Still holds well after all these years

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2017)

Since Dead Men Tell No Tales is coming this May, I decided to re-watch this introduction to the franchise after reading about how the directors want to bring back the style of the first one. I have to say, after 14 years this movie still kicks ass.
You know deep in your heart that's it's a Disney movie but from that opening scene and the arrival of Jack Sparrow (Captain Jack Sparrow), you are in for an awesome +2 hour ride (irony) through this fantastic dark world created by Gore Verbinski and the crew.
What can I say about cast? Depp owns Jack Sparrow, with his own twist on Keith Richards (seems funny that the character won't die just like Richards). Geoffrey Rush nails his role as Barbossa, the mutinous first mate who took over the Black Pearl (seems odd that he's a privateer now). Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley play serious Disney characters (one is an unconventional girl who is interested in pirates, while the other is an underdog trying to prove his Worth).
All in all, this movie is a blast to watch and is probably one of the few blockbuster movies from Disney that you can enjoy over and over again. My only problem now is, that those Norwegians don't make a rip-off of this one for Dead Men Tell No Tales (or Salazar's Revenge as it's called in some territories).
