On the Yahoo Movie site, the average rating of this movie by the critics is B-, but the from users is A+. The reason is critics tend to view movies differently than users, and this movie is just a lot of fun. Sure there are things that aren't quite right, and maybe the plot isn't that deep, but the movie is fun. A classic good versus evil, with the girl getting kidnapped and the lover going after her. Excellent special effects. I didn't much care for Johnny Depp before this movie, but he was just the right touch of humour. I could recommend this for everyone in the family but some scenes are just too scary. There's no coarse language of nudity, but there is violence. Well worth the price of a movie ticket and it should be seen on the big screen.

Storyline from Yahoo: Set in the Caribbean Sea in the 17th century, this is the story of a gentleman rogue of a pirate, Jack Sparrow (Depp), who teams up with the daughter (Knightley) of a governor (Pryce) to stop the evil plan of a ship of dangerous pirates (led by Rush) who are trying to reverse an ancient curse that leaves them stuck between life and death, with the light of the moon revealing their skeletons, like some kind of undead monsters.
