Title: Typical Disney work
Review: I love pirates and tales of adventure, so I was looking forward to watching this movie. But it turns out, unfortunately, that this is a typical Disney movie, with the typical Disney humor. Complete with the two stupid bad guys, the dumb British old guy plus (new & improved!) the dumb British young guy, flawlessly beautiful, haughty heroine, and Orlando Bloom as the hero. I couldn't help laughing aloud to see that scrawny Bloom playing the part of a blacksmith's apprentice - ! The fact that the heroine gets stranded on a deserted island with a drunk pirate captain and presumably manages to avoid being raped also bothered me. It seems to me that the movie makers were most interested in the horror aspect of the film, which was interesting but totally sensational and, I thought, redundant.Johnny Depp's performance was great, of course, but it couldn't save the movie. The soundtrack is very enjoyable. I'd rather listen to it than watch the movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
