Review:
In this rousing, swashbuckling film, a life of piracy is romanticized and made accessible to the audience through Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, a quirky pirate at odds with the mean, gnarly pirate portrayed by Geoffrey Rush. Though the moral rules governing this film are a bit dubious at best, it portrays the pirate's life as wild, romping and adventurous. The themes of love, freedom, adventure and rules vs. guidelines ring true throughout the movie. I really enjoyed Hans Zimmer's score and the beautiful locations where the filming took place. If you're ready for a fun, rollicking adventure on the open seas, then sit back, relax and enjoy!
For Parents:
Some action/adventure violence, including skeletons, hand-to-hand combat, cannon fire and guns.
My Rating:
*****
