Took an idea seriously

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2004)

I thought that this was a very bold move for Disney to base a movie on a ride that generations of people have loved and stood by. However, the move proved to not be dissapointing. It is the most quoted movie now at my school (the the drama department, go figure), and a movie that people have stood by. The plot was origonal, the casting was incredible (Johnny Depp and Geoffry Rush), the effects were outstanding and consistent, the music was great, and best of all, the sword fighting was great and taken seriously. As a fencing student, I paid close attention to the fights, and I was glad to see the movie pay attention to form and footwork instead of just looking for a thrill that came along anyway. In my opinion, this is one of the better moves that Disney has made in filmaking as of late.
