Disney's done it again

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2003)

Pirates was one of the better movies I've seen in awhile - not only was the cinematography great and the special effects amazing, the acting left nothing to be desired.
The plot was gripping and left me wanting more - 2 hours is fairly long for a movie, but I could have sat through 2 more hours and loved every minute of it. A great blend of action, adventure, and comedy.
The fight scenes were beautifully choreographed and exciting, with the final battle leaving most of the audience cheering and clapping, not to mention laughing, going from skeleton back to human again.
Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow was amazing, his facial expressions and mannerisms really made the character one of a kind. Unfortunately, Orlando Bloom did leave much to be desired (not in a good sense, ladies)- good looks aren't everything. Geoffrey Rush makes a great pirate, and Keira Knightly did a good job in more of a lack-luster role compared to the others.
All in all, a flick that left me wanting to see it again and again. This is one movie that'll never be boring to watch, even after you've seen it a hundred times.
