One of the Biggest Surprises Ever

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2013)

Pirates of the Caribbean was one of the most surprising films I have ever seen. I was very apprehensive going in. It was based on an amusement park ride! And I remember thinking "This is going to be bad" after watching the trailer. I think it was one of those trailers that cram in all the cheapest jokes the movie had to offer. But I went because Johnny Depp is my favorite living actor and my college friends had an obsession with pirates. I was blown away by how funny it is and what a great ride (hee hee) this film is. Depp really makes the film. It would probably be a completely forgettable movie with anyone else as Jack Sparrow. I can't think of a better example of an actor completely losing himself in a role and having as much fun as possible.
