A new classic, just good summer fun. The best film of 2003

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2004)

I didn't think I would like POTC when I went to see it but I couldn't have been more wrong! The movie was pure entertainment from start to finish filled with humor, action, and adventure. Once again Johnny Depp does what he does so well by getting lost in the character of the infamous Jack Sparrow. Depp is sensational, this is why he's the best actor out there right now. Newcomer Kiera Knightley was a pretty face and very good in POTC and Orlando Bloom fit the bill proving his talent past Legolas of LOTR. And of course, Geoffey Rush was just so fun to hate as the grimy and nasty Barbossa, a superb villain, the summer's best villain. Gore Verbinski is on his way with The Ring and POTC, even though he sadly looks not to come back for the 2005 sequel to POTC. This movie is great, forget Cold Mountain and everything else, this film is the best of 2003. The only film I could do this to this to this year. A perfect 10/10.
