Fun!

I was a little confused at first. What was this I was seeing on the screen? Could it be... why.. yes, I think it is... YES, Actual Creativity on a cinema screen. How did the Hollywood execs ever allow this to happen? Especially during the "Summer of Sequels"? Actual new ideas, creative plot, unpredictability, and NOT FULL OF OVERBLOWN SPECIAL EFFECTS just because they are available.
Johnny Depp was fantastic, and this is from a guy who never liked his acting (until last night anyway). Orlando Bloom was servicable, Geoffry Rush was great as usual. The writing and direction was top-notch.
I still can't believe it, someone at Disney had an original idea. What could be next? Can Fox be far behind? 9/10
