FUNNY MOVIE...good for laughs

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2004)

I was interested to watch The Pirates of the Caribbean after knowing that it had Orlando Bloom in it (I'm not a big Orlando fan but I wanted to see how he acted outside 'LOTR'). I can tell you one thing- man I laughed my head off...especially when Bloom and Depp take over the ship. 'Gentlemen, do not panic. We're taking over this ship!'. Depp was really good and had a cool costume on. Orlando was also very good...looked different from Legolas but had only a few lines. However, one thing I did like was that the Director did try to keep things looking old without anachronistic additions and everyone did speak in British accents...and not to forget...Pirate accents as well...'Aaargh'. 'You've got to start believing in nightmares...you're in one!' . It wasn't scary as I would have imagined; the skeleton scenes and all were funny and honestly they didn't deserve an oscar nomination for special effects (Matrix Reloaded did). However, the film is great to watch when you're in a mood to watch some funny acting by Depp. Great acting by Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Depp and yes...also Orlando Bloom. I will watch it again if I have the time. Dunno if I will be able to watch it many times though. Good movie if you want to laugh quite a bit.
