Pirates Of The Caribbean : The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003) 8/10

Starring : Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush
Director : Gore Verbiski
Running Time : 135 mins

In the first installment of the popular trilogy, Elizabeth Swann (Knightly) is kidnapped by evil pirate Captain Barbossa (Rush), and the only person willing to try and save her is blacksmith Will Turner (Bloom) who is head over heals in love with her. He teams up with rascally rogue Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) and together they go in search of the pirate ship The Black Pearl, not suspecting that the crew are all under an ancient curse.

This is a fantastic family film; chock-filled with action, romance, and scary zombie pirates, this has something for everyone! Johnny Depp is extraordinary as Jack Sparrow, and Geoffrey Rush plays the bad guy to full effect.
