The Hero Of The Sea

14 July, 2006

He is not Captain Hook. He is not as bad as other pirates we use to see in the movie. His heart is not as ugly as his dirty face which has gold teeth and outrageous eyeliner. He is a great fighter just like any other pirate. The important thing is he has sense of humor, though he is not a comedian. Yes, he is Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean (who else should I talk about? Nobody of the pirates who got those characters, right!).

Even without seeing the first movie (The Curse of the Black Pearl), we had wonderful time watching the second version: Dead Man's Chest. It seems that Sparrow owes a debt to Mr. Jones, a rather odd-looking fellow whose horrible octopus beard and lobster-claw hands. He is notoriously known as a ruler of the ocean depths and captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman ship which no other ship can match in speed and stealth. To escape from the curse and another curse, Capt. Jack has to find the key to unlock a mysterious box known as the "Dead Man's Chest" where Jones' soul of life is desperately given up because of his broken heart. He cheats Will and Elizabeth by using his trick to make up the misadventures. Unfortunately, the plot of the story ends up with confusing moment whether Capt. Jack would be able to survive from the most scary sea monster or not? Or I would say that the ending is such a clever trick that it leaves you hungry for Pirates version 3. Oh yeah, I can't wait to see next version.

Anyhow, I must say this is the best summer movie of the summer. I've got what I did expect from watching this movie, from the action to the humor (for sure). I'll tell you what, my summer treat won't be fun without it!
