An Extremely Well Crafted Film

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2007)

I wasn't quite sure how this film would fare with audiences back in 2003 since it was based on an amusement park ride, but Jerry Bruckheimer produces. With the box-office bomb of "The Country Bears (2002)", no one could have expected the great box office sales of this film.
The starring roles were excellent as well, with Johnny Depp in the lead playing Jack Sperrow, Captain of the Black Pearl. Orlando Bloom starring as Will Turner, a blacksmith; and Keira Knightley as the beautiful Elizabeth Swann.
Johnny Depp plays a magnificent pirate, and was even nominated for Best Actor at the 2004 Academy Awards (but lost). It was an excellent film, but the producers were unsure about making a sequel until it made over $300 million in ticket sales.
