Not bad but not great either

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2003)

I had high hopes for this film but I was a bit let down. The story is great and so is the acting. In fact if it weren't for Johnny Depp's excellently done character then I wouldn't even recommend the movie at all. The biggest problem (and it's a big one indeed) is that this movie is really slow in spots. If they would cut it down at least 30 minutes then it would have been better. Too many spots where it just dragged on and on.

The fight sequences are good but too few. Over all I basically enjoyed the film but not like I had hoped. Personally I think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was better. This movie is worth seeing though it just could have been better. But you'll LOVE Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow. :)
