Plot: Film based on the Disneyworld ride "Pirates of the Caribbean". An Aztec curse has turned a group of pirates into the living dead, moonlight shows them for what they are - a skeleton crew. They kidnap Knightley to try and end the curse because of a medallion she has. Disreputable Depp and brave Bloom set off to rescue her.

A stunning performance by Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. Neat imaginative writing. Everything is very tongue in cheek. Hollywood filmmaking at its best. The sequels are plotless disasters.
