Wow - Wow and more Wow

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2006)

it's been a long long time since i attended an "opening night" movie where it was necessary to buy tickets in advance. then observe ushers (what's an usher? when was the last time YOU spotted an usher?) asking if "that empty space was reserved". i've noticed a great deal of the comments are based on the reviewer's advanced expertise in movie making. heck, i had to look up CGI (computer generated imagery) as it was mentioned in 8 out of 10 postings!!! well i'm no expert...i just like going to movies. so from the average movie goer - here's my opinion....the movie was AWESOME!!!! several times i found myself being pushed back into my seat from the surprise action. the sword fight thingie was a bit tedious but was interspersed with funny reality (as in their not being able to stand once the water wheel flipped on its side). capt jack sparrow's terse comments/observations were totally real and often funny...it would be the rare person who couldn't relate! others may pick apart the story line but it worked for me. come the end....the theater goers applauded. i truly can't wait for the third (and final?) sequel. the locations - Bahamas, Dominica, St Vincents & The Grenadine Islands....oooh la la...
