Summary: My new favorite movie
Review: This movie was the best movie I've seen in a long time and I still can't believe the critics said it was no good. The effects, the scenery, and of course the wonderful casting make "Pirates" my new favorite movie. Johnny Depp has always been one of my favorite actors because he puts everything he has in every role he plays, not to mention he's not too bad looking either. Geoffrey Rush is also an excellent actor and can play just about any character, and Orlando and Keira are well on their way.
I have seen this movie twice at the theatres and cannot wait for it to come out on DVD.

Summary: Drink Up Me Hearties, Yo Ho!
Review: I've seen this movie 22 time in the theatre so far and plan on going back again soon...enough said!!! Johnny Depp steals the show as well as a few ships & my heart...I've never seen him in ANYTHING before this, but the Captain Jack Sparrow character was so hot I had to see it AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!!! OH MY GOD, HURT ME!!!!! VERY original character due to Depp's wonderful portrayal of him, especially when you consider the fact that he actually went to the trouble of going to his dentist & having his front teeth capped in 3 different karats & colors of gold for this part! THAT'S a dedicated actor for you! Anyway, the whole movie is fantastic, the sets are amazing, the action will keep you awake for the whole 2 hours & 14 minutes, the musical score is unparalleled, and, AGAIN, the Jack Sparrow character is so fun, wonderful & different from anything I've seen before that even if I hadn't already loved pirates, I'd have wanted to become one after seeing this! If you haven't seen it, go NOW--I can't wait for the DVD to come out, but there's nothing like seeing this 40 feet high & being in the middle of a good cannonfire battle. This movie really NEEDS to be seen in a theatre the first 10-20 times...and there's a sequel coming!!! Now, bring me that horizon...

Summary: Great Fun; Exciting Actions and Fantastic Cast
Review: Our memory is still fresh about ill-fated "Tresure Planet." It seems nobody wanted to see pirate movies these days, even animations. Did someone go to see not-so-bad-but-just-ok "Cutthroat Island" back in 1995? Then, Jerry Bruckheimer thought about making one, casting Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Geoffrey Rush. The result is, surprise! very entertaining family picture. It is Johhny Depp as Jack Sparrow, quite a 'unique' pirate walking and talking like heavily drunk rock musician, who is the real power of the film. Jack and serious and sober citizen Orlando Bloom's Will Turner join force to hunt down the cursed ship Black Pearl, whose captain Barbossa kidnapped Elizabeth Swann, beautiful daughter of the admiral, with whom, of course, Will is desperately in love. The writing team of "Shrek" provides a story which is pretty unpredictable -- see how Depp enters the story -- so, many familiar rules of pirate moviers are preserved, but the use of them is often surprisingly fresh. The film is peppered with tongue-in-cheek acting of Depp and Rush, and director Gore Verbinski does his job quite well, knowing that this is originally a Disney amusement park attraction. Fighting scenes are well-crafted, but tend to look too long and drawn-out sometimes, and the film's 144 minutes are slightly overlong (Mr. Verbinski's habit, I am afraid). But the final result is quite satisfactory, good enough to erase the bad name of pirates in movie industry in Hollywood that goes back to the 1980s. And Ms. Knightley is very charming (though I prefer her in "Bend it Like Beckham"). Actors like Jonathan Price appear, but basically this is Johnny Depp's film. And most of all, this is a great entertainment only Hollywood can make (and don't miss the true ending after the end credit). They should do more films like this.

Summary: Bored out of my skull
Review: It is beyond me why this film is so successful. I went to see it because of the box office numbers and almost fell asleep. The characters are wooden and the plot thin. The film almost plays like a French farce. There's nothing but running around from scene to scene. I was so bored that during the film I got up asked an usher how it ended and left. I just couldn't take it anymore. But what was scares me the most is that when films like this are a success, the makers tend to go for the same formula. No wonder I find it hard to find a good movie.

Summary: Pirates of the Carribean
Review: First of all, this is the best movie you'll see this year. Yeah, so what if it was based on another Disneyland ride, this ones actually good! The acting, action and graphics are incredible. If your picky about graphics (and trust me, we all are to some degree)this movie is a jaw dropper. Everyone in this movie acts out thier part very well. They worked very well togeather and it adds to the whole of the movie! The action, for those of you looking for blood and gore, don't ecpect a whole lot but it is very intense. The ships fighting, sword fights and when the cursed pirates take it over. There is also a little twist at the end so watch very carefully! Overall a great movie and I would reccomend it to anyone. In fact it's so good my firend and I have seen it SEVEN times!!! I really hope you at least rent it because if you don't you'll be missing out on a gret movie!

Summary: A side-splitting, swashbuckling adventure!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is a delightful summer film filled with pirates, gold, monkeys, and the almighty eye-candy. So far it has $275 million at the box office and still remains near the top of the charts. Depp plays Captin Jack Sparrow, an alcoholic pirate who escapes from an island and meets up with Will the blacksmith, played by Orlando Bloom. When Will's love intrest Elizabeth is captured by a hoard of pirates, it's up to Will and Jack to follow the cursed ship the 'Black Pearl' and save Elizabeth from certain death. 'Pirates' is a film that has wonderful comedy and jaw dropping special FX scenes. Every one in the family will love this film although some young children may find it a wee bit intense. It's the best film of the summer and is guarenteed to be a favourite in your DVD collection.

Summary: What a fun/great movie
Review: What a super and fun movie to see. This is one that I have enjoyed as much as "Lord of the Rings" and "the Two Towers". Pirates is more fun however. Johnny Depp is just perfect in his roll and what can one say about Orlando Bloom other than "keep it up young man, you will arrive at star status at this speed". I can only encourage everyone to see it and enjoy the rousing music and great scenery. It is indeed rare to see such an exciting film that has no offensive language and no overdone sex anymore. This is really great. I have seen it twice and will purchase the DVD as soon as it hits the shelf. I already have the CD and it is super also. Have Fun with this one!
