A bunch of pirates have been cursed and need the blood of a certain individual to break the curse. They end up chasing two englishpersons, Elizabeth played by Keira Knightley, and Will played by Orland Bloom. Helping them out is the good guy pirate Captain Jack Sparrow played by Depp.

Depp gives an energetic performance to be sure but this movie goes way over the top with outrageous scenes and dialogue that would never happen in real life. I love action-adventure movies and I wish the producers had taken this show seriously and left out all the slapstick. There's even a running gag about a pirate with a glass eye.
