If you see a movie about the ocean, go see this one

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2003)

As far as entrances go into a film, only Darth Vader surpasses Captain (never forget the prefix to his name) Jack Sparrow. Depp steals this movie from the first scene he is in on. I love Legolas, but i don't really want to see Bloom play him in every one of his films. He did not take his character in a different direction from the swashbuckling, sleek, bravery in the face of certain death in this film. There was charisma in this film as opposed to the other "blockbuster" opening this week (ehhemm. cough hack, LXG cough, hack.) Keira Knightly was delicious in her portrayal of a non-stereotypical, albeint a little predictable damsel in distress yet in love woman of the era. The effects were very impressive. What can I say, Bruckheimer knows how to blow crap up. This movie is not one of those "absolutely must see" movies, but it is worth going to go see in the theatres.
