Great fun

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2004)

A fun enjoyable movie. Others have said it, but this is maybe the only pirate movie I've ever liked. Smart marketing move in having two very handsome leads in Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, thus avoiding the typical pirates-movies trap of having too large a grunge factor.
Johnny Depp gave a memorable entertaining performance as the tipsy whimsical Captain Jack Sparrow. You know it's good when (while watching the movie) you really can't wait until his character makes another appearance. Although the tone is completely different, Johnny Depp gets runner-up in my personal "Best Actor's Performance of 2003" (after Tom Cruise in "The Last Samurai").
