Nice costumes and sets, so-so plot

Rating: 4/10 (20 July 2003)

Well, I liked the costumes and the sets. You could tell they spent alot of money making this movie. The skeletons were fun. But as far as the plot goes, half the time it just felt like this confusing mess. And while I loved how Jonny Depp looked in this film, I didn't like the way his character was written. I felt like I was watching Richard Simmons in a pirate costume! I think I would have liked this movie better had it been more of a horror film instead of an adventure movie. I think it would have worked scary. I would have liked Depp's character to have been tougher. I guess this movie is okay if you like pirate films, but it just wasn't what I wanted. I would love to see it redone with alot of horror, but I know I'm dreaming. So, see it for the costumes, but don't expect it to be a great film.
