Story - A tale of adventure set during the 17th Century in the Caribbean Sea. For the roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow, the crystalline waters of the Caribbean, like the high seas the world over, present a vast playground where adventure and mystery abound. But Jack's idyllic life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the Governor's beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swann. Elizabeth's childhood friend, Will Turner, joins forces with Jack to commandeer the fastest ship in the British fleet, the HMS Interceptor, in a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl. The duo and their crew are pursued by Elizabeth's betrothed, the debonair, ambitious Commodore Norrington, aboard the HMS dauntless. Unbeknownst to Will, there is a curse that has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead--when exposed to moonlight, they are exposed to living skeletons. The curse they carry can be broken, only if a once-plundered treasure is restored.
Scott's Review
This is definitely a must see movie. For anyone who has ever been to Disneyland and ridden the Pirates of the Caribbean ride you will definitely see all the imagery that you have come to love from the ride. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by Johnny Depp's acting ability in this movie.
Scott's Rating:
(4 Frogs) - Good. Good storyline or excellent visual effects. Movies with this rating would include Stargate, Red Dawn, Raiders of the Lost Ark. These movies I will probably buy on DVD within two months of release.
(3 Frogs) - Average. Nothing special about these movies. Movies with this rating would include Volcano, Revenge of the Nerds, King Ralph. These movies I would only buy on DVD if they are on sale.
(2 Frogs) - So So. Storyline below average, visual effects mediocre. Movies with this rating include Craft, Sister Act, Star Trek Generations. These movies I would probably not buy.
(1 Frog) - Bad. Lousy storyline, poor acting, but may have some item as a saving grace. Movies with this rating include League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Star Trek 3 The search for spock, Replicators, Kung Pow!. These movies I will not buy.
