pirates

Saw Pirates of the Carribean last night and it had some really good scenes. I think this one is called, "End of the World." Keira looked fine. While the first Pirates is my favorite, Keira looked so fantastic and had such a strong role in this one that I would recommend it. There are some embarrassingly ridiculous moments in all three of these movies but I guess that's inevitable when the objective is to squeeze out amusement park dollars. It would be great to see Keira as a pirate queen with an all female crew wreaking havoc on all challengers and a pair of Jamaican sweethearts (female).
Johnny Depp is quite good again. He and Cary Grant have to be two of the best male actors of all time. The more textured the script, the better Johnny does. End of the World has another tight script. The weakness seems to be in the producers trying to force some unrelated element into the plot. In the first Pirates, why did they put the "skeleton ballet" in? It's just good business?
