Until now no one had dared to approach TRASMOZ again, there is talk of dangerous creatures of the night, witches and living dead who protect the place run by the evil magician Mutamin inmortal servant of the devil and master of the inaccessible castle and the watchtower. I frankly suspect this explanation had to be shoe-horned into the script after the event to explain this weird and wacky loping gait that Depp worked up for the role a mixture of Chuck Berry and wrestler Les Kellet.
The purpose of the Rune of Chastisement is not to inflict pain or suffering but rather to bring about transformation and enlightenment.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Since the death of Robert Newton, the definitive Long John Silver in Disney's Treasure Island 50 years ago, we have been waiting for a modern pirate film featuring someone who, in all seriousness, actually says the words, or perhaps the two-syllable single word: "Ah-harrrrrr!" Geoffrey Rush, playing the villainous, pop-eyed seadog Barbossa in this enjoyable romp, gives it his best shot, a phlegmy gargle of rage. A pleasing note of ancestor worship. Earlier though, someone shouts the word "Avast!" at a bunch of mutinous tars and everyone just giggles. The pirate genre isn't easy to revive without traces of irony, like traces of tin in a phoney doubloon.
Jerry Bruckheimer produces and Gore Verbinski directs, that safest of safe pairs of hands who brought us The Ring and The Mexican. Between them they have come up with a very entertaining and unpretentious pirate picture inspired by the Disney theme-park ride, invented in 1967, now available at Florida and Disneyland Paris and considered the granddaddy of "dark rides": the dramatised quasi-narrative attraction. At 13 minutes, you can actually have more than 10 goes on it in the time it takes to watch this movie - a pretty lengthy two-and-a-quarter hours.
Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth, the beautiful young daughter of a colonial governor, played by Jonathan Pryce - a much happier outing for this sterling actor than his appearance in What a Girl Wants (reviewed opposite). Elizabeth is being courted by the pompous young naval officer Norrington, excellently played by Jack Davenport, who, with careful career nurturing, could soon be rivalling Jason Isaacs as Hollywood's favourite Brit lip-curler. But Elizabeth, bless her feistily independent heart, has a tendresse for a handsome but lowly-born young blacksmith descended from pirate stock: Will Turner, played by the stolid and fey-looking Orlando Bloom.
Elizabeth carries around her neck an old remnant of pirate treasure which causes her to be kidnapped by the unspeakable Barbossa, who needs it to lift a terrible curse on him and his crew. So Will and Norrington set off in hot pursuit, but to find him they need the help of a certain irrepressible scallywag: the notorious pirate Jack Sparrow.
And this, of course, is the lovable Johnny Depp himself, whose eccentric and intelligent comic presence raises this movie's game - and further contributes to his reputation as an actor who can boost left-field projects or make mainstream projects look left-field. He looks and sounds very, very odd indeed, seeming like a straggly-haired New Ager with an out-of-control goatee that has developed various etiolated strands down his front. He has a quavering, affected English accent, which Depp perhaps imagines to be that of a cheeky cockney: hence the surname. He can only have learned it doing the Suits You sketch on The Fast Show, and seems perpetually on the verge of saying: "The ladies like a man in a fiery red bandanna, don't they sir? Pieces of Eight? Does she want them, sir? Does she?"
How did Sparrow escape from the remote island where Barbossa once imprisoned him, someone asks? By roping together two turtles and using them as a raft, a subordinate explains. And what did he use for rope? "I used human hair," interrupts Sparrow imperiously, "from my back!" Oooh, blimey. Depp has also developed a strange walk, a kind of loopy stagger, which is attributed to the sunstroke he suffered as a castaway. I frankly suspect this explanation had to be shoe-horned into the script after the event to explain this weird and wacky loping gait that Depp worked up for the role: a mixture of Chuck Berry and wrestler Les Kellet.
The film as a whole is very funny and more than a little camp, reminding me of a remarkable book on the subject: BR Burg's Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition, published in 1982: a study admired by the late historian Christopher Hill, which suggested that homosexuality was the dominant culture of piracy in the Caribbean - a facet unaccountably overlooked in its representation in popular culture, though it could be residually detectable in the fashion sense.
There's lashings of swashbuckling adventure, with lots of swinging on ropes and a terrific sea battle between Sparrow's men and Barbossa's. The dialogue by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio - who wrote Shrek - may not be as crammed with sparkling gags as that masterpiece, but it's amiable, amusing and has its fair share of wit, particularly the perpetual invoking of the pirate "rules", which are always being broken with a different character each time claiming that they are really more "code guidelines" than actual rules.
The jury is out on Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom: they are both pretty bland as juvenile leads, and don't get any good lines, but really their destiny is to be outrageously upstaged by the gurning, snarling, cutlass-twirling character actors Depp, Rush and Davenport, who shepherd the movie to its conclusion. As the ride chugs back down to earth and safety bars are removed, allowing the punters to depart, Depp whimsically announces: "I think we've all arrived at a very special place: spiritually, ecumenically, grammatically. " Commercially, too.
