A wild ride indeed

I've been on the Pirates ride, and except for one scene (I won't tell you which it is), I didn't recognize much of it in this movie. But, standing on its own, PotC is a wild delight made up of equal parts swashbuckler, horror tale, and love story. Johnny Depp as the flamboyant Captain Jack Sparrow has spent ten years trying to track down the crew that mutinied, marooned him on an uninhabited islet, and sailed off with his beloved ship, the Black Pearl. Meanwhile his former first mate, Barbossa, has spent eight of those years struggling to lift from himself and his crew a fearful curse laid on them by their theft of an Aztec treasure. The final remaining piece of that treasure is in the possession of Elizabeth, daughter of the Royal Governor of Port Royal, and Barbossa's men attack the island to acquire it ("It calls to us," says one pirate upon demanding the piece from her). But there's something else they need to lift the curse: the blood of a fellow mutineer whom they murdered when he tried to dissuade them from taking the treasure. Since they can't get his, that of his child--Will Turner, the young swordsmith who has loved Elizabeth since they met soon after his ship was attacked by the Pearl's crew--will do. What they don't at first realize is that Elizabeth isn't the child they want, so they carry her off to Isla de Muerta, their hidden stronghold. Will, desperate to rescue her, frees Sparrow from prison in hopes of getting his help. What follows is a rollercoaster of escapes, rescues, duels, splendid sea-fights, and general non-stop action. (The thunderous score is a plus: don't fail to get the CD!Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl) The youngest kids will probably be disturbed by the skeletal forms the pirates assume when "the moonlight shows us for what we really are," but I didn't find them overly terrifying, and they turn out to be vital to the plot: neither dead nor living, they can literally walk along the bottom of the sea, which allows them to board the royal warship sent in pursuit of them and very nearly annihilate the crew. In the very nick of time Jack cleverly finds a way to break the curse, and at the end Will and Elizabeth find each other and Jack himself is saved from the gallows.

Depp's performance is a delight throughout (Jack will probably live as one of the best characters created in his career), and the motley crew he gathers up to help him and Will in their pursuit of the Pearl reminds me of Burt Lancaster's in his classic The Crimson Pirate (there's also a scene fairly early on that's a direct lift from the latter, and anyone who has seen it will recognize it immediately). Keira Knightley is a very competent heroine with definite tomboy tendencies, whom modern viewers will like, and Orlando Bloom (formerly known as Legolas, the Elven archer, in the LOTR trilogy) as Will does a good job as the young commoner who discovers that a pirate can also be "a good man." Watch out, too, for Anamaria, the very handsome black lady pirate who serves as Jack's helms...woman. This is definitely a DVD I plan to add to my collection.

It has some funny moments. Johnny Depp overacted in many scenes.
