Shiver me timbers!

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2003)

Since I have been on the ride 'Pirates of the Carribean' at both Disney World Florida and Disneyland Paris I was very intrigued to see this movie since it is an adaptation of this classic ride.
It is absolutely great! Its nice to see something original for a change rather than yet another sequel or 'superhero' movie. The sword fighting sequences are wicked and the special effects of the cursed pirates add a great eeriness to the film. All the cast are great but Johnny Depp probably steals the film in his hilarious portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow.
This is a 12A in the UK and pretty suitable for everyone although I wouldn't recommend taking a child under 7 as they may find some of the scenes very distressing. Don't miss this one!
