Summary: Best Pirate Movie Ever
Review: This movie is a comedy/adventure/action/romance all rolled into one. Johnny Depp is so hilarious and lets just say the makeup artist did a great job on that eyeliner!! Orlando Bloom did excellent also with the sword fighting and romance parts. Keira Knightley was so lucky to be able to work on this movie with them, and she did excellent also playing the helpless maiden at first and then beginning to do the action scenes. The movie had me giggling all the way through. Captain Barbosa was my favorite kind of villian the scary yet funny type. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) was the funniest character I've seen in any movie! Will Turner (Bloom) was trying to rescue his love Elizabeth Swann (Knightley) and the plot was just the greatest!

Summary: Shiver me timbers! It's a whale of a tale!
Review: A movie based on a theme park ride??? That's the same question I had (complete with triple question marks) when I heard about "Pirates of the Caribbean," but the movie turned out to be far more exciting, charming and fun than any mere carnival attraction could ever hope to be. The story, though of course 100-percent pulp, is involving, and--this being a Disney picture--the special effects are absolutely state-of-the-art. (Without giving away too much of the plot, this movie gives new meaning to the phrase, "skeleton crew.") Yet as much fun as "Pirates of the Caribbean" is, it would be just another above-average popcorn flick if it weren't for the performance of Johnny Depp as the brazenly witty pirate Jack Sparrow. As played by Depp, Sparrow is made up of equal parts Errol Flynn, David Bowie and Inspector Clouseau; during the course of the movie, other characters call him both "the worst pirate I've ever seen" and "the best pirate I've ever seen," and both opinions are eminently defensible. Depp's performance is robust, hilarious, yet delicately nuanced; he gives "Pirates of the Caribbean" something you never in a million years would imagine it would have: emotional resonance. Everyone is saying that Depp couldn't possibly score an Oscar nomination for "Pirates of the Caribbean," because his is a comic performance in a summer movie. If enough people say it, maybe the Academy will get the message, and nominate him. Beyond Depp's glorious performance, Geoffrey Rush makes a joyous feast of the scenery as Jack Sparrow's archenemy, the black-hearted Captain Barbosa. None of the other actors make a fraction of the impression Depp and Rush do, though Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are appealingly plucky as the young lovers, and it's always nice to see such underrated British thespians as Jonathan Pryce, Jack Davenport and Kevin McNally. Fast-moving despite its 135-minute length and polished to the sheen of a gold doubloon, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a treasure chest of summer movie fun.

Summary: What a Fun Movie!
Review: My family and I spent a Saturday afternoon thoroughly entertained by Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp does a great job as "CAPTAIN" Jack Sparrow. The movie was surprisingly funny in all the right spots. It was not contrived or over done in any way! This movie had everything you could possibly want in a great escapist movie! Plenty of Swash Buckling Heroes, Snobby Imperialistic Britts and Vile Villains will keep you rooting for the anti hero. Yes, there was the obligatory love sub plot -- but hey it makes the movie worth while for the fairer sex. (No disrespect intended -- they didn?t have those annoying PC classes when I went to College)We look forward to purchasing this movie when it comes out ? a definite stay at home on a rainy Friday night video! -- K.K.

Summary: An excellent movie
Review: It is one of the greatest movies of this summer. I truly liked the special effects and the customes. It really made everything look like it was a long time ago. It was really funny and hysterical because of all the sarcasm all the pirates said. I strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to go see a movie and have a good time.

Summary: Perfect!
Review: Disney has really pulled it off this time! I have seen this movie 7 time and each time I have truley enjoyed it. I was expecting a movie that was mostly about Orlando Bloom's charcter, but Johnny Depp's "Captain Jack Sparrow" really stole the show!(Though all of the actors did an amazing job.) There is nothing in theaters right now that could top "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

Summary: "Better than Heaven itself"
Review: OMG! This movie was the best movie since I've seen the first Matrix. It was awesome. So far I've seen it 4 times in the theatre, and I would've seen it more, but I've basically never been home. Right now I'm listening to the soundtrack for the movie, and if you are a huge Pirates fan, than I suggest you run out and get it right now! Its awesome. Johnny Depp, is better in this movie than he was in "Chocolat" which is very hard to beat. Orlando Bloom was pretty good, but I prefer him as "Legolas" in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy". Well, I think I've said enough.

Summary: they wasted johnny depp
Review: johnny depp is a great actor,intimidatingly sexy(yup, even with all that hideaous pirate gear on), and his performance was "smashing"< full of dry wit,well in short, he really know his stuff, and will only continue to grow.Unfortunately this movie switches back and forth between traditional action epic,sc-fi thriller, and when it gets tired of both, settles for dumb no imagination comedy.The film started out at a fast-pace, and instead of contuining on with it, it got too smart for it's own good, and brought in all the skeletons, and wierd sci-fi junk.IT seemed to drag on and on, and I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't, and in the end I walked out with some girlfriends pretending to like it, but really bored to tears, and confused like hell.the girl playing the damsel in distress doesn't get to explore within her role, although she is a beautiful girl.ORlando Bloom isn't really worthy of much mention, he's just there.IN short this movie will definately appeal to masses who just agree with everyone saying that it's "cool", but doesn't do it for me.It's not entertaining enough to be a no-brainer fast paced fun flick, but it's not smart enough to be a full-fledged epic.Instead it's straddled helplessly in between both, with a bunch of high-tech special effects thrown in and plenty of gloss on top.Johnny Depp is good tho',so he seems out of place with the rest of the film.

Summary: Best movie of 2003
Review: Saw it 4 times already and still want to see it again. After the very first time, I was impressed that a Disney film treated its audience to an intelligent story. I think this is the first Johnny Depp film I saw, and I loved his performance. Go see it and stay until the absolute end of the credits for a little bit more. I can't wait for the DVD.
