Depp-tastic!

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2004)

I must confess that until I saw this film, I was never a fan of Johnny Depp-don't know why, but there you are. A friend lent me this on DVD and I was absolutely gobsmacked. What a SUPER film, and Depp is perfect as Jack Sparrow. Everyone is wonderful, but the film belongs (as I wish the Best Actor Oscar would, but I don't trust Hollywood) to Johnny Depp.
The combination of humour, action, romance, and ghostly pirates is quite a mix, and the plot moves along at a fine speed.
I really can't fault this film; it is SO good!
