Great Entertainment!

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2003)

I've always been a sucker for a swashbuckling pirate tale, and have probably seen every one made. This one did not disappoint! Johnny Depp's Captain Jack was quirky and brilliant. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley played off his madness perfectly. Of course the plot had all of the expected elements ... damsel in distress, unacceptable suitor, nasty pirate with a conscience, incompetent naval officers ... but the cast made it all seem fresh, and the pace kept me captivated until the end. This movie is fun!
