Worth Seeing Over Three Times!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2003)

After ticket prices for an admit have rose to a staggering $9.25 in my area, I have tried to avoid the theaters as much as possible and wait for the dvd to come out and rent it at my local Blockbuster for a measely $3.00. Surprisingly, after seeing Pirates of the Caribbean in Hawaii where the price for a movie is $6.25 (I'm in California now) I have had the urge to want to see the movie again, even if i have to pay nearly $10 for an admit. I've gone twice already and am going a third and fourth time soon!

This movie is SO WORTH your money and more importantly, your time. It's not your typical, "arrgh.." peg-legged, one eyed pirate movie, its an original movie that this summer has been dying to find. In a summer full of seemingly endless sequels, Pirates proved to be the diamond in the rough. Full of spectacular action sequences, a humble love story, and a very subtle (yet hilarious) humor, its got something for everyone. Johnny Depp gives the performance of his life in this movie and most definately proved that he is a genious in the acting world, and is one of the most brilliant underrated actors ever to be on the silver screen. Granted, I have appreciated Depp for his other acting roles in his career, but his work done here is incredible. His Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the most intriguing characters in movie history. With his humorous wit and indescribable charm, he is the pirate that guys want to be, and girls want to be WITH. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, as the young beautiful stars in this movie, give the movie its youthful spunk, adding to the fact that their acting job was terrific. Definately rising stars! Geoffery Rush was outstanding as Captain Barbossa, and the greatest villain that you loved to hate.
Overall, this movie was just unforgetable. It is a good 2 hours and 30 minutes to spend with whoever you want, and is worth seeing more than once, even if you have to shovel out a couple of dollars in your wallet. Believe me, you won't be disappointed!!! And you'll walk out of that theater wanting to see it again!!!
