Pirates of the Caribbean

I’m sure I’ll offend at least someone by this review, but if you have the stomach for it, read on, dear reader…This movie stinks, stinks, stinks. I fail to understand why it is so popular, except when I realize that probably the vast majority of viewers are silly teenage girls, the same demographic that made another extremely stinky movie, Titanic, so popular. I can just imagine them mooning over Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp. That leaves the teenage boys to moon over Keira Knightley, I guess. The screenplay is terrible–you have to suspend any attempt at making sense of it–and many of the attempts at humor are just stupid. Boy, do I ever dislike this one.
