Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: ***
This has to be the longest title I've seen in a
while.
The good: Johnny Depp is
hysterical as a bizarrely effeminate noble pirate captain. The references to
the ride are amusing. And the special effects are
professional.
Not so good: I found it
hard to be interested in fights involving people who can't be killed. What's
the point of shooting them? You'd think they'd at least _try_ to capture them,
or something. And our blacksmith hero was
personality-free.
Overall, pretty good
fun.
