Review:
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a 10/10 swashbuckling, wind whirling and sword clanging action adventure film that doesn't take itself too seriously. Johnny Depp is at a sheer peak performance as the whizzy 'Captain' Jack Sparrow and one that got him an Oscar nomination for best actor. Depp clearly steals the show and brings down the house with an all amazing performance.
It's story is a blessing for this certain genre and thank god Verbinski did it right. He nails it to the point where you wouldn't presume it's a normal story but still treats it in that fashion.
But it's the knife-sharp dialogue that plays the real part and Depp unsurprisingly pulls it to the top (Savvey?)
Verdict:
Pirates of the Carribena: the Curse of the Black Pearl is a pure adventure to watch. Depp at his all time best, unforgettable dialogue and Keira Knightley in a corset. How could you go wrong?
