I've always been a huge fan of Johnny Depp, and I thought he played his role well, but the rest of the movie was a let down for me. I kept getting a "been there, done that" feeling throughout. It seemed like one movie device after another was being thrown at me, including the ol' "I'll marry you to save so and so's life". Blah.
After the first sword fight, I was ready for something new. Instead, it was more and more sword fights, more pirate stereotypes, more regurgitation of every pirate movie ever done, etc. I didn't really have anyone to root for since I didn't care about most of the characters. They were all so poorly developed. They simply
interacted in front of me until the end. The ending had a high cheese factor too. Could have been much better in the hands of a competent director.
