I loved it..

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2003)

Pirates of the Carribean was surprisingly good! I was expecting it to be awful, but it was very funny and the acting was amazingly good, and oh my god Orlando Bloom is hot! Johnny Depp isn't too bad either. I was really surprised - I thought it would either be way too fake and just plain gross (especially after the trailers), but it turned out not to take itself too seriously, and to actually have a much higher caliber of acting than I was expecting. Plus, there was a monkey. And a parrot. And a pirate song. Ooo and cannons. How much better could it get? :-)
