It has a great, gorgeous, wonderful introductory scene for Johnny Depp &#8211; if your character is introduced with such a good scence once in your career as an actor, you can be very proud. All in all, Johnny Depp&#8217;s character, Captain Jack Sparrow, is what makes this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0325980\/\" title=\"Review on the Internet Movie Database\">movie<\/a> live. Without him, there&#8217;s not much ado. I sorely missed drama, romance, fear and anger. The movie remains pretty shallow 95% of the time: If dramatic situations arise, Walt Disneyesque solutions are presented. By this I mean that a potential crisis is usually resolved by resorting to bland comedy, using flat jokes and effects. It&#8217;s a pity. I am sorry to report that the ending is not very convincing &#8211; I did really identify with many of the characters, I would have been ready for great romance, a cliff hanger, anything. *sigh* Nonetheless: I liked many of the gorgeous pictures and ideas in this movie and if you like the genre, if you like Johnny Depp or Legolas a.k.a Orlando Bloom then: watch it and enjoy.
