This movie is undoubtedly a hit. WARNING SPOILER

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2003)

WARNING (SPOILER IN THIS POSTING) This movie is a masterpiece that is surprisingly produced by Disney. I'm not saying that Disney produces terrible movies. I just haven't seen a Disney movie with violence like this, or a rating like this in a while. I have noticed that in the past few years, Disney has put out movies that have parts that are directed to the adult viewers. Anyway, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a movie with much promise. It takes the viewer into another time and place that seems so real. At the same time that the film came out, the video game also came out. This move was directed to help the movie, since the game has no correlation to the movie, except that you encounter the Black Pearl and the female lead role in the film narrates the game. Anyway, Depp and Bloom gave fantastic performances. Depp did really well as the witty Captain Sparrow looking to get even, while saving his own skin. Bloom fit his part very well. But Rush did extremely well as the Captain of the Black Pearl. I have yet to see him fit his character in a while. He did well in "House on Haunted Hill." The special effects in this film are amazing. Of course nothing too surprising from Disney. I have to admit that the fight in the cave in the end was very well done. When Rush and Depp are fighting in the cave, they jump from dark to moonlight. The effect of them turning from human to undead was one of the best special effects that I have seen in a long time. Most movies that try something like this, generally have the camera farther back so that they do not have to change the character's appearances as many times as this film did. The pirates in the film were amazing. Each one of them had their own characteristics that were obvious to the viewers. Overall, this movie is a have to see for people looking for a ride that doesn't let go.
