Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Welcome to the third day of my Halloween Blog Party!
This entry doesn't actually have anything to do with what my sisters and I were. But, I realized that I had scheduled my blog party for four days, and there are only three of us, so I thought I would do a bonus review that was somewhat related!
(Clue: Pirates...)

This is actually based on the Disneyland Ride (weird, am I right?).

My guarantee: On ALL of my reviews there are NO spoilers unless it says so.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003):
"Actually, I find it quite fascinating."
"That's what concerns me."
Elizabeth Swan, daughter of the Governor, is taken prisoner by a group of pirates under a curse. They think they need a medallion of hers and her blood to break the curse. Will Turner gets the help of pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to get Elizabeth back.
"I'm telling the story!"
Genre: Swashbuckler, Adventure.
Length: 143 minutes (approx.).
Costumes: 5, there are some good ones, but it is low, or people are in their underclothes a lot of the time.
"It is the latest fashion in England."
"Well, women in England must have learned to not breathe."
My favorite: I really really like this hat, I don't know why, but I always have. This is the best picture I could find.
Script: 7, there are a few bad words/swearing.
"It's such a pretty boat...ship."

    Oh, you know I love this movie! It's by far the best Pirates. The others were fine, and I haven't seen the 5th one yet, but this one is the only one that stands out as really good.

      It's a classic. :) Even though it is very creepy I've been watching it for as long as I can remember. And it is the best one. I haven't seen the 5th one yet either. :)

    I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO adore this movie. I still remember the first time I saw a trailer for it and was just mesmerized, going, "What even IS this?" It was so very, very much better than I was expecting.

      Oh yes, I remember not being able to wait for the sequels (which were never as good). It is a lot better then you would think. The actors, the sets, the MUSIC!
