One of the best movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2003)

To begin with, my top 6 list of movies is as follows: #1: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, #2: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, #3: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, #4: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, #5: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, #6: Monty Python and the Holy Graile. You probably noticed that #3 on my list is Pirates of the Caribbean. This movie, in my opinion, is a 10 out of 10 must-see film. I attended a sneak preview on July 7th (2 days before it came out where I live), saw it again recently, and am planning to see it again. I am also highly anticipating the DVD, and maybe even a sequel (if there is one, I hope so!). Not to mention riding the ride at Disney World! The premise is strange: A movie based on a thrill ride. But it certainly lives up to the reputation of its namesake ride, and is by far the best pirate movie yet to come out! Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) was my favorite character, and one of my 2 favorite actors. Johnny Depp, odd as he is, really made the movie as Captain Jack Sparrow. The storyline follows the classic love story, but doesn't "go overboard" on it. Boy meets girl, boy loves girl, girl gets lost, boy saves girl, girl loves boy. But there is much more to the movie than that. I highly recommend this excellent movie to anyone. At 2 1/2 hours long, it certainly takes a while, but you'll find yourself wishing for more. To find out more about the movie, go see it at a theater near you, savvy? (That's pirate for "understand?"). Avast, me maties, and prepare yerselves for one of the best movies of yer thievin' lives!
