A well-acted classic

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2020)

The two absolute stand-outs about the show are the score and Jack Sparrow. Firstly, the score is all it is hyped up to be. I had never seen the Pirates movies before but the second that thrilling piece started pumping during the first sword fight scene, I felt that I had known it forever. The music makes you want to rush into battle with the characters just to cheer them on. At the end of the day, what really carries this film to the heights it reached is Jack Sparrow. The combination of some of the best make-up/costume design ever done and top tier acting makes this character unforgettable.
