A fun action adventure film.

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2006)

One of the best pirate films I've ever seen,it has everything in it from damsel in distress,swashbuckling sword fight scenes,a ghost ship maimed by a skeleton crew{now thats what i call a skeleton staff}parrots and The Royal Navy in hot pursuit,now what more could you ask for in a pirate movie.Johnny Depp gives a really good performance as Captain Jack Sparrow,who captained the ship The Black Pearl,only to have it stolen from him and left marooned on a Caribbean Island by Captain Barbosa,played by Geoffrey Rush.Barbosa and his crew are under a curse and they are part of the undead the only way the curse can be lifted is if they have the blood of Will Turner{Orlando Bloom}but by mistake they kidnap Elizabeth Swann{Kiera Knightly}believing she is a Turner.Jack Sparrow wants to recapture his ship and with the help of Will Turner who wants to rescue Elizabeth,they set out to find them.This film has many action scenes and some great special effects,especially when the skeleton crew are fighting the navy.What i also found really good was the way most of the lead actors camped up their performances,making it really funny especially Johhny Depp and Jack Davenport.But i think for me its Geoffrey Rush who steals most scenes,as the unscrupulous Captain Barbosa.
