Fun, Fun, Fun!

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2003)

This movie is the best fun I've had at a summer movie in a very long time! Johnny Depp gives a bravura performance as wacky and unpredictable Captain Jack Sparrow and is a joy to watch. Geoffrey Rush and the rest of the cast look like they're having a blast, and all the energy translates into a lot of fun. There are plot problems, of course, but I thought they were minor, and some dialogue is a bit ruff, while there are times the scene could have cut out sooner. But overall, this is a swashbuckler of a good time!
