Shiver me timbers

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2003)

Superb. An evening of swashed buckles and derring do in the finest tradition of the Hollywood Pirate epic Depp, Bloom and Rush are all excellent, the locations perfect, the script amusing and intriguing, the score rousing and the special effects delicately supreme. Even the Redcoats and their officers turn out to be heroic (thank god Mel Gibson didn't get a role in this film or he'd have joined the crew of the Black Pearl and slaughtered the redcoats one and all). Love the ending.
Go and see it, it's an experience.
