Saw it at the El Capitan Theater

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2007)

This film was an awesome beginning to the summer of '07. I saw it at the 3 AM showing. Fun preview show, and sweet. editing. Some amazing stunts, unpredictable. Only Spielberg could have done better. Depp was funny as usual in his role. His ensemble was fun and cinematic.
As most trilogies end up with two thumbs down, this trilogy was as fantastical as an original. While some were left confused after the sequel, PoTC-AWE left me whole just like the original "Star Wars", if you waited until the end.
Make sure you sit until the end of this film, there is an important bonus ending in this one.
