Summary: Fantastic Movie!!!!!
Review: I saw this movie at midnight the morning it came out, I had been so excited and so hyped up to see it I was literally bouncing in my chair. At exactly 12:01 the lights went down and the previews started. By 2:45, I was stunned into my seat. This movie blew me away, I love every aspect of it. The fact that it takes things from the ride, the plot, the actors, the music, and the special effects. The whole movie was a complete ride, but one thing stood out the most; Johnny Depp's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow. This man is nothing short of brillant in his roles. He's funny, captivating, and ... yeah ok I'll admit, very good looking, but that wasn't the only reason I enjoyed it. Working at a movie theater, I get to see the reaction of every one that walks out of the screening, and I have yet to find a person that doesnt like this movie. I love it, and I can't wait to own it as soon as it comes out. I strongly reccomend this movie to absolutely everyone! And I have to say one more time, 'Bravo, Mr. Depp!'

Summary: A wonderful, THRILLING movie
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean has it all: action, adventure, comedy and romance. This movie is absoulutely wonderful. The acting is great. No one else could have played Jack Sparrow like Johnny Depp. His performance is magnificent and really stands out. Orlando Bloom does a fantastic job playing Will Turner. Not only is he a talented actor, but he is EXTREMELY handsome. Geoffrey Rush does an excellent job at playing Captain Barbarossa. And Keira Knightley is very convincing a Elizabeth Swann. The fighting scenes are well done and the special effects are amazing. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and think everyone eelse who sees it will.

Summary: Worth seeing
Review: Went on the premiere day, and have been anxiously waiting to see this. It was everything I wanted and more. Johnny Depp had played a great role. He made laughs, and pleased everyone. Orlando Bloom is the reason I wanted to see POTC.. I couldn't wait to see him outside of his blonde wig. Johnny and Orlando were so good together!! I would recommend this to anyone who likes action, laughs, and attractive people! Definitely worth seeing - it will not let you down.

Summary: awesome!
Review: i just saw the movie and it rocked. so far the summer has been about "hey my cgi is better than yours" and "my bombs are bigger" ... but this movie makes the summer worth while. it never falls into that uh oh i smell a retarded wired up fight scene comming trap. this movie is super fun, just enough of this but not to much of that. great story, great cast, never dull excitement. fyi ... my other favorites are movies like fight club, aliens, T1, T2 and so on. I am not one of those "give me a 25 minute chase scene and explosions over a good story" type guys. hope this helps,
:)

Action, Adventure, Angst, Mystery, Romance, Horror, Comedy, and so much more! Johnny Depp was hilarious! I loved the way he walked and talked! And, Orlando Bloom was brillant at his fighting skills!

Summary: Commandeer--It's a nautical term
Review: Ahoy there, me hearties! I've got to say, this movie is (so far) the best movie of the year (we'll see how ROTK fares--hopefully well!). Johnny Depp gave a stellar performance as, who else, Captain Jack Sparrow (what a cool name). I don't know exactly what it is about him, but his overall demeanor throughout the movie put me in a rather good mood, and had me laughing to the end. Anyone who hasn't seen it (what are you waiting for?) needs to go. NOW! Oh, and *waste* your time by watching 'till the end of the credits. You'll thank me. :)

Summary: Saw opening night! Lots of fun!
Review: This movie was so much fun! It had a great balance of comedy, action and romance-much like an Indiana Jones movie, but with more of everything. And you couldn't ask for three more beautiful people to play the leading roles (Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly) and the stuntwork and effects were fantastic. The whole crew went through a lot to make this movie. They actually built the ships and filmed many scenes miles from shore in the Caribbean. The story is interesting enough to attract adults, but lighthearted enough for younger viewers. I would not recommend this movie for kids under 8 or 9, though, especially if they are prone to nightmares. There were some scenes that would be too frightening or disturbing for some children. However, although it is rated PG-13, the violence is not too intense (it is a Disney movie, after all) and much of the violence is implied or takes place just off-screen. Based on an interpretation of the ride, the story is action-filled and charming at the same time. Anyone who enjoyed the ride at Disneyland will enjoy this movie and will recognize some of the subtle humor in tribute to it. The movie does seem to leave the ending open for a sequel (I can't wait already!) but not in a way that leaves you hanging or disappointed. All in all, this movie will spark up your childhood fantasies and is a lot of great fun for (most of) the family. A definite must-see in the theatre!

