I had never seen this movie up until
now because it had never caught my attention I was more into The Lord of the
Rings than into pirates. But seeing as everybody loved the film so much I
said to myself “What the heck, let’s give it a try” and trust me I was very
satisfied with this action blockbuster. In the first of the Pirates
series we are introduced to Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) an inept pirate who
rescues Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) who is then kidnapped by the cursed
Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) captain of the “Black Pearl”. Barbossa and his
crew have been cursed to sail the seas as the living dead unless they make a
human sacrifice. Jack and William “Will” Turner band together along with a
small crew of pirate to save Ms. Swann and hopefully get back Jack’s former
ship the “Black Pearl”.
I was completely wrong not to have
seen this flick back when it came out. The picture is a great comedic
action-adventure epic fantasy film for the entire family that will have you
completely excited throughout the entire two hours of its greatness. Never had
I seen such a comedic introduction of a character, I mean when we are presented
to Jack Sparrow we see him looking like a king but what he doesn’t know is that
his little boat is sinking, that’s hilarious! The special effects in this
feature are beyond good and the visuals are stunning. One thing that has to be
pointed out is the awesome mise en-scene in this flick, I mean the costumes and
all the sets are simply gorgeous. And the soundtrack is so fascinating, oh my
god it just motivates you to turn into a pirate yourself. Overall it is a great
film, probably one of the best movies of the first decade of the new millennium
and without a doubt one of the finest of its kind.
Rating:
5 stars out of 5.
