Aye, matie!

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2003)

The pirate movie to end all pirate movies. This one has no pretentions to be anything other than what it is: ideal summer escapism. Get out of the heat, and set sail with Johnny Depp (the perfect pirate!) for this rollicking, funny, swashbuckling ride. Geoffrey Rush is splendidly creepy, the film looks great, and all the players are obviously having a ball. Who would've thought a Disney ride could have ever turned into such an entertaining movie??
