Wonderful! It proves part of Hollywood wrong!

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2003)

Pirates Of the Caribbean is one of the best movies I've ever seen. There is a saying in Hollywood that goes out to Adult actors,
"Be careful of scenes that include children and animals, because they'll always steal the attention away from you."
Well, now add Captain Jack Sparrow,(or Johnny Depp)to that saying. This movie would not have been so wonderful if anyone else had been Jack. Mr. Depp is a truly talented actor, and it shows with evertything he does. From the lines to the simple body language, he made it all his own, and you could tell that this was a fun movie to make by watching the effort in every scene. I hope the sequel is as wonderful.
SPOILERS------ To clear up a misunderstanding: Jack IS NOT cursed through the entire movie. Thyat's why he eats and drinks through out the film. Jack was abandoned before the pirates were cursed. If you notice, he's in the moonlight several times in the film, and he doesn't change. That's because he's not cursed. He steals the coin at the end because he knows he's going to fight Barbossa, and didn't want to die. If you notice, when he tosses Will the coin, he slits his hand so HIS BLOOD IS ALSO ON THE COIN. That's what the curse needed, blood from everyone who stole a coin. And even if he hadn't taken the coin, he still would have been cursed, because he doesn't repay the blood.

The movie is quite long, but worth while and certainly entertaining. 10/10 and two thumbs up!!
