Far be it from me to judge films like a specialist, but POC is quite an experience. Throughout the film you will obviously notice what makes it good, but perhaps not what makes it fairly appalling. Johnny Depp takes the part of a half maddened pirate who lost his ship years ago and subsequently arrives on an Island whereupon he encounters the blacksmith who has no expression. Keira Knightley is just as poor as her majesty's fellow servant. Luckily, Johnny Depp is so good, you don't notice the other two who are just terrible. All in all, the film is enjoyable, although the story lacks any real twists. How can you guys have rated it 8.1?
