Summary: One of the best movies this year!
Review: I saw this movie and was blown away! The plot was great and the cast was even better. I loved it so much that the moment I left the theatre the only thing I wanted to do was to see it again, which I did. Johnny Depp was truly amazing! He portrayed Jack Sparrow,(excuse me) Captain Jack Sparrow as the the somewhat drunk yet hilariouse pirate, stealing every scened he was in. Orlando Bloom did a great job as well portraying Will Turner the blacksmith and swordsman. This movie is for anyone who just wants to just sit back and have a goodtime. It may be scary to younger children because of the cursed skeletal pirates but don't let the PG-13 scare you into not seeing the movie because you would be missing a truly fabulous film! The DVD is going to be amazing!

Summary: Sea it once...Sea it again.
Review: One of the rare movies that comes along once in a while that you enjoy so much you want to go back and see it. There was nothing wrong with the whole film. The graphics were great, the fight scenes were breathtaking, and the music was enjoyable. Pirates of the Caribbean is acted out by so many wonderful actors and actresses, Johnny Depp, Geoffery Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley...even those that acted as the pirates were so wonderful that you felt as if they were not acting, but actually real. I have often been asked if it is a scary film, a film that youngsters should skip for awhile. I personally know a young boy in the elementary ages (4th-5th grade) that saw the movie, and begged his parents to go see it again. There are scary moments, but there is also a lot of comedy wrapped into each scene that makes light of a grim situation. Johnny Depp performed wonderfully as the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, who gave us the most laughs. You can tell from the first moments of the movie that he was really into his part. Orlando Bloom played Will (iam) Turner, a heroic blacksmith that deserves a better position than blacksmith, and who is in love with Elisabeth Swan (played by Keira Knightley) so much that when she is captured, he decides to rescue her...but this rescue operation turns into a whole different adventure than he planned. Keira Knightley is the tough and lovely Elisabeth Swan, who "doesn't believe in ghost stories" but finds herself in one when she is taken aboard the Black Pearl, lead by the captain Barbossa (Geoffery Rush). To keep this already lengthy review shorter than it would be, Pirates of the Caribbean is a rare movie that catches the viewer's eyes and makes them forget the popcorn and gummy bears sitting on their lap. It is full of twists and turns and laughs and action...the plot is one of the best I have ever seen. Once you see it, you will want to sea it again.

Summary: Wow! does not even begin to express it!
Review: I rarely pay movie prices to see a film at the theater, but I did go see this one! It's Fantastic! I was reading some of the other reviews and I have to say that I was surprise at one saying it was too long. I saw it three days ago. I'm not a clock-watcher, but I was amazed to read that it was a 2 1/2 hour movie! I had no idea I was in there for that long - it totaly took me out of time for the duration. Johnny Depp is fantastic. I've always liked him, but this was extra fabulous. Orlando even has us 40 year olds drooling - good looking and a great performance to boot. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I will definitely buy it on DVD. I don't think I will take the kids (8 and 11) to see it at the theater because even though overall it's not a horror film, there are some scenes that in the dark of the theater, on the big screen and with the loud surround sound going on would probably terrify them, but they will LOVE it on DVD, I'm sure.

Summary: Tied with Raiders of the Lost Ark as My Favorite Movie
Review: I have seen this movie 4 times since it has been released and I will probably see it several more times. This movie has had sold out showings and 50+ people at late showing times on weekdays this past week. Not bad considering the movie has been out for several weeks! The first time I saw this movie, it did seem a bit long. The 2nd-4th times were much more enjoyable. I catch something new everytime I see it. The setting, writing, acting, special effects, and costumes are incredible! The ships are beautiful. The love story of Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl brings a tear at the end.

Summary: Pirates of Caribbean is the best movie of the year
Review: This movie was great from start to finish. The story line start from the minute the movie started and never let up till the end. It had action, comedy and adventure. My family and I went to see and all 5 of us liked it. We even toyed with idea of staying and seeing the next showing. We have never liked a movie enough to do that. Go see it. It's worth the money and the time.

Summary: Finally, A Swashbuckingly Great Summer Movie!!
Review: No, the best summer movie wasn't about a huge green monster, 3-D kids that spy, or a few angels. It was about a haunted ship called the Black Pearl and some swashbuckling pirates. When I went to see Pirates of the Carribean, based on one of my favorite Disney rides, I wasn't expecting much. But I've never seen a pirate movie as spectacular as PIRATES since Steven Spielberg's HOOK.This movie shines because of its realsitic special effects, extraordinary characters, and a surprisingly great plot for a pirate movie. The film combines action-adventure to please the teens and adults and hillarious comedy to keep the kids repeating the jokes for many days. Geoffery Rush excells as the cursed Captain Barbossa of the Black Pearl, Orlando Bloom soars as a blacksmith who falls for Keira Knightley(the governor's daughter)who is captured by the ghostly pirates of the Black Pearl. But the actor who steals the film is Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow, the drunk, hillarious, and lovable pirate who was abandoned by his crew of the Black Pearl on a deserted island. Go see this film even if you aren't interested and I promise you will be pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to see The Haunted Mansion(another movie based on a classic Disney ride) starring Eddie Murphy and see if it turns out as great as Pirates. In concluson. if you haven't seen it already, go see The Pirates of Carribean and have a great night out at the movies!!!

Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean
Review: I loved this movie! Keira Knightley plays the main female character, Elizabeth, who is kidnapped by the undead crew of the Black Pearl, and she takes part in several fight scenes, and matches wits with undead pirates. Johnny Depp plays the main 'good' pirate - Captain Jack Sparrow - and he is very funny. Orlando Bloom is also good in his role as a blacksmith who joins forces with pirates to rescue Elizabeth. I think this movie did better than many others in that the swordfighting seems real. It was excellent!!!

Summary: So much criticism for such a great movie
Review: It thoroughly surprises that so many critics disliked this movie. Rolling Stone gave it only 2 stars, Roger Ebert said that it outstayed it welcome and had pointless fight scenes. After seeing all these bad reviews I had to wonder, did they watch the same movie that I did?
Pirates of the Caribbean was a great movie. It had everything an engaging, fun, summer movie should have. It had action, suspense, humor, drama, a little bit of romance (not so much that it would make you sick) and even a bit of horror and mystery. I have to agree that it was a long film, but it was engaging from beginning to end. I never felt bored at any point.
The main reason why this film was so wonderful was because Gore Verbinski combined a great story with great actors, thus displaying some great acting. Mr. Rush portraying the character of Captain Barbosa displays the polished skills of a prominent, talented actor. He embodied the character completely and his performance draws you into the setting making you feel as if you are a part of the story. Johnny Depp is absolutely hilarious and gives us some of the more memorable scenes of the movie. I believe this might be his best performance yet. Both Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly are good in their roles as well. But don't take my word for it, go out and see it for yourselves. Don't listen to the critics because in reality, it is just one person's opinion. You all have a mind of your own, don't rely on someone else's. See it just for all the scenes that are related to the ride or see it for the pirate dialogue that is spoken flawlessly from Depp and Rush, to some of the minor supporting characters.
So what is all the criticism about, I still really haven't figured that out. One reviewer in Rolling Stone online said that everyone should go out to a bar and get drunk instead of seeing this movie because it would achieve the same effect. To this comment I have to reply, "I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means no." Savvy?
