Much appreciated

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2004)

After the release of Pirates of the Caribbean, my trust was renewed in the production talents of Jerry Bruckheimer. This movie was no different. Bruckheimer and Turteltaub have taken a well-written script and turned it into an action-packed adventure well worth a 10. As a history major, I found the connection to the past quite fun, as well as a nice change from the pointless plots of many other action films. One of the things I appreciated most about this movie was its cleanliness. Not only did it have minimal swearing (if it had any at all), but the sexual themes that are prevalent in many action movies were not there this time around. For that, I am grateful.
