The wife and I rented this with 3 nieces on the weekend. I thought the movie was quite entertaining actually. I didn't find myself wandering off as I do during some movies.
Keira, although not quite at her hottest, was, well, hot. To my eyes she's one of the hottest actresses out there. My wife and the girls (12, 15, 17) said that Orlando Bloom was also hot in this movie. I don't see it but then I don't go that way :) (his name doesn't exactly help the image). Nor did I see him being a blacksmith; a blacksmith the size of PeeWee Herman? Depp seemed over the top to me, but it does seem he was supposed to be that way. The story however kept me entertained, to me that's the bottom line. Some day soon we'll have to rent the second one.
I'd give it a 3 1/2 - 4 out of 5.
