![]() ![]() It also was able to incorporate famous scenes from the ride like the dog who is holding the keys to escape…something that was a fun throw-in for fans of the ride. ![]() Gore’s style from The Ring did translate into the movie and scenes where the ghost crew are seen in the moonlight (exposing them as skeletons) are great. Geoffrey Rush was seen as “slumming it” in the movie since he already had his Academy Award for Shine, but obviously knew that the movie had hit potential. Bloom was already making waves in The Lord of the Rings films, but gets more solo play in this movie and Keira Knightley also got more international attention after her big turn in Bend It like Beckham. Both Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley really came into their own in the films. ![]() Depp’s crazy portrayal of Jack Sparrow is the most entertaining aspect of the film (and the series), but in this film, it works with the script as well (he stated he based it on Keith Richards who later played his father in the series). Johnny Depp finally got a lot of recognition for this role despite the fact that movie producers accused him of threatening to ruin the film during its making. I like some of the script’s wordplay and twists and turns, but it often falls into long sequences of who-has-whom prisoner…the final sequence of the story just has the characters going from ship to ship over and over again. While the movie is character driven, the plot often meanders. The story of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is both the movie’s blessing and its curse. ![]()
