It's a fascinating and amusing pirates film with a lot of entertainment and fun
23 September 2004
The movie deals with a curse on pirates , then they abduct the starring named Elizabeth Swan (Kiera Knightley) , the governor's daughter , with the aim she free them of a damned spell . A brave blacksmith (Orlando Bloom) is helped by a likable pirate named Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) to rescue his love and .save her from Jack's former pirate allies . They will have to confront a nasty villain (Geoffrey Rush) and his henchmen

The motion picture mingles adventures , action-packed , thrills , humor with tongue-in-cheek , rip-roaring , romance and results to be bemusing enough . Yet another swahbuckler adventure in which our starring blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love by embarking in a maritime escapade and these protagonists will have to confront an ominous villain and his hoodlums who are now undead. The film runtime is overlong : two hours and some , but is neither boring , nor tiring but entertaining. The movie there is a homage to the pirates' films , paying tribute to classic pirate movies , also to Ray Harryhausen and his picture ¨Jason and the Argonauts¨ regarding the living skeletons . The action is messy and repetitive and there's a slew of duels and betrayals . As part of a franchise based on a theme park ride , this installment lives up to its heritage ordinary bouts of heart-pumping espectacle including merciless pursuits , fantastic pirates , living skeletons , ships tumble down, overwhelming duels , swashbuckling and anything else . As usual , Johnny Depp is the real star , he invests this overfed , action-tractioned swashbuckler with a voluptuous wit and fantasy enough . First-rate interpretation by Johnny Depp , he plays Sparrow as a purring East End dandy and like Robert Newton in the film titled 'Blackbeard', providing the necessary hilarious touches . Along with habitual roles : Depp , Orlando Bloom , Kiera Knightley who was only eighteen years old when this movie came out , they're well accompanied by a good support cast , such as :Jack Davenport, Jonathan Pryce, Lee Arenberg, Kevin MacNally , Mackenzie Crook , Martin Klebba, Greg Ellis, Damian O'Hare , Isaac C. Singleton Jr. , Trevor Goddard, Zoe Saldana and Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush (Shine) is excellent but overacting , at times .

Colorful, glamorous cinematography by Dariuz Wolski and lavish production by Jerry Bruckheimer . Klaus Badlet's musical score as well as direction by Gore Verbinsky are well made . The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is the tenth highest grossing franchise ever including similar actors and technicians . It is formed by the following ones : ¨The Curse of Black pearl (2003)¨ by Gore Verbinski ; ¨Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest¨(2006) by Verbinski ; ¨Pirates of the Caribbean : At World's End¨ (2007) by Verbinski ; ¨Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides¨ (2011) by Rob Marshall ; ¨Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales¨ (2017) by Joachim Rønning, Espen Sandberg. Rating: 6,5/10 . Good.
