Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) by Vidyabum — 23 May 2014
To cut it short, this movie would be a great adventure and pirate movie with every possible quality if it didn't try to cram every single scene with comic relief.
Now I like comic relief and I understand this is a Disney movie, but when Jack Sparrow is having his epic final battle with Barbossa and everything hangs in the balance of that fight, interrupting it several times to see the governor batting a skeletal forearm like a wuss and seeing a pirate chase after his glass eye amidst the fighting in a tom-and-jerry kind of comedy is the last thing I want to see.
The overabundance of misplaced comic relief brings a solid 8 or maybe 9/10 to a 6 or 7 at best.
