Some Complaints

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2004)

I was not thoroughly impressed with Pirates of the Caribbean, as I had heard several glowing word-of-mouth reviews. I have to admit that Johnny Depp's performance was quite hilarious and was the best thing about this movie. One complaint is that the movie is way too long. They could have easily chopped 30-45 minutes from this film without sacrificing anything. Another complaint is the level of violence. I am a horror fan, and certainly am not against violence in the movies. However, the impression this movie gives prior to watching is that it is a Disney-esque film. I think the PG rating is too leniant and the given the stabbings, shootings, and blood that abound in this film, they should have raised it. 6/10
