THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL(2003)
The first, as is with most movies, is the best by far!!!! An
absolutely wonderful tale with a great cast and the
cinematography was awesome! The music was perfect
for the movie! And Johnny Depp is in a role that seems
to be made just for him, in an incredibly fun romp!!! An
absolute must see movie!! A+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com
A damn good movie. One of the best of 2003 in my view.
This movie made me laugh, and it really pulled me in.
At first I was afraid this would be another bad Pirate
movie. I went to see it anyway, as I've always loved the
legends of pirates, and I love adventure. I saw it once.
Then twice. Then Quadrupul. Then six times. And one
more 7. And now I eagerly wait for the DVD in Australia.
What i'm saying is I couldn't get enough of this movie.
It was so well done.
Johnny Depp was hilarious a Jack Sparrow, and acted
like a true Pirate. His obsessive drinking antics, and his
walk really brought out this chaqracter. Plus he made
character we could all love and enjoy, that deserves an
Oscar in my view.
Geoffrey Rush played Barbosa the bad guy. Who turned
out to be quite a good bad guy in my view. He showed real
potential, and I loved the way how he manipulated people.
Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth, the governor's daughter.
Prisoner of the Pirates. She is quite momorable in this role,
and is a great jump for her evergrowing popularity.
Orlando Bloom plays Will Turner. A simple blacksmith,
who is also a well trained swordsman. Who is in hot
pursuit of saving Elizabeth from the Pirates.
The more memorable thing about this though is the
curse. A well thought out curse. That can always lead
to sequel or a prequel. You'll see what I mean when
you watch it.
The story is based on these Pirates who happen to
be cursed, and they want to rid the curse. To do that
they need the blood of a pirate, not just any pirate
but the son of Bill Turner- William Turner. Mistaken
for Bill Turner's child the pirates Capture Elizabeth,
and take her hostage, while William teams up with
a Rogue pirate, Jack Sparrow, who is on a streak for
revenge against Barbosa. While all at the same time
are being chased by the british fleet.
A great adventure. Well played swordfighting. Great
laughs. Great music. And great story. Pirates are back
in my good book. - JPW_3
