I was very impressed by this movie. The plot line was excellent. An ex-colonel who lost his sight while in the service is looking for a way out of what he believes is a miserable existence, and he takes a prep school kid named Charlie along with him for the ride. Not only does Colonel Slade learn something about himself and ultimately give life a second chance, Charlie Simms also learns something from this man. I was semi-impressed with Chris O'Donnell in this film as a supporting actor. This is undoubtedly the first of many films he would come to be in, and he did a good job of establishing himself. Some could argue that he needed to work on his emotions in this film, but I think his reaction to Slade pulling that gun from his bag was reflective of Charlie's personality. Props to all of the other actors in the film, without whom we would have never been shown the many shades of Colonel Slade.

I liked this film a lot. It had an interesting plot with fantastic characters. Props to the actors in this film for keeping us interested. Four stars.

I had to watch this film a couple of times to get everything in. It is one of those films you really need to concentrate on in order to make sure you don't have any plot holes in your mind when you go to see the final installment of this series. I...

I had to watch this film a couple of times to get everything in. It is one of those films you really need to concentrate on in order to make sure you don't have any plot holes in your mind when you go to see the final installment of this series. I enjoyed the adventurous spirit of this movie, and the boldness of Elizabeth Swan. Keira Knightly is a gem in this role. She seems to have a great chemistry with Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow "savvy?") and Orlando Bloom (Will Turner). Bringing in the character of Davy Jones was excellent, but I don't know if bringing back Barbosa was smart in the end. That is the only part where I got confused. I will probably still wonder why he isn't still dead when I see the last movie. Four stars for this one.

The plot in this film was creatively done. The suspense was awesome. Ryan Gosling did an excellent job in his role. I was very impressed by his portrayal of a murderer. Sandra Bullock was excellent as well. Props to the casting director on this...

The plot in this film was creatively done. The suspense was awesome. Ryan Gosling did an excellent job in his role. I was very impressed by his portrayal of a murderer. Sandra Bullock was excellent as well. Props to the casting director on this film. I also thought it interesting to have Bullock's character's past collide with the current murder case she's working on (I think her past experience and the present goings-on were related somehow, right?). Ryan Gosling is a promising young actor.
