A review Complementing Pirates of the Caribbean

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2003)

This movie was excellent. Throughout the entire movie my friends and I were totally absorbed. We've needed a new Swashbuckling movie, a good one that is, for a long time, and this did it. I had my doubts because it was a disney movie and i was afraid they would "disnafy" it, but i didnt realize until someone pointed it out afterwards, that there was no cursing, MINIMAL gore and sex, Disney pulled off the pirate look well.
It was an exciting drama, with fun action (and not just action for the sake of action, and im very tempted to call it a comedy as everyone in the theatre was laughing. Excellent performances by Orlando Bloom, who was wonderful as the heroic-romantic lead (with a very good Johnny Depp impression) and of course Johnny Depp, who totally made this character come to life, and was the most entertaining part.
