Breath-taking movie, outstanding Johnny Depp

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2006)

When I saw the first movie I thought: Johnny Depp could get a nomination for this one. And so he did. When I saw the sequel yesterday I said to my friends: Depp deserves an Oscar for this wonderful performance! And I do believe it! You should agree that despite all the effects, the story and the funny characters, without Johnyy Depp it would have been just another Hollywood blockbuster. But I certainly do not underestimate the power of Gore Verbinski's production. It will grab you from the beginning and won't let you even in the end, simply because the adventure hardly begins. Now we are waiting for the final of the trilogy, hoping to be even longer than 150 minutes, because lately there are not many movies that can make us both laugh and admire the effects for that long.
