Pirates Of the Caribbean movie review

These are not the kind of pirates we've been hearing so much about in the news lately. These high seas hackers have never heard of Napster (however, rumor has it that Johnny Depp did draw upon musical inspiration for his pirate persona, Captain Jack Sparrow). It has been a long time since there's been a major pirate motion picture. There was Renny Harlan's Cutthroat Island back in 1995, followed a year later by Muppet Treasure Island. …

…on the screen. The sweeping seas, the close quarters inside the galley, the jail, the deserted island, the cave covered top to bottom with pirate's treasure; the audience is invited in, everywhere, and we get to see it all. The only complaint I have is, we don't get to hear it all. It could have just been a problem at my particular screening, but I was unable to fully hear a lot of the dialogue.
