Gotta see it!

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2003)

Excellent movie! I don't go to but 3 or 4 flicks per year. I choose to go movies that are "family friendly" and there are not many these days!
Johnny Depp positively nailed this character down. Captain ( and don't you forget it ) Jack Sparrow is a quasi-Keith Richards pirate that Depp used as a sort of "template" for this character. I must say, you could squint your eyes and believe it was Keith.
Bottom line for me is to ask the question: "Was it worth the time and $$ to see this? Or wait for the DVD?" Trust me....it IS worth the time and $$ AND I will buy the DVD. Humor. Adventure. Special effects ( VERY good special effects ). Colorful characters. Makes you want to see a sequel TOMORROW! I hope there is one. Really.
THE movie of the summer IMO. Call me a tough customer but, this flick won me over. Going back with my wife to see it again tomorrow! I havn't paid twice for a flick....EVER either.
