The critics need to learn something about fun! - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Reviews

I saw this film when it was only 90% completed and it blew my socks off even then! Anyone who enjoys action adventure films will adore this movie. Johnny Depp is absolutely adorable...a total riot! I haven't loved him this much in a movie since "Sleepy Hollow". Orlando and Kiera are wonderfully fresh and totally lovable, and Geoffrey Rush is breathtakingly nasty! The lesser stars are also great additions to the mix, giving the film a jaunty and sometimes slightly manic air. Add to that the fact that the visual effects are excellent, and the soundtrack is a gem and that makes this is one of the most appealing films I've seen yet this year. A must see, for ALL ages! At a bit over two hours in length, the movie is a rolicking romp, filled with beautiful scenery and haunting direction. When you're having this much fun, who WANTS it to end!? The critics who gave this movie anything less than an "A" need to take a long walk off a very short gang-plank!!!!
