"Pirates Of The Caribbean Reviewed - Ok it's a bit late lol:S"

I know it's a bit late but I wrote one for Ciao and thought I'd also post it on here as a GAD attempt only to find they don't sell that particular DVD. Hmph. Ack well I still thought I'd post it here for you guys to view. Enjoy:

Pirates Of The Carribean
------------------------

Don't you just love it when you're walking through you're local HMV and find a gem of a DVD in their half price sale? You know what I mean, a film like Gattaca or Top Gun. Well Pirates Of The Caribbean may not be as innovative as Gattaca or emotional as Top Gun but this is definitely a modern day masterpiece that you definitely wont regret paying full price for.

By the director of the popular horror film, The Ring, Gore Verbinski has delivered a spectacular film with a cast that some directors can only dream of. The up and coming A-List elf Orlando Bloom delivers a surprisingly good performance as the dashing young Will Turner, the dazzling Keira Knightley who plays the perfect love interest and Cap'n Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp.

Mr. Depp delivers a stunning performance after a fair few years out off the movie making game in his come back film, and what a come back it is. His fabulously camp performance as the comical yet skilled pirate of the seven seas is one that simply does not disappoint. His cheeky little comments provide well-needed light relief in this otherwise generic pirate movie.

"Welcome to the Caribbean love!" Says the apathetic scally wag in an attempt to get Keira to loosen up and drink some Rum. Just like a real pirate. It's grade A material I'll tell you that.

Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good film without him only that without Cap'n Jack this film would have far too much doom and gloom for your average viewer, which, in itself can be comical.

The plot itself is a solid one typical of the genre and as you would have guessed from the 12 certificate it's a bit darker than usual for a Disney film. The CG for example allows us to see the skeleton remains of a crew of the damned. Probably not a good idea to play the lenient parent with this one and show it to your kids. I'm 16 and still jumped out of my seat the first time I saw one of them!

However this is not about me looking like a jumping fool in the cinema. This is a list of my opinions; you may not like them; you may not agree with them but don't argue! "Do you think it wise to cross blades with a pirate” I don’t! So go and buy a copy from the shops or plunder your mates house and take his for a stunning adventure on the high seas.

Manic rampage? Completely overeact to? I constantly try to defuse these situations by telling him to leave me alone but he wont. What would you have me do? All I can do are use words and ask him to stop but he wont for no apparent reason. He has incentive never to speak to me again but still he posts.

Remember the quote.

I physically wish Blank was my wife, every night at ten.

How can you hate someone you've never met to an "extreme level"?!?!

All he's ever done is type out a few insulting messages to you, which you usually overreact to completely and go on some kind of manic rampage.

More advice: enough of the outrageous hyperbole.

So what?

I lost my cousin to leukaemia when he was only 13, life-threatening illnesses are not something to wish on anybody kid. You don’t like him; it’s a bloody forum, who cares?

You're being stubborn. Never talk to me again. It's that easy. I only ever mention your name in response to one of your posts. I manage to stay out of your way but you constantly get in mine. Stop being so stubborn and go away. I don't want your advice. Quote me on that last sentence. It is straight forward and to the point I don't want your advice so never speak to me again. You don't like me so I would have thought it would be easy to do.

I NEVER asked for your opinion. I don't want your advice. Clear as day. I never want you to talk to me again.

Indeed. But unless Starship Troopers is some kind of crazed self-parody, it is definitely not an excellent film. Quite enjoyable though.
