A wild ride of Adventure!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2003)

I had been a fan of the Disney ride ever since I was a kid, and it remains a favorite into adulthood. We were in DisneyWorld in the fall of 2002 when we heard that they were making a movie of the ride and my first impression was not good. However I'm glad to say that I was wrong! The movie had the same fun-spirited adventure as the ride and it's surely to delight kids of all ages, whether or not you've been on the ride.
Johnny Depp was truly wonderful as Jack Sparrow, as were Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa and the lovely Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann. The flim had humour, lots of adventures and battle scenes, and the special effects were great. This is truly a film for all ages, though the little ones might be scared by some of the scenes.
