Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Very much feels from a by gone era where being a blockbuster meant something.
We still get films that use their budget in every frame but the way we as an audience and studio value those types of films are all but high.

Like lets be honest, what is a blockbuster? Does that mean anything nowadays besides having a big budget and star power attached to it?
Like i feel zack snyder tries his best and comes close, batman v superman is a bold film that, while i don't love, there is a passion you can see both onscreen with the cinematography and writing.

Pirates of the carribean is like seeing an almost dead species, one of last newborns and witnessing it grow older and healthier until it gets to old and loses that health.
The soundesign, cinematography, performances, story are all satisfying and culminate in this epic that involves the British.
Gore verbinski brings a more adult weight of the film but in a way that its not for kids.

The cinematography is great with its great lighting and sets.
The costumes are also immaculate.
