Fantastic film for all ages!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2006)

I have to admit, I was hesitant to see this movie because the idea sounded a bit childish, but upon seeing the commercials, I was hooked, and even taped one during a show just because it looked interesting to me. I waited until the movie was released on DVD before watching it and I sorely regret it!! After viewing ten minutes of the film I was hooked and rented the movie that very night. I then went on to watching it again and again, even renting the movie a second time just so I could watch it more.
Johnny Depp is brilliant as daft Captain Jack. It is obvious that he truly enjoyed the character. His acting steals the show, even though the film is based around Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). Geoffrey Rush is equally hilarious and evil as the undead Barbossa. Kevin McNally is thoroughly enjoyable as the older salt Joshamee Gibbs; the superstitious, story-telling pirate that Jack Sparrow visits in Tortuga.
I truly believe anyone with a creative imagination will have a lot of fun with this movie. It takes you out of reality and throws you into a thrilling dreamworld with pirates, sea-faring, a love story, and hilarity.
