the best film ever

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2003)

This definately is one of the best films i have ever seen, and it has been the most popular film by far with many many people each week at the cinema i work at.
the film has a unique and engrossing story line, incorporating many myths and themes that were around at the time of the pirates. the story centres around the initial finding of a piece of aztec gold, one of a large number of pieces which make a set. it may sound basic, but there's more to it, as the treasure is cursed, so anyone who takes even one piece of the gold becomes cursed. this is where the story kicks in, as a group of pirates have spent years trying to find all the pieces to lift the curse bestowed upon them. there is so much to summise from the fantastic plot that i won't waste time, and simply say just go and see the film. it's worth it, and besides, i'm not one to give too much away. but my pitiful summary does not do justice to the spot on story.
the soundtrack to the film is by far the best music score i've heard in a film for a long long time, (with the exception of Moulin Rouge of course). it's lively, yet superbly classical.
it has been fantastic being a projectionist for this film (among others) and I have seen the people coming out of the film just buzzing with excitment, all talking about how amazing it is. It is a rarity in as much as it appeals to all ages, and whether young or old, the reaction has almost exclusively been a huge buzz of excitement after the film. it has been filling the cinema up for every showing every day for the last 5 weeks, and many showings have often received a huge round of applause from the audiences (and that is very rare for a cinema audience to applaud at the end of a movie)
if you haven't seen it, then you don't know what you're missing. get to your local cinema and enjoy the adventure pirate style.
yo ho!
