I know that this movie isn't completely horror but it did have horrific imagery I'm sure we would all agree.
I thought the film was pretty good. Not a great film, but a good watch and a fun time at the movies. It was a little long and tended to drag at certain points, but I think that the development of the story depended on the less action packed portions of the movie and would have been a lesser film without it. What really shocked me was that the movie had a story, or at least an interesting one. The plot was very good and so were the characters. The story made me care about the characters and root for them, which is a rarity in movies like this. I thought the graphics were brilliant, my props to ILM. For those of you who know the ride at Disneyland, you probably recognized a few scenes, especially that of the pirate city. Most of the similar scenes exist in this portion of the film and a homage is paid to the ride when the characters exhibit many of the robotic mannerisms held therein. Overall this was a good film full action, dry humor and excellent acting lead by Johnny Depp who puts in a downright brilliant performance.
9/10
