Pirates of the Caribbean...


I finally went and saw the surprise hit of the summer. To my surprise I actually liked it! Maybe I had just let myself get too cynical and convinced myself that it would suck. Maybe I was thinking that pirate movie are not really that popular. At any rate I had a good time watching this and that is what really matters in the end.


I have almost always like Johnny Depp in whatever he is in, and this movie was no exception. He created a memorable character, that I thought was not too over the top. The movie could have been a little shorter. I was more into the first half than the second, but that is only a minor complaint.
