Wonderful movie! Johnny Depp steals the whole show!

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2003)

I can tell you this much: I haven't seen a movie so supremely entertaining since... well, since ever! I've seen it six times already, and am planning to see it again soon. The plot was complete (better than a themepark ride-based movie has a right to be), the sword-play was good, and the acting was just phenomenal. Although Orlando Bloom may be eye candy, I hate to admit this, but, he can't act. Keira Knightley plays the damsel-in-distress (although she does a better job of it than most other actresses would). But Johnny Depp completely steals the show! I didn't expect much when I first went to see it, but when he came on screen, I just couldn't take my eyes off him. Not only is Johnny Depp completely hot and very sexy, but he is just hilarious! When I first saw the movie, tears were coming out of my eyes because I was laughing so hard! He makes all the other characters fade away because he has such presence in every scene. Not to mention the accent. I can't believe some people have the nerve to say it was too long, because when I saw it, the time just slipped away and I couldn't believe that it was 2 hours and 23 minutes long! Kudos to the moviemakers for doing an excellent job on making the movie move along at a fast clip.
The ONE bad thing about the movie is that it will be a horrible wait for the DVD. But when it comes out, I swear, I will be the first in line to buy it where I live. I give this movie a 10/10. It was simply brilliant. If you haven't seen it, RUN to the nearest theater right now and go see it!
