Critics are stupid. - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Reviews

Seriously, the critics that reviewed this movie are complete morons. I haven't come out of a movie as impressed as I was after PoC for a LONG time. Spot on acting. Johnny Depp is so perfect in his role, as is everyone else (but Johnny Depp especially). The comedy and action were blended perfectly. Not once did I say "Oh, please" to anything in the movie. It was a clever, thrilling actioner that deserves SO much more credit than these so called "critics" gave it. The special effects were simply wonderful. The battles with the skeleton crew were astoundingly flawless looking and well coodinated. Nothing stupid, or cartoonish. Like I said, I haven't been this impressed by a movie in a long time, and I don't think I'm going to be for a long time. Bottom line, I thought it was going to be poor to average because it was made by Disney, but instead they really pulled a great movie out of their asses. Simply marvelous. Johnny Depp rocked my face off.
