Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean - A Not-To-Miss Movie
Review: This is the surprise movie of the summer! "Pirates" is truly a swashbuckling adventure, if ever the word "swashbuckling" applied to a movie. The cinematography is terrific; the story, while not of Pulitzer vintage, is rollicking, frolicsome, and exciting; the acting is extremely good; and the music is awesome.

Johnny Depp does an amazing job as Captain Jack Sparrow. His character provides the tragicomic relief needed throughout the movie to keep this film from taking itself too seriously. But he is also at times pithy or even philosophical. Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa is the main villain, but a likable, logical one. Keira Knightley is a charming young Elizabeth Swann who challenges some of her father's perspectives and demonstrates quite a bit of spunk. Orlando Bloom does an excellent job as young Will Turner, hopelessly in love with Elizabeth and with to-be-revealed ties with pirates. Jonathan Pryce and Jack Davenport offer excellent roles as Governor Swann and Commodore Norrington, respectively. Davenport, in particular, gives an ultimately touching rendition of the classical, stiff-upper-lip British gentleman.

I was especially impressed by the movie's music by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt. The soundtrack, available on CD, will test your sound system's bass response.

This movie is a lot of fun! You may even wish to see it several times, as my whole family has. There were initial reviews complaining about the length of the movie; but I found that, at the end, I could have watched more. There has been some concern voiced by some reviewers about the scariness of the scenes of the ghostly accursed pirates under the full moon, but these vary from person to person: my 11-year old was slightly scared, but they did not phase my 8-year old.

In an evening spent with this movie, Captain Jack will indeed get you joyfully high! (Apologies to Billy Joel.)

Summary: Best movie ever
Review: I saw this movie 11 times in theaters. It was the best movie I've ever seen! Johnny Depp is such a brilliant actor! He was absolutly fabolus as Captian Jack Sparrow. Orlando Bloom looked totally hot, and was a perfect Will Turner. Geoffry Rush was an ideal Barbossa, and even though Kiera Knightley is only 18, she did a wonderful job. I can't wait untill this movie comes out on DVD, so I can buy it and watch it everyday!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Drink up me hearties...YO HO!
Review: I've always loved pirate movies, even the bad ones, for the sense of adventure and freedom. Never have these traits been better embodied than in Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp's performance is scintillatingly brilliant! Sparrow may be rum-soaked and sun-baked, but he's ten steps ahead of everyone else. From his grandstand docking to his loving caress of his beloved Black Pearl, this movie allows you to escape in the truest sense of the word! Johnny Depp is incredible in this role and deserves the Oscar! I've seen it now 20 times and am returning this evening. Never boring..always exciting! Drink up me hearties...YO HO.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Orlando's Most Vocal New Release
Review: Orlando Bloom finally got a chance to show his talent as an actor in this film, his confidence was as obvious as it was alluring. In the Lord Of The Rings series he did not have the chance to be nearly as articulate or use his combat skills nearly as much as demonstrated in this spectacular preformance with Johnny Depp. I give it 5 stars because its one film i can honestly say didn't go over kill with the special effects and computer graphics, for once the actual story was the star insted of its enhansments. i recommand this film to anyone wanting to be sucked into a really fun adventure, especially if you like action with a sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fun and absolutly brilliant movie!!
Review: I had a grin on my face from the moment the movie started, to well after the ending. Depp is wonderful as CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, and Orlando makes the perfect side-kick. Okay, I admit it, I paid more attention to Jack, but hey. The characters are hilarious (esp. Jack) and I still find myself spurting out random movie quotes. One of the best movies I've ever seen, this coming from someone who doesn't really even like pirate movies. The movie is long, but doesn't seem so at all, I could hardly believe it was over so quickly. Well worth a look, tust me ^__^!

Summary: ONE OF DISNEY'S FINEST
Review: Well, Disney Studios finally got one right. It seems they've been trying to make movies of some of their attractions in their theme parks (Country Bears and the upcoming Haunted Mansion). I was a little wary after Country Bears wasn't all I'd thought it'd be. Was I wrong? Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is in search of a vessel to get his beloved Black Pearl back from Captain Barbosa, the man who left him to die on a deserted island years before. Helping Captain Jack in his quest is Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly. As Captain Barbosa sets out to reverse the curse that has beset him and his crew, Captain Jack is looking to re-capture his Black Pearl and the movie really takes off. The special effects are excellent and even though it's a Disney film, keep mind of the PG-13 rating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie of Summer 2003 if not the entire year!
Review: "Yo-Ho Yo-ho a pirates life for me!" Infamous words and a title song from the best summer movie. That might just be an understatement though. I haven't enjoyed a movie since.. well I can't even remember since when. I've seen "Pirates" seven times now and will probably see it again.

The amounts of different genres in here mesh so well together. There's just the right amount of action, humor, romance and of course, the coup de gras, comedy. I loved every aspect of this movie. It's lines were perfectly scripted and the sword fights perfectly choreographed.

Johnny Depp played Jack Sparrow briliantly. I don't think an actor that wasn't in a "serious" flick has won an oscar, but damn, he was so into Jack that I believed I was watching a real pirate. It was great! Give that man an oscar! :-)

Orlando played his part well too. I swooned over his love for Elizabeth (though it should have been directed at me.. sigh) Anyway he was so sweet and so perfect. He knew how to handle a sword. Oh and the kiss! Oh! If you haven't seen it, see it for that kiss. Man!

Anyway that was the best movie and I plan on getting it the moment it comes out. Go see it if you haven't! It is the BEST movie. I guarantee it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: High Seas Magic
Review: Has to be the most entertaining movie of the year bar none. I just finished seeing it for the 5th time and it's still as marvelous as it was the first time. Geoffrey Rush as the dastardly Captain Barbossa, Keira Knightley as the feisty heroine, and Orlando Bloom as the dashing young reluctant pirate are all just perfect, but Johnny Depp is just awesome! Aye, there be Oscars here.........!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME MOVIE
Review: "Pirates of the Caribbean" is my new favorite movie. It was awesome! I saw it FIVE times already... need I say more? This is not one you should miss. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Geoffrey Rush were all spectacular.
