Great summer movie fun

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2003)

This movie is what summer films should be all about. Fun, good plot (even if it is based on a Disney ride), great special effects. Johnny Depp should be nominated for an academy award for his performance. He was the movie! My granddaughter and I saw it 6 times this summer (I know, I know, but what fun it was!) and I have to admit I saw it a couple of times with other people. Now mind you, my granddaughter and I are huge Lord of the Rings fans, and this movie cannot compare that way, but it was a terrific, fun way to spend a rainy summer afternoon. Everyone should see it at least once, just to see Johnny's marvelous makeup! HA!
