Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 143m
Director: Gore Verbinski
Cast: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Jack Davenport, Jonathan Pryce
Synopsis:
The dispossessed captain of the Black Pearl seeks out his ship and means to settle scores with the mutineers, meanwhile implicating in his quest the daughter of the viceroy and the blacksmith's apprentice she is in love with.
Review:
As a spin-off from a theme park ride, positively the most pleasantly surprising film ever made. Technically beyond criticism, the production throws into the customary mix of tall vessels and swishing épées some chillingly effective living dead pirates, and the cast and script preserve a finely judged balance of camp humour and the thrill of danger.
