Overrated piece of... uninnovative things

Rating: 4/10 (8 May 2005)

*Minor spoilers*
Much praise has been held over 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the black pearl', and not one, but TWO sequels are in production.
The movie is also rated 7.9 and #227 (today, may 08 2005).
The cast is very good, but the script and plot is WAY to cheesy for me to take in. I find it ironic that a very good movie like Master and Commander, who is also a pirates-vs-soldiers movie and a hell of a good one at that, aiming for realism, gets surpassed by Potc with a plot of undead pirates walking on the bottom of oceans and turning to bones by night? There's also a lot of bridges that doesn't really add anything to the action (the movie tops 140 minutes), which only becomes an annoyance.
Fun for 11-year olds mayhap, but for us a bit older... Crap. Go see Master & Commander if you want a movie with some story. 4/10
