Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl

Date: 5 August, 2006
Weather: Fine

I woke up at around 12noon and got a message from my friend to meet up in Causeway Bay. We were heading to watch a movie - Pirates of the Carribbean, The Curse of the Black Pearl. We were supposed to buy the tickets in advance but seemed this movie was pretty popular and most seats were reserved. Therefore, we tried to move to Cyberport as we knew it's not so crowded there. That was my first time to Cyberport. We took a minibus in Causeway Bay and it just took us about 20 minutes ride to get there. It was a nice place with nice looking building. But nothing much to see over there.. haha
We had a quick lunch there at food court. I and my freinds ordered a lunch set which had pasta, salad and a drink. It's pretty nice.
Pirates of the Caribbean is an enjoyable picture, harkening back to the time when Pirates ruled the seas and to a time when they were feared by all. Johnny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow is a pirate and he's a funny one at that. He's caught up in an adventure where the Govenor's daughter, Elizabeth is kidnapped by the crew of the Black Pearl and together with Will Turner who's her freind since childhood. Jack join forces and set out to rescue her. The film is full of swashbuckling adventure, sword fighting, battle scenes, chases. Some times, the film goes from drama to comedy, but it works really well. But I think as always, industrial light and magic have done a superb job of the special effects. Johnny Depp plays the role of Jack with a great deal of enthusiasm and camp and Orlando Bloom is great as the blacksmith who is deeply in love with Elizabeth. Yeah, anyway, it's a good film.
