The movie that created the legend of Jack Sparrow. The performance of Johnny Depp gave birth to an unpredictable and funny character that we can't help but love. His charisma makes him a scene-stealer but the other characters are still interesting enough to be able to entertain us without having to rely solely on Jack. I liked the identity crisis of Will between his life as a blacksmith who forgot his past and his life as the son of a pirate. In this movie he is the typical heroic protagonist who wants to save his love but the path he chooses at the end promises to show something else in the future from him. Elizabeth is a damsel in distress for the most part but she progressively shows that she doestn't hesitate to fight when necessary and try to be helpful instead of hiding herself like her father wants her to. She can be annoying sometimes but not to the point of being despicable. Finally, the other character that made a big impression on me is Barbossa, I couldn't really hate him and I pitied him because I understood his motivations even if he had it coming and the curse was the result of his greediness. To conclude, I would say that I love this adventure movie and to me this is the best of this franchise because it is the less complicated one and it doesn't have to add a lot of twists and turns to be entertaining.
