Loosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he's in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth's childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl's mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth's doubloon necklace, and when she's kidnapped by the ol' salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ship's curse.
Verbinski's PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, filled with rope-swinging heroes, crusty villains, treasure hoards, swift swordplay, and even wittier wordplay. Screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have crafted one of the most clever action-movie scripts in many moons, and this gives the filmmakers and cast plenty of room to cut loose. Although the skeletal pirates may be a bit frightening for small children, there's lots of humor to temper the scary moments, making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL a nearly flawless fun film.

It is my opinion that everyone should go watch Pirates of the Caribbean. It is great. Totally. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow is very good. Really brings out the character well. Not to mention that he's also very funny.. Its such a fun movie that I wanna wach it again! =þ Orlando Bloom is a bit wasted in the movie, felt as if he didn't get to show his full potential. Anyhow, he wasn't bad in the movie, could be better though.

I still don't understand how Jensen can look as if he is about to fall asleep in the movie when its sooooo nice!! He was sitting next to me in the movie, and halfway through it, he looked as if he was asleep, so I checked to see if he really was. As it turns out, he was watching the movie, but in a funny position, with his head hanging down but eyes looking up. And when he saw me checking, he looked at me as if I was crazy.. Hmpf.. Haha.. He never laughs or has any reaction when watching movies, don't even know if he was enjoying it or not, wonder why he even goes to the movies at all.... =/ Savvy?
