fun movie-- a treat!

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2003)

This movie is not a masterpiece... but its a fun movie. Definitely worth watching on a big screen. The plot is simple and predictable... its an adventure movie, we know where things will end, but the ride itself is fun. There's humor all over... sometimes subtle (nice touch). Special effects are very good. Depp's character is a treat to watch. Its unfortunate that once a movie gets so much attention, people become very critical... almost like they feel they have to dissect every detail and show the rest of us why we are wrong in thinking that the movie is good. I say... check it out, and play along.
