Yo ho, yo ho, this movie is for me!

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2005)

I can remember going to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida as a little kid and there were certain attractions that stood out in my mind. One of the best was Pirates of the Caribbean located in Adventure Land. This swashbuckling adventure into the heart of a pirate raid and imagination. The ride depicts pirates pillaging, drinking, eating, and having what seems to be a successful raid.
In Gore Verbinski's epic tale of a cursed ship and its crew trying to find their lost treasure, johnny Depp stars as the worst pirate ever, Captain Jack Sparrow. He encounters Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) after escaping from an island prison and his love interest Elizabeth Swann (Neira Knightley). The three find themselves in quite the mess.
When the Black Pearl sails into port, all hell breaks loose. Led by Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), these pirates will do whatever it takes to find their treasure. After taking Elizabeth away because she has the missing piece, Will and Jack must find a crew brave enough, or dumb enough to chase the Pearl.
The story featuring scenes from the ride in Walt Disney World and Walt Disney Land in California, causing this film will trigger a lot of memories for fans of the ride. The film also tells a great story with action, romance, and comedy. Depp is brilliant as mumbling, sometimes heroic Jack Sparrow, getting himself nominated for an Academy Award.
Another interesting aspect of the movie that is well done is the computer generated effects like when the pirates are seen in their "true form". This gives the movie an eye candy effect, bringing in more viewers.
Overall, this film is spectacular. Appealing on all levels of cinema entertainment. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a movie not to be missed. In the words of Jack Sparrow, "Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate,". This one is no exception.
