A bit drawn out, repetitious, and yeah boring

Rating: 3/10 (4 July 2006)

Among all of my friends who saw this movie, both pirate/Depp fanatics and neutral, told me that it was such an amazing movie, and that they are excited about the sequel that's coming soon, and how I HAVE to see this movie. So, I did.
I got pretty much what I expected, except less. I found the jokes unamusing, action sequence unexciting, the music just droning on-and-on-and-on... Really, I mean, what was so spectacular about this movie? I'm surprised that I managed to stay wake for the ordeal.
The acting was good, I guess. I wasn't too impressed with any of the characters. Jack Sparrow was kind of amusing, but his antics got really old very fast. Orlando Bloom and Knightly's characters were plain boring. But the character I was most disappointed in was Captain Barbossa -- such an uninteresting villain, absolutely no noteworthy character.
I'm giving this movie a 3 out of 10, and I feel like I'm being generous. I know I'm not going to spend my hard earned dollars on the sequel.
