Movie Review by Chris
August 30th, 2007

Not As Good As I Expected!!

Ever since the release of this movie, thats all I heard. All about how good the Pirates of The Caribbean movie is. After about 3 years after the realease, I finally saw it. It was ok. The movie had its humor, had its action but I think failed when it came to delivering the goods.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a sweeping action-adventure story set in an era when villainous pirates scavenged the Caribbean seas. This roller coaster tale teams a young man, Will Turner, with an unlikely ally in rogue pirate Jack Sparrow. Together, they must battle a band of the world's most treacherous pirates, led by the cursed Captain Barbossa, in order to save Elizabeth, the love of Will's life, as well as recover the lost treasure that Jack seeks. Against improbable odds, they race towards a thrilling, climactic confrontation on the mysterious Isla de Muerta. Clashing their swords in fiece mortal combat, Will and Jack attempt to recapture The Black Pearl ship, save the British navy, and relinquish a fortune in forbidden treasure thereby lifting the curse of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

The acting is probably the best thing about this movie. Johnny Depp puts on a beyond amazing perfromance as the buffoon of Captain Jack Sparrow. He is super funny and just overall puts on a well done performance. Orlando Bloom surprisingly puts on a good performance. He is a well toned actor that I just never liked. Geoffrey Rush puts on a great performance right along with Keira Knightley.

The action in this movie is pretty well done. It reminded me of the Six Flags live action shows for kids.

The editing was done very well. I think that the director could have given us more excitedness then he did. The film is way too long and way too boring for my needs.

Bottom Line, its pretty good, thought it would be better. But it wasnt.
