Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl2003 -- Rated PG13
Director: Gore Verbinski
Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley
Like the Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies, Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl is what movies is all about. Adventure, daring, action, love story, and just plain good old fashioned story-telling at its best. Basically from the opening scenes of Captain Jack Sparrow riding his sinking vessel to the dock to the feel-good ending, Pirates of the Caribbean (POTC) is just plain fun. Johnny Depp’s over-the-top portrayal of Sparrow steals the film. His character is as riveting as it is comical, ironic and full of verbal slapstick. Almost as appealing as Depp’s Sparrow is Geoffrey Rush’s portrayal of the vexed Captain Barbarosa - a performance that is nothing short of perfect. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley not only dress up the screen with thier handsome and beautiful appearance but also add wonderful depth to the story with thier performances. POTC is definately among my top ten favorites of all time - no wonder I saw it several times in the theatre first.
