Johnny Depp gets all the credit for the success of this franchise, and he brought a hell of a lot - but you know what? There are other actors who could've played the part: Robert Downey Jnr, Eric Roberts, Bruce Campbell. The part is so well written and clear.
It's a bright, fun, lively movie - simple to follow though it has some complexity (I got lost occasionally with the rules of the curse though it did all make sense). Will and Elizabeth are a bit dull but they kind of have to be so everyone else can shine. There's no real great romantic scene between them - there's more heat between her and Jack Sparrow. But a very good script with lively support characters and a believable world.
