Pirates ye beware!

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2004)

Absolutely entertaining. Jack Sparrow(Johnny Depp) a rogue pirate joins the efforts of a young blacksmith in saving a damsel(Keira Knightley)in distress and fighting a ghostly group of villainous pirates to recapture a ship he claims has been stolen from him. Sword clashing adventure and off beat humor coupled with some very good special effects makes for an interesting escape from the real world. Depp proves himself a master craftsman. What role can't he play? The cast also features Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, Jonathan Pryce and Damian O'Hare.
NOTE: It has been said that Depp patterned his pirate character after spending some time with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.
