"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.

Write now we are analysing Alfred Hitchcock films. The narrative threads, conventions, technologies, languages and so on. It really doesn't come up much heh. Ack well.

I just wrote that review straight off the top of my head with no research only my personal opinions. That is how it came out you don't have to be so mean about it. Clearly everything I wrote in their was from my own knowledge despite that small inaccuracy. I'll take your Barry Norman comment as a compliment though heh.

Finally I just want it to be noted that you were the first one to say something nasty not me which if you remember is exactly what i said would happen.

Oh, sorry, I must have missed the memo that said "Sarcasm must only be used in response to controversial or nasty posts from now on".

My point was that you say all these things in your review as if your Barry Norman, but really you don't know much about a lot of the things you're writing. I mean come on, you didn't even know Johnny Depp was in Sleepy Hollow? What do you do in your classes? Surely there's some requirement to know about modern films/culture?

Oh I just checked dictionary.com and apparently I was right the first time. You misled me Maverick lol. Just kidding, easy mistake to make.

Well I'll be...

ARGH! Eastenders is on!

*zooms*

One's metric, the other's imperial, I think. Could be wrong.

Ok why did you say that Blank? Honestly I said nothing even remotely controversial or nasty in any way shape or form and you still use sarcasm to answer my posts.


P.s. sorry about my spelling mistake

How?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
