Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was an adequate experience as a first-time viewer

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2008)

Okay, so I just finished watching this first Pirates of the Caribbean movie on ABC which means that there might have been some edits for either content or time constraints in the three hour slot. Nevertheless, I was a little entertained by some of the fight sequences and many of the lines and attitude of Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow character. I'm not completely sure he deserved the Oscar nomination for it but hey, he finally got the public recognition as a result so it's all good. Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush are also adequate here so this movie was a little enjoyable to me though I couldn't completely connect the disparate sequences that seemed to meander throughout. Still, like I said, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was pretty enjoyable so maybe I'll watch this again someday...
