Pirates of the Caribbean
#15
Quote:If it wasn't for Depp's "Jack Sparrow", the movie would have slipped into tedium within the first 20 minutes. Indeed, until the first scene of him with windblown hair and piercing gaze atop the mast only to slide down and reveal a sloop with a rapidly-filling hull, I wasn't impressed.
That is as much is to be intended. Prior to his arrival, all scenes beforehand were expository— the setting up of the story to be told. Sparrow's arrival sets forth certain motions that starts off the action of the film (though, technically, it was Elizabeth's plunge in to the water that beckoned the Black Pearl, but if Sparrow had not saved her, there need not be any kidnapping nor pursuit).

But all in all, it is agreed: Depp carried the film on his back.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
