"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.

Good.

Hopefully it will stand out after what has been a year or so of poor films.

I don't actually know what I think of it heh. Having a seat as hard as month old bread didn't help anything though. I am glad I am going to see it again with my Media Class on Wednesday, maybe I'll find it easier to articulate my thoughts on it after a second viewing. It is DEFINITELY worth a see, I think I am just finding it hard to explain my feelings because it is just SO unique. It is like nothing I've ever seen before so all I can say is I found it really enthralling (sp?) and I loved it for reasons beyond my comprehension.

Ooh ooh ooh...

What was it like?

Hey, just got back from seeing Big Fish. Believe me when I say these are not empty gestures. I am being polite and civil and if you can be polite and civil to me then this has been worth while.

Can't be bothered to play catch up.

You see? You're proving me right all the time. Now, I really don't mind if you don't want to change your ways. If you want people to think you're stupid, then go ahead, be my guest. It doesn't affect me.

But what I don't like is this quasi-cooperation, these lies and empty gestures. Stop pretending Cubist.

Yeh, it's one of those words that has a certain ring to it doesn't it? heh

> trivial

I love that word. :) ;) :D *g* :s !21!

Don't you worry, I haven't told him about the murder, love interest, euthanasia or how he gets caught yet lol:P That film has oh so much more than what I have written even now.
