*SPOILERS Of The Black Pearl*
I had heard of POTC: Curse Of The Black Pearl when it first came out, but it sounded cheesy, and I never liked pirate movies, so I gave it a miss.
But 3 years later, after having heard everybody singing its praises and taking the chance as it was going to be aired on TV, I recorded it, and watched it.
I had to rethink my opinion of the movie, since I found it great.
The story? The story is based on these Pirates who happen to be cursed because they robbed a treasure which had been cursed by Maya Gods, and they want to get rid of the curse.
To do that they need the blood of a pirate, not just any pirate but the son of legendary pirate Bill Turner (who Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) killed because he had opposed to Barbossa's mutiny from Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), right before finding out they needed his blood to get rid of the curse) - William Turner (Orlando Bloom).
Mistaken for Bill Turner's child the pirates capture Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), the daughter of the Governor, who said her surname was Turner because she was in love with young Will, and take her hostage, while William teams up with a Rogue pirate, who is none other than Jack Sparrow, who is on a streak for revenge against Barbossa (can you blame him?). In the meanwhile they are all being chased by the British fleet.
Will the curse be broken? Will Jack Sparrow manage to get back his ship, the 'Black Pearl'? Will Elizabeth and Will get together? All I can say is that great fun will be had by all.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl: 9/10.
