Summary: Colourful! Exotic! Jocular! Adventurous! Grandiose!
Review: Johnny Depp is stunningly outlandish as the swaggering, happy-go-lucky Captain Jack Sparrow. From the ornamental decorations of his dread-locked hair, right down to his dancing footsteps, Depp offers his fans a tremendous performance in this children's film of majestic proportions. The screen is filled with splashes of colors: the deep serpentine blues of the ocean, the lead grays & ebony blacks of the pirate costumes, and the noble red & gold cloaks of the Governors' soldiers. The pirates are delectably crass, and all the characters are imbued with a jocular wit that will keep the audience laughing throughout.
Children and adults alike will be enthralled by the swash-buckling sword scene between Sparrow & Will (played by the dashing Orlando Bloom), with the swords clicking to the rhythm of Klaus Badelt's magnetic, glitteringly pulsating soundtrack.Alongside the incontestably illuminous Johnny Depp, who is magnificent in his interpretation of a whimsical, woe-be-gone pirate, are Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swan (who's delicate doe-like features belie her tough tenacity), Orlando Bloom as Wil Turner (who's refined, princely features complement Depp's sultry, dark, handsome, gypsy features), Jack Davenport as Elzabeth's noble fiance, and Jonathan Pryce as Elizabeth's father, the weak-kneed governor. Rounding out the cast is Geoffrey Rush as the mutinous pirate Barbossa. Rush is fervent, booming, extravagantly malicious, and even humanly poignant in his portrayal of a misguided man, (made immortal) who pines redemption. The special effects are dazzling, the music is sparklingly refreshing, and the acting - especially that of Johnny Depp -are memorable. This film is a must-see for anyone who wants to watch a wholesome movie filled with action & romance.

Summary: A review from a movie freak... and it's great!!!
Review: I've seen like, a 1000 pirate movies, but not one of them entertained me like this one. I think Johnny Depp did a great performance and everything he says or does in the movie is really humorous. Of course with all the technology of the modern time, people find it nothing special when they flick from being a half rotten zombie to a human being and back to a zombie again, or the various sea scenes. But I think it was really nicely done and I would recomment "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" to anyone who like comedy and adventure. If you have never liked pirate movies, you should see this one for sure.

Summary: Plain and simple fun. And Johnny Depp's show.
Review: This action adventure film is clever, funny, very entertaining. But all in all it is Johnny Depp's show. He seemed to have stolen -as some other reviewer accurately said- some of the mannerisms of the character he portrayed in Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, but it works. And the non-stopping hilarious lines he says all through the entire movie. He surely had a lot of fun playing this guy. I think the director simply said to him: do whatever you like.
And the entrance at the beginning, simply brilliant!
If you want to have fun, go see this movie, it wont dissapoint

Summary: Have got to see this
Review: I loved this movie and can't wait for the DVD to come out so i can buy it!!!
Johnny Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow was one of the best and although not as scene stealing, Orlando Bloom's Will Turner was nothing to yawn at. Will Turner was the perfect character to play counter to Jack Sparrow.
This had it all, plot, romance, comedy, everything and the best part was that everyone who recomemded this movie and all the comercials never gave anything away.

Summary: Incredible Movie
Review: If you are a fan of Johnny Depp, you will love his eccentric, Keith Richards style of portraying Capt. Jack Sparrow. Enjoy this one!

Summary: Completely unique despite its honages to the genre.
Review: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is that rare gem in a genre film - a new concept that pays homage to the classics in the genre without depending on them for success. Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio have written often for this genre (including TREASURE PLANET and THE MASK OF ZORRO), and prove here that writing really can elevate a genre piece to greatness. The story is tight, the dialogue devoid of exposition (so you'd best be paying attention - bathroom breaks will ruin the movie for you!) unless it's in character for the character to make a speech, and the plot twists and turns so often it's actually better on repeat viewings. This is one of the strangest and most intriguing qualities of the film: just like the theme park ride on which it is loosely based, it makes you want to get back in line and go around again. Much has been said of Johnny Depp's brilliant creation, Captain Jack Sparrow. He takes lines that could have easily been delivered with Errol Flynn-like panache and instead crafts a performance in which we, like his counterparts in the film, are constantly wondering if he's mad or genius. No doubt, he carries the movie. More often overlooked is the equally brilliant performance of Geoffrey Rush as the evil Captain Barbossa. He alone is equal to Depp when they share the screen, and when they don't, no one else holds a candle to him. He obviously relishes the role of the villain, and holds back nothing to deliver a chilling, amusing and captivating performance. Look for him in the Supporting Actor nominations this year. With an enormous cast of well-developed supporting characters, all of whom contribute necessary developments to the plot, this has the feel of an old Hollywood film where the ensemble mattered as much as the marquee stars. What elevates it is the seamless application of CGI to create effects that never seem gratuitous and are a true joy to watch. Bruckheimer's pairing with Gore Verbinski gives us the Bruckheimer action film punch with Verbinski's purist directing sensibilities, and has raised my opinion of Bruckheimer's potential considerably. Despite its PG-13 rating, I found it appropriate for nearly all ages, since the horror aspect of the cursed pirates is always mitigated by humor and a sense that all will be right in the end. I never expected to find a good movie hidden inside the summer blockbuster season, but here it is - and this notoriously harsh film critic encourages you all to sit back, enjoy the ride, and brave the line a second time.

Summary: One of the Best summer movie of the year!
Review: Omg! After I saw this movie at the Theatre I couldn't stop thinking about this movie! IF not watching Orlando Bloom's cute face for two hour dosen't tempt you maybe this review will. Pirate Jack Sparrow (Jhonny Depp) is so funny he'll crack you up with his drunken behavior and funny comments. Will Turner you lead romantic hero is so cute and a really good actor and some scenes where he is funny also. Elisabeth is made to touch will turner lips which is so romantic. There is Action to while fighting the black pearl crew and adventure finding elizabeth and coming back home alive. You'll love this movie soo much that you'll be already thinking to buy this Movie when it hits store. Trust me- the purchase is worth it.

Summary: Not a family movie like most people think.
Review: Pirates is one of the greatest movies ever made! But, most people who see it say it is for all ages and stuff. But, it is not!! The violence is way to menacing, the skelatons way to scary, there is to much blood, throat slittings, there is a scene when Barbossa is shot and they do a closeup of the wound while blood pours out, Barbossa also takes a knife while a closeup of Keira's hand is in view and cuits her hand open, and it is to confusing for children. Take my word for it, take your teens and yourself, but leave out the kiddies. Great movie though all in all. Rated PG-13 for Action/Adventure Violence.

Summary: Remember Depp at Oscar time!!!
Review: I loved this movie and as everyone else has said, even the one or two who don't get it - Depp steals the show. When will he get an Oscar???? Orlando is a hottie but I prefer Johnny in anything he does. I want to see more of both of them. Rush was great, the story was great, CGI great since it wasn't the entire show, and, did I mention how great Depp was? I never cared for the Oscars and quit watching them years ago since they are so biased, but I'll watch 'em if they at least nominate the guy. Jeez, he does so much good stuff. Keep up the good work, Johnny. There's a bunch of us out here who know who keeps us in the theaters. I'm going to see it again if I can convince my hubby it is for the movie and not to see both Depp & Orlando.
