Review:

This was a very good movie. All of the elements, the plot, the acting, the special effects... everything was very well balanced. The only complaint that I have, and it's a very minor one, is that Johnny Depp seemed a bit too over the top as Jack Sparrow, coming off as more flamboyant than swashbuckling. But overall it was a good movie, and I will definitely be adding this one to my DVD library.

My Rating:
9/10
