Fun from beginning to end

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2003)

Pirates of the Carribean: the Curse of the Black Pearl is amazingly wonderful. It's funny, it's action packed, and although it is a little long, that still didn't hurt this incredible film.
Keira and Orlando Bloom did wonderful jobs. Geoffrey Rush was great. Johnny Depp however was incredible. His character was fun and exciting. Depp is so consumed in his character that all you see is Captain Jack Sparrow on the screen. I had heard that he steals the show but that comment doesn't even do his portrayal justice.
The plot isn't bad considering the fact that it was created from a theme park ride. It actually has a nice background. The music is wonderful. Hans Zimmer does a wonderful job of complementing the swash-buckling action.
But enough of the technical stuff. This is a must see movie for the summer. I can't wait until it comes out on video and besides that I plan to see it again.
Bottom line: It has everything. It is a fun epic tale, that takes you into the new world and keeps you laughing and entertained the whole way through. If you love Orlando Bloom or especially Johnny Depp you need to see this movie. If you like action movies, you need to see this movie. If you want a movie that is original and different, you need to see this movie. The perfect date movie, a nice family movie, and the most fun you can have.
My rate: A (Enjoy yourself, you are going to love it.)
