Summary: GAYBLADE OF THE CARIBBEAN
Review: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ANY SEASON! BUT, THE NAME OF THE MOVIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GAYBLADE OF THE CARIBBEAN. CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW(JOHNNY DEPP) FLITS AROUND LIKE A LOONY BIRD IN THIS SEAFARING ESCAPIST'S MOVIE. HE IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING PIRATES TO EVER SAIL ACROSS THE BIG SCREEN. DEPP IS SO ENJOYABLE, HE DESERVES AN OSCAR NOMINATION FOR HIS PERFORMANCE. HE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT OF A REAL PIRATE. THOUGH HE IS CLEANED UP, COMPLETE WITH PERFECTLY WHITE TEETH! DEPP IS TRYING TO REGAIN COMMAND OF HIS OLD PIRATE SHIP CALLED THE BLACK PEARL. RIGHT NOW, CAPTAIN BARBOSSA(GEOFFREY RUSH) IS IN CHARGE OF THE SHIP AND ITS CREW. ALL OF WHOM TURN INTO SKELETON'S BY NIGHT. THE SHIP IS CURSED, BUT THE MOVIE IS A BLESSING FOR MOVIE FANS. THE SCENES MOVE AT A FAST PACE AND THERE IS EVEN A LOVE STORY WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF THIS SWASHBUCKLING TAPESTRY. (KEIRA KNIGHTLY) IS A RAVING BEAUTY WHO PLAYS THE GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER IN THE MOVIE. HER LOVE INTEREST IS (ORLANDO BLOOM) A BLACKSMITH WHO JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE PIRATE BLOOD RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS. A FACT THAT EXCITES AND INVITES (KNIGHTLY) TO SEIZE THE MOMENT! DISNEY MAY HAVE PUT OUT THIS MOVIE, BUT IT'S NOT A CORNBALL TINKERBELL OF OLD ADVENTURE. ARNOLD, SLY AND HARRISON FANS WILL LOVE THIS FINE EXAMPLE OF MODERN MOVIEMAKING.

Summary: The Most Fantastic Movie of the Year
Review: As all people, I'm a critic, and it takes a lot to impress me. And let me tell you I was impressed. The movie was wonderful - the special effects were at the height of the entertainment, right along with Johnny Depp's terrific acting abilities. This is by far the best movie of the year and I encourage everyone - men, women and children of all ages - to go see this movie. Whether you're a fan of action, horror, or comedy, even romance, this movie will impress you and leave you twitching for more. Or just to go back and see it all over again.

