This is one of the best movies I've ever seen!

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2004)

I missed out on seeing Pirates of the Caribbean on the big screen, and now I wish I hadn't. I first saw it at my friend's place on DVD and I loved it immediately and really wanted to see it again. The characters are all perfect for their parts, Orlando Bloom plays an excellent Will Turner, Kiera Knightly is great as the pretty governor's daughter, Geoffry Rush is a superb villain, and Johnny Depp's funny antics bring the movie together to make a masterpiece on film.
I had no idea what I was about to witness as I sat on the couch, not having seen any of these actors (Except Orlando, LOTR) in a movie before. By the time it finished, I was laughing so hard I could hardly breath. I loved Johnny in the boat at the start, Orlando's heroism throughout the movie, and the kiss at the end. Everything was so perfect that I wished it would never stop, and now it's one of my fave movies of all time! There's only one thing I don't get though. Why did Jack Sparrow cut his hand at the end just before he passed the medallion to Will? I would love to get an answer to that.
