You're off the map mate. Here, there be monsters!

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2003)

This is a fun movie that reminds me of The Princess Bride for it's great fight scenes and Johnny Depp's and Geoffrey Rush's wonderful characters. Though it's not nearly as witty overall, it's full of great lines (most of which go to Jack Sparrow), funny references to Disney's PotC ride, and good visuals. The special effects are keen and not made to scare, though young ones might be wary. The movie can run on a bit, but I really didn't mind (It meant more Jack Sparrow). I've read reviews stating that Johnny Depp is channeling a drunken drag queen in this movie, and that's a good thing. There truly is something hypnotic, sexy, and worth swooning over in the way he plays Jack Sparrow.
This movie also encourages kids to eat their fruits... particularly apples.
And if none of this has convinced you to go see this movie, then go to see the staggering amount of dental work. I'm not kidding, watch the credits and count the number of dentists who worked on this! Depp's and Rush's mouths alone must've kept several dentists busy for weeks.
