It's inconsistent, predictable, the characters have no development, and it's the most fun I've had since Raiders of the Lost Ark

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2003)

This is perhaps one of the most uproarious movies of the summer. It's what it is: a swashbuckling adventure movie with beautiful damsels and heroic sailors. Don't go into it and want to tear it apart with errors is facts, continuity, etc. Go into it and expect a good old movie time. Orlando Bloom is great as a hero, recalling Errol Flynn's Robin Hood. Geoffrey Rush is a creepy villian, but he also has a motivation that is understandable and makes you sympathetic to him and his crew of pirates. And now to Johnny Depp: he steals the show. I almost wanted to see a movie just about him. His lines made me laugh out loud, and his stature, a gawking demeanor he carries that similar to a drunk, but he's sober, is a riot. There is just to much to say about his character. I think Hulk deserves Best Editting at Oscars, and Depp should win Best Supporting Actor. Yo-ho-ho-ho, a pirates life for me!
