Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2003)

This is a fun movie. I took my 5 kids ages 7 - 16 and they ALL loved it. The action is great and the special effects work well and are not overdone. Johnny Depp is wonderful as Capt. Jack Sparrow. He plays the part so realistically that you begin to believe he's really a pirate. Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Kiera Knightly are all wonderful in their portrayals but Johnny Depp seems to steal the show. Major kudos for his accent. It's always nice when an actor takes the time to get the character into his blood. It makes it, as I said before, realistic.
It's very expensive to take 5 children to the movies but we've seen "Pirates" twice, now. That in itself should say something. My 7 yr. old asked when we could buy it as soon as we walked out of the theater. My answer? ........YES!!!!
