WOW!

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2003)

This is one of those rare movies that captures your attention and keeps it all the way through. The magic of this film is something that makes the rest of the movies (Harry Potter included) seems mild in comparison!
Johnny Depp, while not delivering his best performance, was consistently loveable and hate-able. He never fell out of character and he is one I loved to hate.
The Pirate ship was truly a masterpiece. The shocks of ghosts surround and hold you close while making you squirm through ghosts and flesh. The pirates are absolutely terrifying when seen for what they are.
While I do not recommend this for the squeamish or the faint of heart. It is a family film -- but only if your kids are teenagers! Don't be fooled into believing that you should take the little ones to this -- it is not a child's movie.
Enjoy!
