1: There's no reason why I shouldn't buy this.
2: Why haven't I bought this movie already?!
Pirates of the Caribbean is perhaps the most successful live action movie franchise Disney has ever produced. Ever since its original release 10 years ago, Disney has been doing whatever it takes to get another franchise as successful and profitable as this. And so far they haven't been able to do as good as this. But they have been trying and still trying. If you don't believe me, just look at the Lone Ranger coming out this July!
The story is that in order to save the love of his life, Will Turner played by Orlando Bloom teams up with Captain Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black isn't a perfect movie, but what a movie it is! The biggest strength of the film is Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. This is my favorite Johnny Depp character for a reason: This role was made for him. He plays the role of Sparrow with such charisma and humor you would think that he's done this before. I actually found out that Depp was so good in this movie he was nominated for Best Lead Actor at the Academy Awards in 2003! Way to go Academy for giving recognition where it's due! I personally think he deserved the Oscar for this role and Depp deserves an Oscar in general because in every movie he's in he's fantastic. Johnny Depp is one of the few actors today that can sell a movie with just his name on the poster.
Captain Jack aside, this movie is also really well made. It has great visuals, makeup, props and enough fight scenes to fill three sequels. The script is pretty silly and goofy at times with some of the jokes here and there but that can easily be forgiven because let's remember; It's a Disney movie!
Curse of the Black Pearl also contains an incredible score by Klaus Badlet. This is without a doubt my favorite score of all time. The main theme that is played during the credits is beyond good. It's riveting, exciting and the perfect theme to a movie as fast-paced as this.
Final Report: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl has relentless scenes of action, a great cast, memorable characters and Johnny Depp in perhaps the greatest performance of his career. Savvy?
