Rated ARRRRRR!!

2003-07-09 John Winkelman

Just returned from watching Pirates of the CARRRRRibbean and I have to say, I very much enjoyed it. Good story, great acting, lots of action, and best of all (and most unexpected), it is an INTELLIGENT Disney movie. I didn’t feel talked down to.

It is also good to see that ARRRlando Bloom can play characters that aren’t elves.

I haven’t seen a good pirate movie in a long time. There was Yellowbeard , yea many years ago…pretty good Monty Python – ish flick. The Pirate Movie which was awful, Cutthroat Island , which was okay but not paticularly memorable. Yeah, this one is right up at the top of the genre.

Final rating: 4 out of 5 ARRRRRRs.

Yeah, that would have been a totally different movie.
