f%$#, I hit show results about a second before I realized it wouldn't let me vote again after I did that. Mark an extra one for Pirates, eh?

I thought PotC was great, particularly the strong acting talent present in the flick. Depp is a great actor in the right role (and this was the right role), not to mention the other talent - known and unknown - filling the other key roles. Jack, Elizabeth, the governor, the commidore, the two pairs of idiots (Royal Navy and Pirates), so on and so forth. Special effects were damn good as well, especially the human-undead transitions. Same goes for the non-CG special effects. I particularly found the bit where the one pirate goon got the fork stuck in his fake eye quite good, seeing how it moved around. (I wonder if he's actually missing an eye) The swordplay was good as well; very fast-paced, very interesting. At times a little unbelievable, but nothing compared to stuff like Crouching Tiger Hidden Flywire. The script was pretty good, not particularly lacking in any areas aside from "is this possible/probable?" stuff; definitely loaded full with appropriately placed humor, typically thanks to Mr. Depp. I'd say it beats out Reloaded only because the script for Reloaded dragged in places and wasn't as strong. Still, a very good flick. I think I shall pick it up when it comes to DVD. (Yes, this means I will actually own a Disney DVD)

By the way, I will say that Johnny Depp's character is basically a more sober Hunter S. Thompson (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) with a different accent and better clothes. (and a touch of heroism) You could describe the movie as "Disney Ride meets Fear and Loathing". Good stuff.

BB2. By FAR. I haven't and do not intend on seeing PotC because of that jackoff Depp, so I can't comment on that movie.

That Jackoff Depp can out act W. Smith,M Lawrence or Ahnald anyday of the week and twice on Saturdays!

I think you've been watching far too much 21 Jump Street

And you've been watching to much Fresh Prince of Bel Air

If you were to compare Depps roles in his movies to Ahnold,Smith and Lawrence you'd have to give Depp the Nod by a large Margin. He has versatility where as Ahnold, Smith and Lawrence more or less play the same Characters over and over (I thought Smith sucked in Ali). Depp was fantastic in "From Hell" and "Blow" he latest movies prior to Pirates
