Fun movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2004)

Pirates of the Caribbean was, in fact, much better than I expected it to be. I was dragged to see it by some friends, and I have thanked them many times for making me come. Johnny Depp is awesome as Captain Jack Sparrow; in my opinion he steals the show. This is definitely a fun, swashbuckling adventure, which is exactly what Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer wanted. The DVD is one of the best of the year, as noted by myself along with various newspapers and magazines. The writing, especially for Captain Jack Sparrow's part, was clever. Citizen Kane it's not, but definitely one of my favorite movies of the year and probably one of my favorites ever!
