Hurrah!

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2004)

I was afraid of this movie at first. One of my friends held a pirate costume party the day it opened, and then we all went to see the movie. Being a Disney movie, I had low expectations. This movie was surprisingly good. Sadly, not all the acting was noteworthy. Johnny Depp carried this movie, but he had help from Geoffrey Rush. Orlando Bloom was dull and Keira Knightley was only there to look at.
Graphics - I was not disappointed in any of the scenes. I was quite impressed with the cursed crew jumping in and out of darkness in the final fight scene.
The movie seemed like it was only an hour and a half long when it was actually over 2 hours. This is the first Gore Verbinski movie I have seen, and I was quite impressed. This had the potential to be a terrible flop, but between Verbinski and Depp, it came out to be a superb movie for the time period.
