Critics must admit they were wrong - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Reviews

I don't think this movie was great simply because it surpassed my expectations, but because it really had great acting, an excellent story (this is despite the fact that it is based on a Disneyland ride, but even so, it's a nice change of pace from Universal's lackluster attempts at drawing visitors by creating the latest extravaganza based on their regular summer flop), and stunning visuals. I'm planning on seeing it again...this time with the one that I love :)
