Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Disney Pictures I'm going on record right now and saying this is and will be the best movie of the summer. You could not ask for a better summer movie, no - a better movie period. It almost seemed destined to fail: a movie based on a Disney ride, a movie about pirates, a movie on ships and water (Waterworld, Cutthroat Island anyone?) but this movie absolutely will blow you out of the water - get it, a pirate movie that will... forget it, nevermind! The real treasure of the movie is Johnny Depp, who gives the performance of his career as pirate Jack Sparrow. To see Depp have fun with his character and deliver such a comic performance and has so much fun that you wish more actors would do that and stop being serious about themselves. The story begins with pirate captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) who must retrieve 88 pieces of cursed gold to lift the curse of himself and his crew and guess who would have the last piece of gold?

Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth Swann who has the final piece of the treasure Barbossa needs. When she is captured, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) turns to Sparrow to save her. Special effects in the movie are nothing too great. Under moonlight, the cursed pirates become skeletons and it seems that the director did not have too much confidence in the special effects, so he shot scenes with the bony pirates cut back and forth a little too much for the audience to get a sense of what is happening in the scene.
