Good sides: Charlton Heston as Andrew Jackson! Could not have picked anyone better! Now, throw in some damn dirty apes, and the world is perfect. Jean Lafitte was illustrated in a good way(with a REAL foreign accent), but like any other movie based on historical events, they have to screw it up. Bad Sides: I.e., Migs and the Corinthian causing Lafitte to leave. WRONG. The pirates were too "nice". Also wrong. A pirate in that day would kill a priest for gold. Overall, it was an interesting movie, but if you're a historian who wanted it for its educational value, keep looking. I give it a 5.5 outta 10.
