Good movie...Depp annoying *** SPOILERS

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2003)

I thought the movie was good. I like the connections to the ride especially the scene where the pirates are trying to entice the dog to give them the key in the jail cell.
The effects were great. And I thought the story was great too. I like the idea of the damned crew sailing on the dammned ship until eternity. The crew turning to skeletons was a nice touch.
Now, as for Johnny Depp. I like Depp a lot as an actor. I think he is a tremendous actor. His acting in Blow was one of the best I have seen. However, I do not like how he acted in this film. I do not like the way Keith Richards talks and acts ( the mumbling doped up dazed rock star ) so why would I want to see that in a movie. And why would I want to see that in a brillant actor like Johnny Depp. Depp patterning his character after Richards was annoying. If he wanted to make the pirate a rock star he could have picked someone other than Richards. Depp's doped-up, slurring, gay blade routine detracted from the movie.
I hope there is a sequel but before it happens I hope someone "sobers" Depp up and tells him to play it like Depp and not Keith Richards.
