Long...but GOOD

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2003)

I'll get the only two bad comments out first: 1) This movie is just a tad too long. If you cut off about 20-25 minutes - it would have been perfect. 2) To help with the editing, cut the scenes when the humans were fighting the un-dead. After all...THEY'RE DEAD. So, there is really no point in the sword fight in the first place.
However, the movie as a whole is really fun. Johnny Depp, as usual, creates a character that is very unique. I was happy to have him on screen throughout the entire movie.
Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly, and Geoffrey Rush all play their roles in a convincing way.
The best part about this movie is that it never takes itself to seriously - and I credit Depp with most of that. As soon as you meet Jack Sparrow for the first time, you get the feeling that this will be a fun movie. And it was.
