| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | The best movie I've ever seen in my life. It is my favorite of all time. The plot of this movie fits intricately together and makes for an amazing action movie. I'm not a big fan of action/ adventure, but Pirates does a great job of balancing the heart-stopping sword fighting with a wonderful plot and the most excellent sounding music I've ever heard. This will definitely become one of your favorites, too. I haven't met anyone yet who didn't LOVE it. |
