            Review: This is one TERRIFIC movie! It was the movie that absoultely sold me on Johnny Depp forever. The writers may have invented the character, but Johnny Depp brought him to life (and not what writers had in mind either!). Orlando Bloom spends most of the movie as a geek, but a likable geek most times, and always hot. Keira Knightly is super cool as strong willed Elizabeth. She’s a smart one, she is! I LOVE this movie. I saw it twice at the theater and I’ve seen it over 20 times here at home. I am obsessed, yes, but you can never get enough Pirates of the Caribbean and you can take my word for that. Super funny and exciting, definitely worth seeing.
