Splendiferous!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2003)

As soon as I heard that they were making a movie based on the ride, I knew I had to see it. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom made the want to see it ever stronger. And I must say, I had more fun sitting in that theatre than I have had in a long time. Honestly, this one of the best efforts I've ever seen. Johnny Depp was Jack Sparrow. I don't mean to say that he merely played Jack Sparrow. His actions and attitude and accent and voice all came together so perfectly that you forgot that he wasn't actually a pirate, sailing the seas, completely mad and wonderfully amusing for it. Orlando Bloom played such a Will Turner that made it obvious that the part was all but written for him. His eyes held all the emotions that Will felt. He was an inspired choice. Two very enthusiastic thumbs way up from this movie-goer. The critics were wrong, yet again.
