Hereeeeeessssssssss Johnny!

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2003)

If anything, this show is a must-see for one reason.
Sure, Keira is good eye-candy, Geoffery is decent as ever, and Orlando is an elf disguised as a blacksmith, but it's Mr. Depp that carries the movie. And boy does he carry it well. An absolutely brilliant performance as a swaggering, devil-may-care, cheating, backstabbing, wheeling, dealing, sonofagun who kissed all the gals and made them, erm, slap him.

In a summer filled with generally poor releases (save for another marine-themed Disney-esque movie), this movie shines like Cortez's gold medallions. Sure, it has its flaws (like being about 30 mins too long, for one) but Cap'n Jack Sparrow makes up for it. Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum!
