Worth the price of admission

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2006)

If you are a Johnny Depp fan as I am, you will not be disappointed, you do get to see quite a lot of him as the ever endearing Captain Jack Sparrow. There is a good deal of exposition going on in the movie, so there are some slow parts, although the movie didn't seem long to me. There was enough action and special effects to keep even the fussiest children in the theater still in their sits and riveted to the screen. I saw it with a friend who is not particularly partial to Mr. Depp, and she enjoyed it as well. Sit and wait patiently through the lengthy end credits for a small "easter egg surprise". I definitely think you should see this on a big screen as some of the scenes may indeed lose some impact if you wait to see it on DVD. As Shakespeare would say before every one of his performances began ...To enjoy this performance fully you must permit the suspension of disbelief to take over..in other words..it is a fantasy just go with it and enjoy the ride. It IS quite a thrill ride and I can't wait for the third movie.
