One of my favorite pasttimes

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2004)

It is unusual in this day and age to find a fun movie the whole family can enjoy. The violence is what I would expect in a pirate flick, the language was extremely tame ( damn, hell) Geoffrey Rush was outstanding. I've a place in my heart for a good old fashioned bad boy. Some of his comments are hysterical you can actually BELIEVE he is pirate. The mannerisms, the faces, the chases, the ARRRRR he has it down pat. I rewatch it for his performance. Johnny Depp is delightful and warm and quite lovable for a pirate. He's eye candy anyway (from way back in the 21 Jumpstreet days). Some of the swashbuckling scenes were a little lengthy for me but the musical score is powerful and proud and carried me through. I love Geoffrey Rush
