Astoundingly Good

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2003)

The acting: brilliant. The action: CGI at it's finest. This is PG-13 for the skeleton crew and it's possibility of provoking nightmares in younger children. If you have kids that are 10 and up, you won't mind sharing the couch. There's no blood. All of the death and violence that you know has to be in a movie like this is so tastefully done it's almost shocking in this day of blood by the gallon. Beautifully filmed and scored, you won't want to leave your seat for anything. This is a wonderful movie from start to finish. Pirates is completely unexpected in it's eloquence and detail. Too many films take their big budgets and blow the film, while this one shows them what they should have done. To say we can't wait until Pirates 2 comes out would be an understatement. We are eagerly awaiting it's release and once you see this one, you will, too.
