If only it wasn't as funny...

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2003)

If Pirates of the Caribbean was a more serious flick, without the laughoutloud subtle humor and hilarious parts that everyone loved, I guarantee you, Johnny Depp would have had an Oscar Nomination. His performance was inspired, entertaining, and strong. If he was the only thing the movie was worth seeing for, it'd easily be a 7/10, but the other lead roles were pulled off well, and the story was very entertaining. Against a movie like AI, for instance, this 2 hour plus movie flew right by. I only hope they don't butcher the sequal.
10/10
