Full of fun.

Rating: Null/10 (24 December 2014)

This is my first review and its a relatively easy one. POTC: Curse of the Black Pearl is a thrilling introduction to an under-appreciated franchise. The best of the franchise in my opinion with an exciting cast consisting of Johnny Depp at the helm in his now iconic role. The back and forth of Depp and the brilliant Geoffery Rush as Captian Barbosa at the center keeps you intrigued to see who ultimately wins. The supporting performances from Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom as well as smaller characters like Mr. Gibbs played by the believable Kevin McNally makes you feel like you are viewing authentic pirate situations. The visuals and cinematography help bring this film to life.Twists betrayals bar fights pistols and gunpowder fill this enthralling epic. With huge box office success five Oscar nominations including Depp's firs, there is surely no 'curse'on this satisfyingly great adventure pic.
