Surprisingly great!

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2003)

I heard the good reviews on the movie, but was a bit skeptical. Hollywood hasn't put out a good pirate movie since before most high schoolers were born. I saw this one because it looked to have some potential and my fiance really wanted to see it. That said... Hollywood got one right.
Pirates had just the right mix of humor, action, and a good story line. Johnny Depp played his part of Jack Sparrow to near perfection. You almost find yourself waiting for his next appearance on screen. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley also gave quality performance. Most of all... the directing in this movie was pulled off expertly.
All in all this is a must see and a must own once it hits DVD.
