A lot of the movie was mostly traveling, and since there were no ship battles, that made it less 'piratey.' Also, when Blackbeard is first mentioned, he is "the pirate that all pirates fear." And he wasn't as fearful and intimidating as you would think, although the character was played very well. And why was the Catholic man an important character? Sure, he was trying to help save their souls, but I thought that wasn't necessary for the movie, and didn't give me the pirate feel.

But, this movie was still really good.

To be releastic, it was rare for pirates to go into battle. As those voyages you see take somewhere around 10 days. And pirates didnt go into battle unless they needed or wanted to.
