PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003) Rating out of four: **** Starring: Johnny Depp, Geoffery Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly Directed by Gore Verbinski

Where to start?
This movie is exactly what people need this summer. It has it all, comedy, adventure, action, and a slight bit of horror.
The acting is absolutely amazing! Everyone played their part spot-on. This is definately Johnny Depp's finest performance. The way he slurs his lines when he talks, his face and hand gestures, and the way he walks around like he's drunk all the time hit a good spot with the audience. Depp stole the show. Geoffery Rush was fantastic as Captain Barbossa, him and his crewmates adding creepyness to the movie. Keira Knightly anf Orlando Bloom did a fine performance. I was especially pleased with Knightly's. As an 18-year-old actress, she acts like she's been doing it for years and years, worthy of a best supporting actress award.
As for the rest of the movie. CGI wasn't absolutely stunning but it did it's part. Showing us what the curse of the aztec gold had on the pirates. I enjoyed the scenes of the beautiful landscape and waters of the Caribbean, especially that one little island that Jac..(sorry) Captain Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann were marooned on.