Summary: A Swashbuckling Delight!
Review: Now, I'll admit I loved PIRATES, but it is not
without faults, the greatest being, IT'S TOO LONG! Will SOMEBODY tell Jerry
Bruckheimer that a feature film doesn't HAVE to be over two hours and
fifteen minutes long? A half hour trimmed would have tightened the plot,
kept the audience jumping at the climaxes (and not for the bathroom), and
increased the revenue, as another showtime could be squeezed in each day.That being said, there is a lot to like about the film. A truly good pirate movie MUST obey certain guidelines: a swashbuckling hero, an equally strong
damsel, a truly dastardly villain, a great climactic duel, a romance, at
least one major sea battle and city plundering scene, LOTS of pirate lore,
and respect for the time frame of the film (NO lapses into 20th or 21st
century jargon or technology, for the sake of plot or humor). Hollywood's
last major pirate effort, CUTTHROAT ISLAND, had Gena Davis as a distaff
hero, which was acceptable (Maureen O'Hara had played a swashbuckler in
several 40s-50s films), and Frank Langella as the villain, which was
inspired casting...but Matthew Modine was so wimpish a leading man that the
romance between him and Davis looked ridiculous, and Davis evolved into a
near caricature, to fill the void...and the film descended into present-day
campiness, which was the kiss of death. Director Gore Verbinski, and writers Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Stuart
Beattie, and Jay Wolpert clearly did their homework for PIRATES, and
admirably filled each pirate movie requirement. Two heroes swash their way
through the film; Johnny Depp is the picturebook pirate, complete with
outrageous attire, a braided beard, eye makeup, a drunken swagger, and the
best damn' Keith Richards impersonation I've ever seen; Orlando Bloom is the
heroic, Errol Flynn-like buccaneer, out to rescue his damsel, and full of
lofty ideals. Eighteen-year-old Keira Knightley is the heroine, and while
her acting skills are average, at best, she shows a lot of spunk (and
cleavage), and positively glows, onscreen. The villain is another inspired
piece of casting; Geoffrey Rush, while not as menacing as Frank Langella,
has a ball as the snarling yet world-weary Pirate leader. As for the pirate
crews (there are two), they are perfect; you have guys with hooks and peg
legs, barbarians straight out of MOBY DICK, even a parrot and a monkey as
sidekicks, all hankering for rum, riches, and victims to 'walk the plank'.
That one crew is all cursed, and reveal themselves to be skeletal,
decomposing corpses under the full moon only increases their nasty
perfection! The film borrows heavily from THE CRIMSON PIRATE, TREASURE ISLAND,
SWASHBUCKLER, Universal Pictures' 40s B-movie pirate flicks, and even a few
Hammer horror features of the early 60s, but it all fits together fairly
seamlessly. Still, the excessive length would be a fatal flaw, were it not
for Johnny Depp's physical and verbal presense. He is the glue that holds
everything together, and he is VERY much up to the task! Whenever the film
starts to drag, Depp has some bit of 'business' that is hilarious, and keeps
things rolling. I won't delve into the plot (cursed gold, kidnappings, a gallows
scene...pretty standard pirate stuff), but I will say that you could do a
LOT worse than PIRATES in this season of overblown sequels and underwhelming
originals. Go to the bathroom before you go to the theater, and ENJOY!

Summary: Most entertaining film of all time!
Review: Pirates of the caribbean has got to be the best movie i have ever seen. If you have not seen it yet i definetly highly recommend it. If you think the commercials are dumb, which they aren't, don't pay any attention to them! I wanted to see this movie ever since i found out Disney was making it and i never expected it to be this good. The movie is very well cast. Keira Knightly was absolutely stunning and perfect for the role of Miss. Swan, i truly wish i was her in that movie...loved by a handsome Orlando Bloom, and stuck on an island with the most gorgeous man alive ( Johnny Depp). Johnny Depp was absolutley made for this part. He did incredible research in his character and made Capt. Jack Sparrow the whole movie, his inspiration for the role of Capt.Jack Sparrow was keith richards and pepe le pew( skunk from looney tunes). Johnny Depp is the best actor i have ever seen, his unpredictableness was so sexy and his humor was off the wall hilarious, and his charm ooohhhh dont even get me started..im so in love with johnny depp. Orlando Bloom was terrific as well, his acting really made u hate the bad guyz and made the girls wishing that there was someone as caring as him out there for us. Capt. boubousa couldnt have been better!!! Perfect cast, Perfect Plot, Perfect Movie! Disney you have outdone yourself!! the only bad thing about this movie would be if there wasnt going to be a second one!

Summary: pirates of the caribbean review!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean has to be the most thrilling movie I've ever seen. After seeing it in theaters a number of times, it's become my all-time favorite! I can't wait til it comes out to buy. If you haven't seen it yet, please do. You won't regret it!

Summary: Depp is best of his geneation
Review: There has not been a character since the Scarecrow (W of O) that was as well played, endearing and thoroughly makes this movie the best one I've seen in years! People go to see it saying "I won't like it because the hype from my friends is too intense" and they come out equally as intense. The scenes; music; script; acting; pace; sound; editing; directing; sfx; ...sheer perfection. I signed on to buy the DVD (get on the list) Go see it! You will not be disappointed. This is a Classic. I only hope that the movie makers out there will realize it's the STORY/ACTING/QUALITY of this film that makes it special...not because it was about Pirates...but they won't ....we will now have 20 Pirate movies...they just don't get it. If they'd spend more time on quality and story, acting by real actors (not the flavor of the month) and excellent Directing and editing...they'd all make a fortune. Good is good. This is Great!
