Great acting, Great action, Great movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2003)

I've seen this movie twice now, and have to admit the first time i went to see it, it was because Orlando Bloom was in it. But I went the second time because i enjoyed it so much. The actors all fitted their roles perfectly and it's great to see a cast containing lots of Brits. Every actor/actress fitted there part superbly; Geoffry Rush plays your traditional pirate with lots of energy and Orlando Bloom makes the ladies swoon over him as the young Will Turner. Of course for the men there's the beautiful Keira Knightly. The crew of the Black Pearl all put 100% into their roles, especially Mackenzie Crook, and gave the audience the creeps. But it was Johnny Depp who stole the show as Jack Sparrow, he didn't have to say anything, just his body language and facial expressions could steal a scene. His English accent may not be totally accurate but it doesn't matter because it fitted his character perfectly. He successfully plays the lovable rogue, because by the end of the film everyone has, well, fallen in love with him. The film may be long at over two hours, but you never get bored because there is always something going on. Lots of swashbuckling sword fights and great special affects make this a must for any fans of action-adventure movies. And of course, girls if you don't fancy all that action and fighting theres always Orlando Bloom!
