Pirates of the Carribean
Saw this last night. Have to post some sort of review. I've said the same thing to two friends in a row, plus my brother, so I'll just repost it all here to save time. Few-to-no spoilers, no major plot points. I hate people who give away movies.
Go see this movie
First, we have Geoffery Rush. This guy won an Oscar, but no one knows what movie he got it in. But he's talented, and knows drama. He also let some people wrap his head in plastic and wire, then submerge him in water in 1999's House On Haunted Hill. He's dedicated to what he does. And, he loves what he does. Talent, dedication, a love of the craft. Geoffery Rush is every bit as good.
Johnny Depp made his first big appearance in the first Nightmare On Elm Street movie. He has since hung around with Tim Burton more than could ever be healthy for anyone, and also made a few more high quality suspsense/horror movies. Johnny Depp is every bit as good.
Orlando Bloom's dimension and acting in this makes you feel sorry for him. Legolas was a one-dimensional saucy boy with a bow and arrow, and Bloom is well on his way to showing the range and talents of Rush or Depp.
The movie? Pirates. Zombies. A monkey. Women in dresses with low bustlines. What more does a guy need?
It also has an excellent score. There's not a slow moment, but not so overloaded with fast moments that the movie gets boring. The way it was put together was every bit as above-par and wonderful as the way it was acted.
Obviously, it's not horror. It's more of the supernatrual action movie. However, this is the way all of them should be made. I have nothing bad to say about the movie at all. So go see it.
