Johnny Depp steals the show

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2003)

Just got to see this film, somewhat belatedly. Had heard/read a lot about it, and I wasn't disappointed - it's very funny and Johnny Depp walks away with it as Captain Jack Sparrow. The cast includes a lot of very fine actors - Geoffrey Rush, Jack Davenport, Mackenzie Crook as well as Orlando Bloom (Legolas-on-a-boat) and the easy-on-the-eye Keira Knightley. It's all done with great gusto and gives the impression the whole cast were having a ball. Definitely worth seeing more than once.
