Better than you might think...

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2003)

I went to this movie because it was someone else's turn to pick and I ended up really liking it! Yes, it's an action flick with moments of lovelorn cheese, but if you're a fan of Johnny Depp's work you'll love it. He's amazing in the role of Jack Sparrow, making a character who in other circumstances you might not like, 100% loveable. Second to Depp is Geoffrey Rush who, frankly, I would watch fight his way out of a paper bag for two hours; he's just that good in everything. He's very good in this as well. If you keep in mind that this movie is supposed to be FUN and that it's based on a DISNEY theme ride, you'll enjoy it very much. CG-wise the "pirate underwater" scene is very cool and that's all I'm going to say about that.
