It's inconsistent, predictable, the characters have no development, and it's the most fun I've had since Raiders of the Lost Ark
19 July 2003
This is perhaps one of the most uproarious movies of the summer. It's what it is: a swashbuckling adventure movie with beautiful damsels and heroic sailors. Don't go into it and want to tear it apart with errors is facts, continuity, etc. Go into it and expect a good old movie time. Orlando Bloom is great as a hero, recalling Errol Flynn's Robin Hood. Geoffrey Rush is a creepy villian, but he also has a motivation that is understandable and makes you sympathetic to him and his crew of pirates. And now to Johnny Depp: he steals the show. I almost wanted to see a movie just about him. His lines made me laugh out loud, and his stature, a gawking demeanor he carries that similar to a drunk, but he's sober, is a riot. There is just to much to say about his character. I think Hulk deserves Best Editting at Oscars, and Depp should win Best Supporting Actor. Yo-ho-ho-ho, a pirates life for me!
