Here is a film with a massive fanbase that was quite the event when it first came out. To me however, this is a rather lackluster effort that despite being well-made from a production design perspective, contains a rather cringe-inducing character in Jack Sparrow that doesn't really appeal to me. The story is also rather lacking and never gets me interested.

The effects are good for the time and Kiera Knightley is charming but this just wasn't my cup of tea.
