Now, when most people think "Pirate" they think high adventure and Romance. Yes, this pirate movie, the best of three, does have those, so breathe easy. BUT, it includes so much more. Subtle plot twists, intertwining character stories, and the like. In fact, this movie actually has more plot development and character interaction than it does action sequences, which don't disappoint. The movie takes a turn by adding in surrealism, using Jack Sparrow and his world-famous Jackanisms en masse to add another dimension and edge to the way the plot develops, and also are used to show another side of his nature as a character. The acting, particularly on the part of Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, is impeccable, and finally, the minor characters who everyone loves get their moments to shine.
