Curse Of The Black Pearl Jack Sparrow Entrance

 Johnny Depp's portrayal of Capt. Jack Sparrow is a work of mischievous thespian abandon that is playful and promising at first. This comment also applies to the overly long film itself, which immerses us in the mildewy turmoil and clutter of the Disneyland theme-park ride on which it is anchored, but never quite transforms itself into a full blown movie. Oscar-caliber set designs, costumes and art direction position us for a visually lush adventure, as a young blacksmith (Orlando Bloom) enlists the aid of Sparrow to rescue the governor's kidnapped daughter (Keira Knightley). A curse of stolen Aztec gold that has turned pirate captain Barbossa and his cutthroats into 'living dead' complicates their mission. With some editing, this tale about men once compelled by greed who are now consumed by it could have been more akin to such classics as The Crimson Pirate than just a reminder that they exist. Directed by Gore Verbinski (The Ring). 
When the Black Pearl engages the Interceptor the pirates ignite the powder kegs causing the Interceptor to explode completely. The explosion is followed by an areal shot of the island and a clear view of the Black Pearl and the Interceptor fully intact, mast and all, though it just exploded. Printable poker chip stickers. Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa: The captain of the Black Pearl, he was Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate before he led a mutiny ten years before. He and his crew stole cursed Aztec gold, for which they are cursed to walk the earth forever. In The Curse of the Black Pearl when Koehler and Twigg find Jack Sparrow in Fort Charles prison, Jack says that the deepest circle of Hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers. In the junior novelization book he says that the deepest circle of Davy Jones's Locker is reserved for betrayers and mutineers. Anchored by an edgy, fearless performance by Depp as the now-iconic Captain Jack Sparrow, 'The Curse of the Black Pearl' bravely, but humorously, takes its ludicrous supernatural pirates plot seriously, and the result is a confident, enthralling spectacle.
