Not expecting much, got surprised

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2003)

I don't write many reviews or summaries but i believe this movie deserves one. I went into the movie expecting it to be horrible. After seeing the trailers with skeletons walking around trying to act scary and Keira Knightley saying "like pain, try wearing a corset!" I expected to be walking into a bad movie. As soon as Johnny Depp hits the screen the movie became good. His character was funny and entertaining and of course he "is the best pirate i have ever seen." Knightley's stupid line was explained before hand so it really wasn't that bad but a couple of things i thought could be improved were that Orlando Blooms character was a wuss and i expected much more (after all he is legolas) and the movie was really long. It didnt really lose your interest, its just that they could have chopped 30 minutes off of it. Not really big complaints and definatly worth the 7 dollars to see it
