Finally, some entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2004)

This film has several good reasons to go and see it:
1) It's funny, exciting well worth seeing.
2) Its got Johnny Depp. Reason enough. You'll like Jack Sparrow far more than Will Turner, I can guarantee that.
3) Geoffrey Rush. Again, enough reason to see it. I wouldn't call him frightening, just scarily cool, dark and ugly. Very different role to the voice over of Nigel the Pelican.
If you like him 4) Orlando Bloom... not good reason. He's pretty. Can't say much else about him though. He was better in Lord of the Rings. He's better being silent, elf-like and graceful.
5) Keira Knightley... *shudders*... is better off playing people like Jules in Bend It Like Beckham: half friendly and half bitchy. Bizarre face: she's got a dazzling smile but a really pinched disgusted look the rest of the time. Not the best choice foe Elizabeth Swann.
6) Johnny Depp again.
7) It's fun. Really. And its got really impressive effects. It might not be the best pirate film to come out for a while, but it enjoyable all the same.
