Poor editing but a good movie

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2003)

This film has so much going for it. Great special effects, top notch eye candy in the pleasant shapes of Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom, a killer performance from Johnny Depp and above all cinematic jokes that are genuinely funny. My one gripe is that it is too long and the ending was so drawn out and confused that it nearly ruined it for me. The climactic fight scene is also far too long. Cut a good forty minutes off the thing and you would be left with a much better film.
