Johnny Depp is the King as Captain Jack Sparrow

Rating: 7/10 (3 September 2006)

If you want to watch this movie then just watch it for Johnny Depp having a ball as the wonderful Captain Jack Sparrow.
I love this series and am looking forward desperately for Part III.
Johnny Depp looks like he's having fun playing this character and it shows.
My one beef with this movie is that Jack Sparrow was not on screen enough, as I guess they had to focus on the other actors as well since the first movie was such a success and I am sure it is written into their contracts that they need loads of screen time.
Is it me or is Orlando Bloom one of the luckiest actors around? LOTR trilogy, Troy, Elizabethtown, Kingdom of Heaven & Pirates. He has worked for Peter Jackson, Cameron Crowe, Ridley Scott and Wolfgang Petersen a veritable who's who of Hollywood directors and I am still not convinced he can act well.In any case, his scenes in the movie are mostly action scenes and thanks to the director they are quite imaginative and fun to watch.
Bill Nighy does well... and Keira Knightley is sexy with her throaty English Accent but she is still too thin.
