Back To The Past

This is a rollicking movie, with a phenomenal soundtrack, often breathtaking cinematography, an action-laden script, and a delightfully tongue-firmly-in-cheek performance by Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow. It is a bit longer than I expected, but that's not bad for an enjoyable viewing experience. The two-disk set limited edition has some wonderful bonus features, too--though one, "Bloopers of the Caribbean," seems to be missing. I couldn't find it anywhere on the DVD set I bought, at least.
Also be warned: if your DVD player is more than 5 years old, the feature film disk may not play properly on your DVD player. It may not play at all. According to the customer service folk at DisneyDVD.com/support, some of the code on the film's disk is too new for older DVD players to read. But the additional features disk plays just fine.
Normally, the 3rd film of a trilogy won't necessarily make sense without one's first having seen the other two, but this film does stand on its own. Still, seeing Pirates I and Pirates II will enhance one's appreciation of what otherwise would be incomprehensible inside jokes in Pirates III.
