This movie was brilliant! Johnny Depp is surely in "a league of his own" by now (as I heard someone at the theater comment while exiting). Anyone who thinks this movie was terrible or lackluster truly is a prime example of what Mr. Barrie talked about in this film -- no imagination! I've read countless reviews bashing the film just because Johnny Depp is extraordinary, but the others can't hold their own. But that is just far from the truth. Half the theater that I saw it in was so wrapped up in the story that no one was eating their popcorn, slurping their drinks, or even coughing, they were that spellbound. It is not just a children's movie -- three quarters of the people in the theater watching it were adults and this was on a Saturday night! Go see the movie and be prepared to laugh, cry, be amazed and have your breath taken away.
