You won't need a bottle of rum to enjoy
f1i Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
f0i0 , even if you haven't experienced the Disneyland theme-park ride that inspired it. There's a galleon's worth of fun in watching Johnny Depp's androgynous performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, a roguish pirate who could pass for the illegitimate spawn of rockers Keith Richards and Chrissie Hynde. Depp gets all the good lines and steals the show, recruiting Orlando Bloom (a blacksmith and expert swordsman) and Keira Knightley (a lovely governor's daughter). They set out on an adventurous quest to recapture the notorious Black Pearl, a ghost ship commandeered by Jack's nemesis Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a mutineer desperate to reverse the curse that left him and his (literally) skeleton crew in a state of eternal, undead damnation. Director Gore Verbinski (
f1i The Ring
f0i0 ) repeats the redundant mayhem that marred his debut film
f1i Mouse Hunt
f0i0 , but with the writers of
f1i Shrek
f0i0 he's made
f1i Pirates of the Caribbean
f0i0 into a special-effects thrill-ride that plays like a Halloween party on the open seas.
