I Can Kill You With My Brain

Yesterday we watched “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”, the original movie in the PotC trilogy.  I have probably seen this movie 10 times since it was released.  I’m a big fan and I love it.  Despite that, I was afraid that the movie wouldn’t hold up.  I have not seen it in over a year and my wonderful memories of it hype it up even more.  I was concerned I was going to be let down by one of my favorite movies of the last ten years.

I had no reason to be concerned.  The movie holds up wonderfully.  The action was still exciting, the story still engaging, and the dialog still brilliant.  I even found myself laughing out loud at much of the funny dialog, even though I knew most of the jokes that were coming.  “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” is a modern classic.  30 years from now it needs to be known as a true classic.  It is hands-down one of my favorite movies.
