good fun pirate movie that could have been trimmed...

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2007)

I really don't get all the "critic" complaints re too many story lines; has anybody picked up a book, any book lately? Granted, just a little creative editing, could have cut this down to a more manageable time. For example, after you see Keith Richard's role, ask yourself "What the heck did that add to the overall movie?" Moreover, we know the pirates are on a ship, things that float on water. Cut back on the grandiose water shots, focus on the acting and action. Sadly, I am forced to abandon my own advice regarding the virtues of brevity, as the site will not accept my review without my adding additional, unnecessary words, submitted in this sentence. Note to Hollywood; next time no good editors (cutters!!) are available, give me a call... Neverthelss, go, enjoy, have fun!!
