A Pirate's Life for Me!

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2006)

Ahoy, mates! You all need to go see this movie NOW. It is that good. In fact, it is as good as the first one, if not better because it is funnier AND it has great action scenes.
The cast is back (with a few surprises) and their performances are as engaging as they were the first time around. I liked Johnny Depp better in this movie - his character shows more dimension.
Orlando Bloom still reminds me of Errol Flynn, incredibly handsome and dashing on screen; the camera loves that young man. Keira Knightley has more to do in this movie and she delivers.
I don't want to reveal plot points. I do warn you, though, that young children should not see this movie because it has scenes that would be scary to them (I should know, I am an Elementary School Teacher).
The only complaint I have is that the movie could have been shorter. The end of the movie is FABULOUS and well worth the price of the ticket.
Verbinsky has done his job well - I cannot wait 'till next summer! Savvy?
