Watch Fool's Gold For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Great Film overall

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is far from a bad film...unless you are the kind of person that just can't stand a fun, pulp adventure story.Basically all this movie is is a pulp novel turned into a movie.Had it been made in the Golden Age of Hollywood right up to the 1980s it would have been a hit. Had it been made in the 1990s it would have been a modest success...But it was made in 2008 and the tastes of the world had changed. 9-11 had come and gone and people lost that childlike innocence that is needed to enjoy films like this. The Computer Age dawned and everyone wanted nothing but over-the-top special effects.So fun adventures were shoved to the side and the critics--that still claim to love fun adventures like Captain Blood--turned their noses up at anyone that even hinted towards enjoying them.What you have is a treasure standing in for the MacGuffin, a roguish hero, a little bit of a love triangle, and the open seas.It is classic Hollywood. It is also, unfortunately, they kind of movie we need today and the kind that Hollywood is most reluctant to make.

A good movie for it's type. Similar to the movie 'Into the blue' but with better script. What I liked about this movie is the emotion that you get for history and love. A adventure film that focuses on trust and family. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are a good on screen couple and give clever performances that give you direct feelings.

Fool's Gold is a great movie to watch with the family on a rainy afternoon. It is full of sunshine, beautiful scenery and fun action without gratuitous profanity or violence. Yes, there IS violence insofar that there are some fights and shooting between the good guys (and girls) and the bad guys but then what would you expect in an action movie?I particularly enjoyed Donald Sutherland's upper crust English accent - I say, what an awfully super chap he was don't ya think! As for his bimbo daughter, well she came right in the end too and, I noted in the closing scene, ended up with the East European jerk! I did notice that, in a scene supposedly shot in Key West, there was one shot of a junction between Water Street and Water Avenue. Neither street exists in Key West! But then it WAS all a story wasn't it?Altogether a great romp worth, in my opinion, more than its score on IMDb. Next rainy Sunday afternoon when I've got nothing to do, I'll watch Fool's Gold again and probably enjoy it just as much again!

Yesterday i watched this movie for the seventh time and thought to myself.. hey i never watch movies more than twice and i rarely enjoy watching them over again, and here i am, having great time, watching Fool's gold for the seventh time, something must be wrong, i must like this movie more than any other. And in fact it is my favorite. I feel it, i enter the atmosphere of this naive paradise like world. I love that it is so positive, even when there is a fight and one is trying to shoot the other there isn't any hate or anger. Not to mention that almost any scene from the movie qualifies for an amazing desktop wallpaper. There are big yachts, hot chicks, clear ocean waters, paradise island, treasures, funny jokes and original action scenes. Perfect ingredients for me. I wish everyone to feel so much enjoyment from a movie like this, it is awesome!
