without jack sparrow...

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2003)

ok to narrow down the effects, wathc the movie and take jack sparrow out of it... doesnt work at all well. the movie revolves and makes good, with one character,
Captain Jack Sparrow. now the others round off a good cast... but what story is there. i love pirates, the ride, and more faith in this movie then anyone. i remember hyping this to death, and staking my life that this will be THE MOVIE of the summer and of 2003. no one would listen to reason. i said look bottom line, johnny depp and orlando bloom, what girl doesnt like them. pirates, who doesnt like em. a fun adventure it will dominate. only response i got, "i dont know its based on a ride..." well yo ho, turns out i was right again, but wrong in the sense how much personally i would like it, has the themes i would use, but it really goes nowhere throughout and is back and forth. so while the atmosphere and sparrow are to die for elements, and the best to watch. the rest of the movie suffers, from stereo-typical plot points. there's no rush involved, and you could walk out of the room, and come back later, and despite the cast moving around for awhile, you'll come back and be in the same place.... trust me it happened. oy. but nice try i give them, adapting a ride, just you could of done a billion things, and dont see how they settle. lucky us, for Captain Jack Sparrow was there to save the day, whether he wanted to or not, savvy?
