Movies and Pirates of the Caribbean

 Hello friends! As you may know, I'm a total movie fanatic and recently watched "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" or (POTC) for the second time. Although I have only seen the first movie in the POTC series, it has quickly become one of my favorite movies of all time! But that's only in the general sense of course. I'd probably have different favorites in different catergories. For example, I'm also a huge Marvel fanatic, and if asked what my favorite Marvel movie was, obviously it wouldn't be POTC because that's not a Marvel movie! (My favorite Marvel movie is "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" in case you were wondering.)
                 
                 I think I'm going to start my own movie review. Every few blog posts, I'll choose a movie I like and review all the things I like about it and things I wish were better or were different. I've already mentioned POTC. I love the big sword fights, and, being someone who likes to be snarky and sarcastic, naturally, I'm absolutely taken with Jack Sparrow! He has so many great one-liners!

"You cheated!"
"Pirate"

"If you were waiting for the opportune moment......that was it"

"You've got to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of"
"Yes, but you have heard of me"

Just to name a few! There's really only one thing I can complain about in this movie and that is the CGI on the skeletons. It's not the best, but I also need to take into account that this movie came out in 2003. CGI wasn't as good as it is now, so I guess there really is nothing I can complain about. The script was written very cleverly, and everyone loves a story about cursed Aztec gold and big cannon battles in the middle of the ocean!  Although I haven't seen any of the other POTC movies, I've been told they get progressively more bizzare as they go along. I'll probably still watch them anyway, just so I can form my own opinion of them, but I'm fully prepared for none them to come even close to being as good as the first movie.
          Well that's all I've got for now,
