Geoffrey Rush's performance better than Johnny Depp's

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2006)

I'm probably the only person on Earth that believes this, but I think that Geoffrey Rush's performance in Pirates of the Caribbean was better than Johnny Depp's. I agree that Depp is spectacular as Captain Jack Sparrow, and his performance makes the movie much better, but Rush's performance as Captain Barbosa is by far the most outstanding in the movie. The movie wouldn't be nearly as good without Rush's performance. The next time you watch the movie, pay special attention to Captain Barbosa (his mannerisms, the way he delivers his lines, etc.). You'll agree with me. Geoffrey Rush is very over-looked and under-rated in this movie.
