Awesome Movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2003)

I went to this movie expecting the only good part to be Orlando Bloom. Instead, I got the best plot for a movie since... well actually since Lord of the Rings, but that wasn't too long ago so it might not mean anything;) What I mean to say is, Pirates of the Caribbean is fabulous. It is truly what the word action packed was made for. This movie is entirely unpredictable with false endings all over the place. Whenever you think the movie is about to end, it surprises you in ways unimaginable. To add to that, the casting was fabulous. Johnny Depp was the star of the show, portraying the crazed "Captain Jack Sparrow" ("That would have to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of"). For being over 40, Depp was very good looking as well;). Geoffery Rush was perfectly casted as Captain Barbossa of the Black Pearl. He created a perfect mix of a villain and a poor tortured soul. Keira Knightley played the part of Elizabeth Swann wonderfully. Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook were incredible as the goofy pair of pirates Pintel and Ragetti, respectively.
Okay, now onto Orlando Bloom. While I love him dearly, he is clearly not cut out for the hero role. He plays a much better sidekick. Still, he played the part of Will Turner to the best of his ability, which is still remarkable. It is very obvious that playing the elf Legolas in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy has made him a much better actor. Whenever there was a fight scene he pulled out the Legolas moves he acquired while filming the trilogy. There's also the added bonus of him being so hot!:)

Having seen this movie 3 times, I hope you will take me as a credible source, and go see this movie. At the very least, rent it when it comes out on video.
