Review:
It has taken me well over nine years to finally come around to watching this series, but no time like the present to catch what has been heralded as one of the greatest series ever produced. Especially a series filmed in my family's home country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Pirates of the Caribbean is everything that has already been said about it - the superb scenery and outfits, the wonderful writing, and the excellent talent that tied it all together is remarkable. Especially the character of Captain Jack Sparrow by Johnny Depp.
The first film in the series was thrilling, and really set the tone for the others to come. If you haven't seen this film yet, like I had not, it's not too late. It is very much worth the watch.
Grade: 5/5
