Wow, an All-Around Enjoyable Flick!

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2003)

Warning: don't go to this movie looking for an intellectual view on life (not that you would, but...). Yes, with that said, I have to say that I found this movie to be quite lovely. The casting is pretty good, though many of the characters are far too restricting for the actors to go anywhere with it. Johnny Depp is absolutely delightful with his rendition of the slightly-addled, but all-together wise Captain Jack Sparrow. There are a few moments that will make you chuckle and a few moments that will send your heart into your stomach. Also, a couple of nice references back to the ride (such as the infamous jail scene with the dog). All things considered, this flick has only half a brain, but continues quite nicely and allows the viewer to leave the theater with a smile on their face.
