See other comment for more details: EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2003)

NOTE: THIRD PARAGRAPH CONTAINS SPOILER FOR EXTRA SCENE!
Please see my other comment, with the one line summary of "One of the best movies of all time!" for more information. I believe that is what it was called anyway.
I recently saw this movie for the third time (once on a sneak preview 2 days early, once with a friend, and today with a relative) and I still am not at all sick of it! I love this movie! Everyone does a wonderful job, especially Orlando Bloom ;D and Johnny Depp : ). I give it 10 out of 10, and I would give it more if possible. Disregard the rumors that it is "too long"- none of the three times I have seen it have I felt bored or anxious for the next scene. Pirates of the Caribbean will keep you on the edge of your seat with excitement, or rolling on the floor laughing. Also do not believe it is a kids' movie. Kids will enjoy it, but it is made for more mature audiences. Other false rumors say that the accents are all fake (NOT TRUE!!!) or Orlando Bloom cannot act (WAY NOT TRUE!!! He is one of my 2 favorite actors). All in all it is AWESOME!!!
I just had to add another comment to tell anyone who did not stick around for after the credits to tell them what they missed (NOTE: THIS IS A SPOILER!!!) There is a quick scene after the hundreds of boring credits that makes waiting worthwhile. It begins by showing Barbosa's green apple floating in the water just off the shore of Isle de Muert(o?). The camera shows random sights like Barbosa's body, the coins, the water, the gold, the treasure chest, and then switches to a view showing Jack the monkey swimming over to the stone chest of the cursed Aztec gold. The monkey then climbs to the top of the chest, takes a coin out, and turns back into a skeleton monkey. A perfect setup for a sequel! As seen on the Pirates of the Caribbean trivia section of this site, The Curse of the Black Pearl was added to the title after the first few previews came out in hopes that the movie would do well in the box office and a sequel could be made. And things are certainly looking promising! The movie has done excellently in the box office and I for one am highly anticipating (and hoping for) a follow up. Let's just hope it will be as great as the original!
