I was thrilled when I caught the screening of this in July of 2003 that I have one word to say about it and the word is: FANTASTIC!!! Johnny Depp was very hilarious as Jack Sparrow and he was a very good actor.

However, the whole pirate crew is immortal due to the medallion and can turn into skeletons. One night, with the gold medallion she carries around her neck, she gets captured by the pirates aboard the Black Pearl by the evil Barbossa who is using her to get the cave to find the treasure.

This pirate adventure tells the story about Jack Sparrow, who meets a young woman named Elizabeth Swann after saving her life. Overall this became a surprise hit, started a franchise that still continues and is worth watching without doubt. Hans Zimmer is a legend and Klaus Badeld is underappreciated in the business and together they delivered a great performance that is praised and cherished by many. Of cause I must mention the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt. They took great care to deliver an atmosphere that captures the audience.

Everything looks natural and believable form ports, ships and towns to weapons and costumes. It looked so good back then and holds up and I am nearly ashamed that I cant go into details because of spoilers. It ends not there as the special effects were amazing. It has overall an excellent cast that fully delivers. Great main cast but it ends not there as I want to praise Kevin R Mc Nally, Jack Davenport and Jonathan Pryce as much as the two comic relive pirates that appear in all 3 movies of the trilogy (Forgot their names so shame on me). He is an interesting character and strong adversary. With Captain Hector Barbossa by the great Geoffrey Rush we got a great antagonist. She is strong willed, capable and can fend for her own in most situations. With Keira Knightly as Elizabeth Swan we got actual a strong independent woman who does not want to be chained by expectations and society. So relatable with human flaws but also good hero material. Then we have Orlando Bloom as William Turner who also become a character that easily won me over. There is nearly no one who does not have heard of Captain Jack Sparrow. I already mentioned Jack Sparrow became Johnny Depps signature role. It gets also the sweet spot with being serious and having great humor without weakening each other. I like how the story and characters improve each other as it is interwoven well. All characters have relatable and believable motivations and backstories that work well too. I like how the story unfolds and the twist are great. Elisabeth Swan wants more than being what society expects from females and Captain Barbossa and his crew want something I cant spoil. Will Turner wants to win the heart of his sweetheart and more out of live.

Captain Jack Sparrow wants his ship the Black Pearl back and revenge on those who mutinied. There are many individual stories or motives of the characters combined into the story.

Pirates of the Caribbean was just an attraction in Disney theme parks before and I find it impressive that the project got green-lighted as the last true pirate films Pirates and Cutthroat Island failed while there were just a few attempts in the years before. The introduction scene for Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow alone is hilariously funny. Finally there is the humor that works so well.

Then there is the engaging story which takes the best from pirate movie themes and adds the titular Curse of the Black Pearl. It has a great cast of characters that work well together and won me over easily as I was invested in them. Also it became the signature role for Johnny Depp (Maybe both a curse and blessing for him). It has a great cast of A remarkable movie that created a successful franchise while the genre of pirate movies in general was thought to be dead.
