Arrrrrgh!

Just came back from a sneak preview of Pirates of the Caribbean. It was good, silly fun. Better than Cutthroat Island, not quite Captain Blood. Good summer junk food, with great fx and solid fight choreography (although it's pretty low on the swashbuckling scale). Johnny Depp makes up for years of subtle acting by chewing about two tons of scenery, but Jack Sparrow is a part that calls for overacting. Alas, the best line is given away in the previews (a shame, too, as it's better in context), but there's really very little to complain about with this one. Great cast, fun script.

Oh, and do sit through the credits. :-)
