pirates of the caribbean/DVD

[three_hundred_fifty_five]

I've finally seen the movie since it became available for rental on DVD. I will have the say the fencing was pretty fake, but in a good way. Enough for me to believe everyone was actually swordfighting.
I was also impressed by Johnny Depp's acting. He was really able to get into the role and maintain a realistic English accent, even though he was surrounded by English actors/actresses.
The black eye make-up was kind of overdone though.

the black eye makeup looked great. johnny depp is one of the few men who can pull off eyeliner. i also liked him in this movie. i thought his acting was great. he really seemed crazy. fun stuff.

At least in that one scene in the blacksmith shop for that one view where they pulled back and showed the two of them moving back and forth, the footwork was moderately ok.

I envy Johnny Depp:
He was having so much fun, in fact, i think most of the leads had so much fun that it's a crime that they are actually paid to do this.

In this regard, this movie is like "Princess Bride"

Oh, another similarity: the principal characters - I mean the pretty boys and girls - are so straight that they are ironboard stiff!!!
