Just got back from viewing Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It is an excellent movie. I'd go back and watch it again if asked. The story was good, the screen play was by the same guys that did Shrek. The sword fights were choreographed to the music. And the special effects were so seamlessly integregated you almost don't notice them. There are just enough hints of the Disney ride to make you smile. I think Walt would have liked this movie.

One warning, you might want to go without the young'uns so you can decide if they are going to be disturbed by the scarrier bits. Trust me it's OK, you will want to watch it again with them.

Mrs Noded and I are waiting for it to come out on DVD
