Top of the Otts Film Countdown #15: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl


15. Pirates of the Caribbean
Perhaps the greatest mystery of the decade is how video game movies (Hitman, Max Payne) inevitably suck while Disney somehow managed to blow everyone away with a movie based on a pretty tame theme park attraction. Ultimately, the answer is a professional script-writer and Johnny Depp. So maybe not that big of a mystery then. So maybe the real mystery is what happened to Orlando Bloom. Is he so bad that Pirates and Lord of the Rings suffer along with him? Or has he gotten a raw deal?
