Unexpected pleasure!

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2005)

Often I've not been the world's biggest Johnny Depp fan, and any film made by Disney is usually by default corny rubbish targeted at raking in as much cash as possible with no merit whatsoever.
This is very different.
Depp plays a wonderfully camp pirate captain helping the sickeningly annoying (as usual) Orlando Bloom get the girl while battling against the new pirate captain Geoffrey Rush, who mutineered Depp when he was his captain.
Swashbucklingly funny frequently, the highlight is definitely Depp's performance is what is a very enjoyable ride.
