I watched Pirates of the Carribean last night. Great movie! I was apprehensive to go to the theaters and watch it, but I’m glad that my buddy Case bought the DVD for me as a Christmas gift.

The special effects, action, and story all meshed together well and the humor that was thrown into the movie was the right amount at the right times. Johnny Depp played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow better than anyone could have imagined. At parts he didn’t seem like a pirate, but he played the crazy, cracked out pirate perfectly. Orlando Bloom played the significant part of Jack Turner who would win the heart of Elizabeth Swann, played by Keira Knightley. What’s a good movie without a beautiful woman…right? Keira was really a happy surprise in the movie. I thought I recognized her, but after looking up her name, I’ve never seen her before. I think the part she played will get her a lot of big roles in the near future.

I don’t want to give away too much of the movie, so I’ll leave it like this.

Go out and rent this movie if you haven’t seen it.
