Ben’s review published on Letterboxd:
I can't sing praises loud enough for this film. With the endlessly charismatic Johnny Depp at the helm—literally—The Curse of the Black Peal proved to be the most entertaining, most clever, and all-around best adventure movie of its decade.
So, do as Captain Jack would: take pleasure in this extravaganza and ignore its tedious flaws (read: Orlando Bloom).
