A pretty good 90-minute movie

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2003)

I've always enjoyed Johnny Depp's work, even when it was the only good thing in the film. Pirates of the Caribbean is no exception. Were it not for Depp and Geoffry Rush's scenery-chewing, coupled with some excellent special effects, this film would have been a real snoozer. At 2:23, POC was a pretty good 90-minute movie. There were scenes that just seemed to go on forever.
Basically, this was "Nate and Hayes" with skeletons. I give it 5.5/10 stars
