Does Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl strike you as a very long title for any movie? Let alone one from Disney. It should, if you are at least somewhat conscious of average movie titles. And, in addition, the length of this 2.5 hour film will leave you stunned as to why the creators of this story were allowed to create such a lame plot. The film could have been made much shorter by just changing a few little useless aspects to the story itself.

The only saving grace was the ever-eccentric acting skills of Johnny Depp. His horrible attitude as a pirate, swaggering style of movement (almost drunk-like), and good lines with some playful use of words, helped make the drawn-out film somewhat tolerable to watch in a theater.
