Very, very enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2003)

I'm really sorry that I missed this one on the big screen and watched it on DVD (on my 35" TV). I can only imagine how much more entertaining the movie must have been in the theater.
Even though I had already heard enough positive comments about "Curse of the Black Pearl", I must say that I had not expected to enjoy it as much as I did. It had almost the perfect proportion of comedy, romance, adventure and. . . . surprise.
The special effects, visual and sound were great (and I'm sorry I didn't watch it in the theater). I'm not sure if I will actually get the DVD (I only watched it for the very first time last nite), but I am quite tempted.
Anyway, I also just found out that there is going to be a sequel coming out in 2005. Can't wait for it.
