Good old Disney

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2003)

It was good, as most pirate movies are. And who doesn't like Johnny Depp- what a character actor. (My fiance is convinced every girl has a secret crush on him.) There were some expected Disney undertones: we had the young, boyish protagonist trying to prove himself as a man, the cross-dressing references, and the "Disney Signature Non-Violence" Creed (Not too much blood- just a slice here and there). Here's another interesting thing I've noticed about 90% of all Disney movies: The Female Protagonists have ONLY a father figure. Think back on even the animated ones and you'll see what I'm talking about. All in all, it was highly entertaining and well directed. Be cautious though, if you bring children who are skittish about ghosts.
