No wonder Johnny was nominated...

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2004)

Once again, Johnny Depp has outdone himself in this Academy Award nominated film.
Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, reminded me of Dudley Moore's drunken character in Arthur. I was also pleased to see Orlando Bloom take on the co-starring role as the blacksmith in love with the leading lady. Rush also did a noteworthy job, as usual as the bad pirate trying to kidnap, pillage and steal what is unrightfully his.
Here is my rating overall for the film:
Acting (with the exception of Depp whom I give a 10): 8.5 Writing: 7.5 Directing: 9 C.G.: 9.5
One of the best movies to come out this year, and I am upset that this is the first time Depp has ever been nominated for an Oscar, because all of his work is so good, that he should be nominated for everything he does. But, this was just as good if not better than all of his other work up to this point.
I give the movie overall a 9 out of 10. Besides, what's better than Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom?
