versions of this story unfortunately and I consider this to be one of the better ones. You may want to check the Brunel version as well. this DVD is sharp and clear with good picture and sound quality. The DVD does not include much in the way of extras.

so so ...
2007-03-29 - average movie. Nice to see Pierce Brosnan with a beard.
Not much action, but how much action can you have stranded in the Pacific?
