Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

I watched this in the cinema as a kid and loved it! Still do in 2017!

What an incredibly good film. The first film I ever rewatched in the cinema. Still amazing in 2019.

dropping by to leave my raving review and support johnny's work -

johnny's character makes this entire show and pirates is nothing without him. jd brings so much authenticity and vibrancy to his characters that it's impossible to ignore his talent. he's brought so much of his own craftsmanship and creativity into building and creating the captain jack sparrow that i can't imagine anyone else playing the part.

nearly 20 years later and this movie still stands up. i love it.

also shout out to that elementary school friend i had who would obsessively rewatch this show with me when we were kids and wrote a script for pirates 2 with me. we thought we were gonna make it big. i remember you boo!

One of the greatest adventure movies of all time!

First time I've ever watched it, and I loved every second of it! Depp's acting seals the deal!

The funniest action movie I know with a "larger than life" performance of Johnny Depp as "Captain Jack Sparrow".

The fast paced action flick features some nice plot-twists and a very special humour makes this one of the best movies, ever!

Perhaps one of the best adventure films I’ve seen. And (Captain) Jack Sparrow - perhaps one of the most charismatic and loveable protagonists to ever grace (or, more aptly, stumble around in) a pirate film.

The movie that created the legend of Jack Sparrow.
The performance of Johnny Depp gave birth to an unpredictable and funny character that we can't help but love. His charisma makes him a scene-stealer but the other characters are still interesting enough to be able to entertain us without having to rely solely on Jack.
I liked the identity crisis of Will between his life as a blacksmith who forgot his past and his life as the son of a pirate. In this movie he is the typical heroic protagonist who wants to save his love but the path he chooses at the end promises to show something else in the future from him. Elizabeth is a damsel in distress for the most part but she progressively shows that she doestn't hesitate to fight when necessary and try to be helpful instead of hiding herself like her father wants her to. She can be annoying sometimes but not to the point of being despicable. Finally, the other character that made a big impression on me is Barbossa, I couldn't really hate him and I pitied him because I understood his motivations even if he had it coming and the curse was the result of his greediness.
To conclude, I would say that I love this adventure movie and to me this is the best of this franchise because it is the less complicated one and it doesn't have to add a lot of twists and turns to be entertaining.

I delayed watching this movie for years because I thought that I was not going to like it. Now I watched it and I LOVE it.

one of my favorite movies
