It's tons of fun to watch with the film having just the right tone, Barbosa is a great villain, and Johnny Depp is perfect as Jack Sparrow in this film (the latter sequels would progressively dumb him down).
Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley both do serviceable jobs as well, I was surprised when I found out Knightley was only 17 when she filmed this movie. She looked a lot older.
And who doesn't love the main theme?

It's a shame the pirate sequels became increasingly more bloated, and even this one is a little too long, but it's always entertaining.
