Other than a few unresolved plot points and a long running time this one is pure fun.

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2003)

Seeing the previews of this one I thought it would be a nice fun adventure and as it turns out it was. The person though that stands out the most in this one though is Johnny Depp, he was great has Captain Jack Sparrow. There wasn't to many moments in this one when he was on screen that didn't make me at least chuckle. He really made the film for me, though the rest of the cast was good to with Geoffrey Rush as the bad guy and Orlando Bloom doing excellent jobs as well. The female lead was great too. This one though was just a purely fun movie to watch. The scenery was great too on the open seas. The only thing I had problems with are some plot points and the movie did run a bit long. I still am not quite sure why they needed the one guys blood and there was something else that didn't quite fit together as well, like what was up with the compass, but these are minor problems I had with it and in no way do they diminish the enjoyment I had watching this one. Great swordfights in this one as well, as I love a good sword fight in a movie. This one is also good for the whole family, and I am still wondering why it was rated PG and not PG-13 as I think the ratings board these days is a bit crazy. If the last two Star Wars movies were PG then this one should have been as well. All in all a great time to be had by everyone.
