A great movie all around

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2003)

I highly enjoyed this movie (every time I saw it!)! The story is rich and complex, but all loose ends are addressed before the end of the film. The acting is excellent--Johnny Depp reveals a spectacular new side to his acting ability as Jack Sparrow, a true scalawag with a sharp wit. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley expertly portray their characters, as well, with completely believable performances. The writers deserve praise as well; I've found quotable, amusing lines in every scene. I'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys good, clean fun (very little gore, very little language, and all of the romance is clean!! It's barely PG-13... I'm glad that this generation has realized that those things are necessary to sell tickets) and high adventure, because that's what this movie is--adventure at its finest.
