Applause for Johnny

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2003)

If anyone is to receive praise for this movie, the competition is tough, but our leading man is defiantly our number 1#! When you think about the memorable characters that you associate with Johnny Depp, for example Edward Scissorhands, Edward D. Wood, Jr. and Inspector Fred Abberline to name just a few, you see him create a character to which you will always make a connection.
Captain Jack Sparrow is a character to whom i would have never linked to Johnny Depp, but following his performance in The Pirates of the Caribbean: The curse of the Black Pearl, i can see no person to parade this character in his full potential better than Johnny. A very good actor to bring a very good character to life.
Not forgetting other actors and actresses in this film who also made it one to remember. Geoffrey Rush, Captain Barbossa makes you believe this truly is the maddest man to move a mast! Demonstrating a character who has determination and the will to put up a good fight to get what he wants, be warned, never mess with him.
Once again, we see Orlando Bloom make the girls smile as he puts up his sword and proves he is worthy to grace an action movie set with whatever weapon you got! A fine performance!
Finally, we have Keira Knightly, who proves, just because she is young, she can still take on Hollywood. Few films can make you cry with laughter but at the same time make you fear what is coming. That, i believe, is one of the reasons to which i must applaud this film.
My film of Summer 2003!
