very entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2004)

I watched Pirates of the Caribbean after most of the rage about it had died down so that I could construct my own opinion about it. I had been very skeptical about the whole idea of a pirate movie because it was not a genre that I was attracted to at all. I believe that the movie was very well portrayed on screen by the actors, and the plot was very interesting. I constantly wondered what would happen next. It was not what I had expected from a pirate movie. I had expected the classic, search-for-buried-treasure-on-an-island story. This movie proved my skepticism wrong.
I admit, the movie did seem too lengthy, but I couldn't imagine the movie any other way than it is. Part of my interest in the movie was the multiple themes it had. It was full of action, adventure, comedy, romance, and some drama. I think that this aspect of the film either attracted members of the audience, or turned them off in confusion. The movie must be watched more than once to fully grasp its whole feel. The audience must view it with an open mind for the movie to truly come to life.
The fact that the movie had an array of themes also must have attracted a vast audience. The movie leaves no one wanting. The actors, especially, delivered spectacular performances, and the whole movie was made believable, and reeled me in. It is a very exciting and entertaining movie, and I believe most people would enjoy it.
