boldygoing: (Disbelief)

Jim was more concerned about cultural references and tropes he wouldn't get, but he supposes he can always ask later if something he doesn't understand comes up.

The movie holds his attention from the beginning, watching as the world slowly unfolds on the screen. And of course it certainly doesn't hurt that the actors playing Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann as adults are both attractive. He nods in satisfaction at the work put into making the swordfight in the blacksmith's shop look flashy and impressive yet still practical and natural, and he makes a mental note to introduce Sulu to this film sometime.

Of course, the real surprise comes aboard the Black Pearl, and Jim watches in somewhat appalled fascination as the villainous Captain Barbossa reveals the truth of the curse.
