But why's the rum gone???

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2003)

I've read numerous reviews about POC being a fun summer flick blah blah blah. But I think it was much more than that. Besides being a fun way to murder the heat wave, this was actually a great film. Gore Verbinski should be proud.
The acting was superb. Orlando Bloom is wonderful in the only other role I've seen him in besides LOTR. He's going to be huge. Keira Knightley was great as Elizabeth Swann, as was the ever brilliant Geoffrey Rush..but I must say stealing the show was Johnny Depp. He was hilarious from his first scene riding atop the mast of a sinking ship to the final cut.
I wasn't expecting that much, other than a summer action flick sprinkled with one liners...especially in that it was a pirate film and it was based on the disney ride. This was well worth the 7.50. And hopefull a few awards while we're at it..
