***The Blu-Ray Disc is gorgeous, with a kick-ass talking menu screen. Couldn't be happier***
I'm not a fan of pirate movies. In fact, I can't name a pirate movie unless I'm allowed to name a film that might have some emphasis on pirates, to which I would say 'The Goonies' is the best pirate film ever made.
So, when checking out 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl', I could have been described as "disgruntled skeptic". I mean, who the hell thought they could take a beloved Disney ride and make it into a coherent summer popcorn movie? Gore Verbinski, that's who.
I loved 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Johnny Depp was incredible, Geoffrey Rush was a force of nature, and the story of the cursed pirates was awesome. High action, high fun, and a seemingly 'high' pirate (Depp) as our tour guide. I still can't find much about the film that turns me off. I find it to be the perfect mix of action/romance/horror/comedy... a beautiful thing to behold.
AVOID THE SEQUELS LIKE A VENEREAL DISEASE.
