Too Long!

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2003)

Overly hyped and overly long, Pirates of the Caribbean-The Curse of the Plack Pearl, is worth the viewing if you rode the ride 20 times at Disney World as I did.
The film is fun but takes too long to set up the story. Just as I was getting interested, I looked at my watch and an hour had already passed. This overly long exposition makes the movie drag.
Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush playfully ham it up perfectly. And it is nice to see "Legolas" (of The Lord of the Rings films) have more screen time. Orlando is too cute.
I hope that the Disney folks will shorten the next one considerably.
