PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Gore Verbinski

Written by - Ted Elliott, Ted Rossio, Stuart Beattie, Jay Wolpert

Starring - Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley

"Upon released, this film was hailed as something of a blackbuster masterpiece mostly due to the fact that it made pirates, then regarded as box office poison, trendy again. Inspired by a rollescoaster ride, the story of Jack Sparrow’s struggles against his former crew, now undead, is quite and entertaining and exciting if a little overwhelming. The make up and costume departments surely gave the film quite a distinctive and trend setting look. Johnny Depp delivers another iconic performance as another whacky character to add to his long repertoire."
