Pirates of the Caribbean is so far the best adventure film series of the new millenium, and one of the all time greatest produced. If you have not seen it, immediately move it into your queue, and I hope you have a wonderful time experiencing it. You may be asking yourself, "Why do I claim 'Pirates' as one of the greatest?"

Curse of the Black Pearl is one of the coolest movies. Johnny Depp usually plays obscure or unique characters in most of his movies and this is why he was the best choice for Jack Sparrow. Although he did have to be coached in the design of the character as his initial choice was to have all of Jacks teeth to be gold, and Gore Verbinski shot that idea down and told him to remove most of them.

The thing that I liked the most was the CGI used to create the cursed crew. The transformations between their living form and their dead form was amazing. It a great opening to a really cool trilogy.
