I liked this movie a lot, too! Orlando and Johnny were great!
greeklawboy pointed out something very interesting about Johnny Depp during the movie. I asked why he was wearing the smudgy eyeliner and acting so "flamboyant," and he said that the powers-that-be based Captain Jack Sparrow's character on Keith Richards (of the Rolling Stones)!
Suddenly it all fell into place. IMO, Johnny has a spot on the next Stones tour if Keith ever suffers an untimely demise.
