Summary: Excellent movie!
Review: This movie is incredible. You don't really hate anyone in this film including the bad guys and that's a really nice change from the cliche of modern movies. Each person has their own almost noble reason for what they're doing. Also, to answer a couple of questions to a post from earlier complaining about inconsistancies with the plot of the film. 1) Will didn't kill his father. His father wasn't cursed like the others because he didn't agree with what they did so they killed him. 2) Jack didn't become cursed until he stole the one piece of gold at the chest where the others were trying to lift the curse. That's why he slit his hand and tossed his piece to Will at the end and then Will cut his hand to remove the curse. I hope this is making sense.. and helps. The movie is remarkably enjoyable. A must have. ... Thank you kindly for your time and patience!

Summary: Great Movie, but the blooper bothered me too
Review: I too was disturbed that Will "killed" his own father by ending the curse, but aside from that little flaw, the movies WAS fantastic and Johnny Depp should win an Oscar nomination at least. The special effects were perfect and the rest of the performances were outstanding too. I loved the performance of the two British soldiers who did a great homage to Laurel and Hardy!
Can't wait to add this DVD to my collection!

Summary: Unexpected greatness
Review: I never expected this movie to make my all time list of good action movies, but it had. Johnny Depp, who excels at playing oddball characters, really took ahold of Captain Jack Sparrow. Sexy, yet clever, driven, but with heart, Depp took what could have been a very boring lead and made it into a stellar performance. Orlando Bloom was also equally likable but he has some quirks in his charater. He didn't have much depth and his best scenes involve swordplay. Miss Kingsley played her part well though she also lacked character depth. All in all, the movie was great. The first action sequence when the Black Pearl enters the harbor blew me away. I think this film went above the action genre. Geoffery Rush and the other pirates added humor but also kept the movie slightly dark. I expected some cheesy acting and even cheesier graphics, but Disney hit a gold mine with Pirates of the Caribbean, I think everyone was a little shocked at how the movie turned out, and it turned out to be awesome.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Superb job by J Depp.
However the British cast of Orlando Bloom The devine Keira Knightly are just as good.
Worth the price of the dvd just for Keira.
Top British Totty and only 18.

Summary: Great movie, but here are the bloopers...
Review: I loved this movie, and am giving it all five stars.
However, on a more professional bent, there are a couple rather major problems with the movie that are not addressed at all. First, WILL TURNER KILLS HIS FATHER. his father was under the curse along with the rest of the pirates who had taken the gold, and so, tho tied to a cannon at the bottom of the sea, he was not dead because, (like the pirates who walked on their way along the ocean floor) he couldn't drown. That is, not until Will put the last blood-stained pieces into the chest. Then his father, and all the other pirates turned back into humans, and only then would his father have drowned.
The second problem is how the gold pieces were stained with the blood of all those who had taken it in the first place. those who had taken the gold were turned in to skeleton beings. well, if you noticed during the duration of the movie, when they are stabbed, chopped up, and so on, the SKELETONS DON'T BLEED! so how did Jack Sparrow manage to bleed on his coin when he was a skeleton? or all the other pirates for that matter? can they bleed at will?
I really wonder...maybe there are answers to these problems somewhere on the cutting room floor, or maybe they thought we just wouldn't notice...
Anyway, I really liked the movie and all, but it just can't compare to the literary level of the movies based on Tolkein's books...

Summary: Great fun...
Review: I had purposely avoided all reviews before seeing this film, so as to not have any pre-conceptions. I wanted to go in with an open mind despite POTC being a Disney movie... Yes, I am one who is quite skeptical of the Disney machine. However, it seems I had nothing to fear. The film opens simply with it's title, no Disney fanfare beforehand, and gets right into the storytelling. What a story it is. I won't go into detail (you'll have to see the movie yourself.) Suffice to say that it left this 29 year old quite entertained and engaged throughout its' two-hour plus run. Johnny Depp was amazing. His "Keith Richards-inspired" Captain Jack was intriguing on many levels. Keira Knightly was stunning throughout the movie. I guess they had makeup and hair people on deserted islands back then... Geoffery Rush was excellent as the villianous Captain Barbossa. We've all seen too many one-dimensional "bad-guys" in movies, and it was nice to have a fully-realized character for a change. The supporting cast were all great, especially the two BritCom vets, Jack Davenport, aka Commodore Norrington ("Coupling"), and MacKenzie Crook of "The Office" fame who played a very strange pirate with a glass eye. Overall a great summertime movie that quite honestly the whole family can enjoy.

Summary: The bar has moved way up
Review: This movie is full of great scenes, great laughs, and very great acting. I agree with everyone who says Johnny deserves an Oscar, he has set the bar so high that most actors can't even see it. I am not sure that the Academy can be shaken loose from its stagnant state, but if anyone can do it, it is a character by the name of Captain Jack Sparrow. Geoffrey Rush's performance was also remarkable just for the fact that you also notice it, even when Johnny is stealing scenes. Somehow he managed to be evil and cartoonish at the same time, and there was something very "Disney" about his character. PoTC supposedly has a scene that pays homage to the movie "Groundhog Day", but after many viewings, I have not figured that one out yet. But I've enjoyed trying - it has given me more opportunties to see a greatly entertaining movie. Congratulations Disney, PoTC is already a modern classic. Confidential to the reviewer from Michigan: don't forget to check out "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape" to see more fantastic Depp work (with a bonus way-beyond-oscar-calibre performance by Leonardo DiCaprio).

Summary: But why is the rum gone?
Review: Entertaining, richly done! Brockheimer and Disney team up to make this a wonderful movie, I couldn't keep my kid out of the theatre. (7 times!). The only complaint I heard was that it was disjointed as far as plot, but that is understandable if you think that Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is your normal film hero here. Like he said, "I dishonest. And you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest...honestly" The Curse of the Black Pearl is definately the best film of 2003
