uh, yep

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2004)

This movie was something really different for the movie-goer crowd. It's not everyday that you see a pirate movie. A good motto of Hollywood is do something no one's done before. That's one of the many good points of Pirates of the Caribbean. The fact that it's supposedly based on the Disney World ride is kinda lame, considering it's no much like the ride at all. A weird, deranged pirate by the name of Capt. Jack Sparrow is our hero. At first I didn't think he was reliable to the story line. Actor Johnny Depp claims he derived the character from the lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards. The plot is rather confusing and has one or two holes in it, never mind that at first it's hard to follow. Once you get the gist of it though you become swept away in the story line and the characters. With the main stars Johnny Depp, Geoffry Rush, Keira Knightly, and Orlando Bloom it's rather hard to go wrong, regardless of prederived thoughts. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is one of my favoritest movies- I got pulled into the drama and I fantasied with the characters. I'm not very hard to please so I give this movie eight stars out of ten. They could have made it easier to follow and understand. Other than that...
