Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is nothing like as menacing as Hook, but he's a joke, nevertheless. He minces about in full makeup, with beads through his dreads, speaking in an Essex accent, taking danger in his stride. He's either the worst pirate who ever lived, or a wily warrior only pretending to be a fool.
Everyone likes a good pirate and as pirates go Jack Sparrow is an odd cove. He undermines his heroic credentials by playing the giddy arse. He can't take himself seriously and yet his situation is dire. His ship, The Black Pearl, has been stolen by his dastardly first mate Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and he's in chains after saving the Governor of Port Royal's daughter (Keira Knightley) from drowning.
That is the beginning of a rollicking adventure that involves a blacksmith's assistant (Orlando Bloom), a straight laced lieutenant (Jack Davenport) and a chest of Aztec gold. Barbossa and his crew have been cursed to live forever as the undead until the last of the stolen gold has been returned, together with the blood of the last thief. The blacksmith's assistant's dad was that very person, but he walked the plank after refusing to join Barbossa's mutiny, which is why his offspring is so important to the skeletal pirates. His blood, and his alone, can relieve them of the curse, but he knows none of this. Not yet.
