Wonderful. Extremely underrated as a true film.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2015)

Disney pulled the rug from under everyone when it produced a rated PG- 13 movie about some of the most terrifying men to ever walk the earth. The end result was the birth of an iconic character in Captain Jack Sparrow, whose fantastic lines and perfect delivery made him a global phenomenon. Fantastic supporting performances by Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom as well as the truly menacing Geoffrey Rush give this film an edge no one would have expected. Containing witty dialogue, masterful camera-work and visual effects, one of Hans Zimmer's finest scores (including the riveting theme "He's a Pirate"), and a story extremely quick-paced and exciting, all capped off by Depp's career- defining performance, this film at times gives a stronger adrenaline rush than the ride it's based on.