Summary: Yo-ho, yo-ho, please trim this film some more...
Review: Prancin' pirates and a plot that doesn't know where it's going. There's a lot going on...too much going on. That said, here's the long and the short of it: The movie begins with a flashback of sorts. A young girl on her father's navy ship finds a broken-up boat in the middle of the ocean along with a boy, floating on top of a piece of the boat's hull. The boy is wearing a medallion and the girl takes it from him after his rescue. The girl's father suspects pirates...not just any pirates...the ones who make their home aboard the Black Pearl. Cut to about ten years or so later. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is a pirate who has come into port of a Caribbean-shore town in search of a ship that will take him back to his old ship, the Black Pearl. In this town, the girl (played by the beautiful Keira Knightly) wears the medallion around her neck after dreaming of the day she found the boy, (now played by Orlando Bloom). He's the town's expert blacksmith now and he dreams of one day marrying Elizabeth. Sparrow attempts to make off with a navy-ship to find his old one and Elizabeth ends up fainting and falling into the ocean after attempting to wear a bodice given to her by her father as a gift. This is one of the biggest pushes in the entire film. While in the drink, the medallion around her neck sends a shockwave throughout the sea, "calling" to the crew aboard the Black Pearl. Sparrow is identified as a pirate and is arrested, even after rescuing Elizabeth from drowning. His first escape-attempt leads him to William, the blacksmith boy, who engages in sword-to-sword combat in attempt to keep Sparrow in one place until the troops arrive. Sparrow ends up in jail...of course, it isn't long before the Black Pearl ends up attacking the town, rapin', pillagin', and plunderin'. They grab Elizabeth because they need the medallion...and that's where I stop. Everyone in this film is fun to watch, has their own personality (including the pirates) and you'll have jolly good fun taking in the atmosphere, the mood, and the piratin'...the only problem with it is most of it seems to be padded out. Scenes that should climax with a battle or a fight end up in long-winded discussions on pirate-policies and rules and regs. This is what brings on the doldrums and unneccessary scenes of conversation. It goes on too long. You have a dinner-scene with the captain, a fight with a dismembered forearm, Sparrow and Elizabeth stranded, Sparrow facing death at the end, and his subsequent rescue, all which could have been tightened up or otherwise forgotten. We STILL have no idea HOW Sparrow got off the island to find his old ship in the first place! The story also forks off a little more than it needs to and you can't really root for Sparrow because him and William don't get along and Sparrow constantly turns his back on William and his friends. And so the movie sails on and on much longer than it needs to sail. Not that it's no fun to watch. It most certainly is that, but it's just not solid. Director Gore Verbinski (THE RING, THE MEXICAN) MUST have received final cut in his contract when he signed on because there is NO cutting at all. I must have counted at least six to eight scenes that should have hit the cutting room floor. But they're all here. Verbinski just doesn't seem to grasp the concept of the DVD. As for the acting, Depp looks and acts great as a pirate who has gone a little nutty but still knows how to wheel and deal to get his way. Think of him as Han Solo's great-great-grand-ancestor and you've got the idea. Geoffrey Rush is wonderful as the Captain of the Black Pearl and really makes a great villian. Orlando Bloom, the invincible elf in the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy plays a handsome hero/sometimes-sidekick to Jack Sparrow and he's fine. The best part of this film is the atmosphere and the visuals. You feel like you're with the pirates, you can feel the sea, smell it, you can inhale the mustiness of the jail cells...and if you keep a sharp eye, catch some of the nods to original ride at Disneyland and Disney World. All-in-all, it's a trip worth taking.
