Great Film: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Why is the rum gone?
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.
