Pirates of Boredom

Rating: 2/10 (11 July 2003)

Ho-hum. What the heck is everyone seeing in this film? It's really long and drawn-out, edited in the usual thousand-shots-for-every-three-seconds-of-film Bruckheimer manner, and the script is mediocre at best. The audience I saw it with were psyched when it started, and then what followed was almost two-and-a-half hours of indifferent silence. If this is "the movie we've been waiting for," this summer is finished.... Johnny Depp's performance is jaw-dropping, all right. Jaw-droppingly awful. Skip it!
