It's not great but it's a pretty fun movie

Rating: 7/10 (13 December 2006)

Pirates of the Caribbean:the curse of the black pearl is not a great movie,but it kept me fun.The production behind this movie is great.But the best thing I found on this movie is the script.I know it's not innovative,but it's well written with the unexpected twists and the surprises the movie has.The great Johnny Depp has an extraordinary performance as Jack Sparrow and putting him on that character was a great decision.He had a very deserved Academy Award nomination.Geoffrey Rush and Jack Davenport bring excellent performances,too.Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are very shallow on their characters.The battle sequences are spectacular but some of them are very long and some of them could have been edited off the movie.Another frailty is that,near the ending,there are some boring and redundant scenes which could have been taken out.Pirates of the Caribbean is not a great movie but it kept me fun.
