entertaining, but not as brilliant as people say

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2003)

yes, this movie was funny. i'd watch it again, which surprises me, since most movies i've seen lately have appalled me. johnny depp and orlando bloom play their roles out very well. there was a bit of bad acting from Keira Knightley, but she was ok, i suppose. overall, i liked it.
there is one thing that bothers me. why on earth did they tempt us with those characters that they never developed? i'm talking about the "good crew", the people who johnny depp and orlando bloom get to help them out on the ship...
we get these tiny glimpses, but no real character development! give us all or nothing, next time Verbinski!
