Wow! Instead of reading this, just go see it.

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2003)

This is a better-than-average addition to the pirate film oeuvre, and possibly the best thing at the cinema at present (in Australian cinemas, that is :)
Depp is, in a word, fabulous in this role. Having gone there thinking that Bloom would be the centre, was happy instead to laugh my way through the film thanks to Depp! Rush is good as always.
Can't say much more without using spoilers, so just go see it. It's a great way to use up two hours which might otherwise be wasted.
