...Gilliam, who loathes the "juvenile fantasy" of movie heroism, makes the brothers pleasant but oafish; Headey, in a gorgeous, starmaking turn, is the real hero as the fearless witch Angelika. The movie's sense of humor is high-low in the Python style. It alternates the drollery of Jonathan Pryce's French villain (when Will charges, "You killed my friends," Pryce purrs, "I only wish you had more") with the labored buffoonery of Peter Stormare's Italian henchman. But in the enchanted forest, Grimm's sense of wonder is spellbinding--a reminder that Gilliam is as much shaman as showman...

Before they depart, they naturally pause to contemplate Porter's 73 years of existence. His homosexuality is not elided. His tense and enigmatic marriage to Linda Lee Thomas (Ashley Judd) is inconclusively examined. So is the riding accident that crushed both his legs and put him in constant, searing pain and (this is not mentioned) led to drug addiction for the last quarter-century of his life...
...island where Jack has landed, the Governor (Jonathan Pryce) wishes his spirited daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) to marry the local commodore (Jack Davenport). She has eyes for her childhood friend Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). But the island is attacked by pirates more fearsome than the larcenous Jack. The notorious Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) kidnaps Elizabeth to help break a curse on his ship, the Black Pearl. So Jack and Will forge a wary alliance. One wants the ship; the other wants the girl...
