Outstanding Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2003)

This was clearly one of the best movies to come out this summer. Evrything about it was great - the acting, the special effects, the story, and last but not the least - the direction by Gore Verbinski. Johny Depp was cast perfectly and that guy continues to amaze me with his acting prowess (too bad the Oscar judges dont seem to think so). Keira Knightly, he first role in a major hollywood film ddi extremely well too, giving the men in the movie theatres the spice they need. Orlando Bloom, the elf Leglolas in the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, is perfectly cast to as Elizabeth(Keira)'s love interest. The special effects, espcially in the scenes where moonlight turns the cursed pirates into walking skeletons was done with class and precision. The story was exciting, thrilling and left all room for suprises (in other words - it was a plot line that had hardly any flaws and had an end that couldnt be easily figured out). I forgot to mention Geoffrey Rush, a star of many good movies like Quills, Shakespeare in love, and the Tailor of Panama, who plays his role with ease. A great movie for all ages and certainly a movie that can be watched again, and again, and again.
