Fun ride :)

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2003)

When I first heard that this was coming out, I rolled my eyes at the title-- great... Disney trying to make yet more money on things they had well-established in Disneyland. Yeah, fine, whatever. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is a fun little ride-- not fantastic or amazing, but enjoyable. Johnny Depp is amazing in characterizing this pirate-- is he drunk? Is he crazy? Or is Jack Sparrow just pretending to be that way? He keeps up the act through the entire movie, which is a feat in its own right. So sit back and be entertained. It's not earthshattering, but a good little pirate adventure for a couch movie night.
