Not bad, not bad.

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2006)

We got to the end and the wife said she hadn't enjoyed it, but I thought it was rather good. I guess this sums up what was something of a curate's egg of a movie - good in parts. It is of course spectacular beyond belief, with plenty of amazing action being played out against the most vivid backgrounds, but I guess the only negative was a somewhat convoluted story, and slightly unintelligible dialogue from Davy's Crew (the molluscs seemed to get in the way a bit). But don't let me put you off. The whole thing is well worth your time and money and I was especially amused by one of Cap'n Sparrow's spectacular escapes - good use of fruit. Good sea monster too. Go sea!
