pirated

so pirates' deadman's chest sets an all time $132M record beating spiderman 2 and of course superman returns. i was rooting for superman returns to make box office records but i guess captain jack sparrow had more charm to the US audience. i watched pirates last friday when mindy and i decided to be bad office role models and see the 245pm showing at amc. admittedly, i didn't have the same childlike excitement to see pirates than when i watched superman last week. but seeing johnny depp as captain jack sparrow, you can't help but fall in love with his funny antics - and he delivers it flawlessly. i thought keira was much more pretty in the first movie and she does resembles winona ryder in some angles. orlando bloom was okay but i think they could have used a hunkier co-lead for the movie. i thought the movie was entertaining, largely because of depp. the story was quite interesting too except that it leaves you hanging at the end - deliberately for sure to get you hungry for the 3rd film next year. the special effects of the movie was great but i was grossed out by all the bad teeth and how filthy the pirates looked in the movie. you would think being at sea meant bath will never be a problem. hahaha aragorn (from lord of the rings) despite all the battles looked much more cleaner and he sure knew back then that brushing your teeth was just good personal hygiene. hahaha
