Visual Analysis Post

The movie review I just a read was about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which is the first movie in the trilogy. The critic, Sean O’Connell, talks about how typically in Hollywood pirate movies are a no go but Pirates of the Caribbean could be the movie that changes that. He says that a big part in its success is how well it was made. With the technology available they were able to digitally turn real people into skeletons and back again which was a very intriguing aspect. Something I found interesting was that even after all that praise, the critic only gave the movie a 3.5. Its one of my favorite movies so personally I would give it a 5!

PIRATES was good, Maggie, but a movie has to be perfect to earn a 5-star rating (from me, at least).

Thanks for reading my review.

Some critics are really harsh when they rate all-time favorite movies. And it's true that pirate movies usually don't make it very well in theaters, but Pirates of the Caribbean was very well done. Sean should be kinder in his reviews.
