Summary: Performances are over the top!!!!!!
Review: I have seen this movie twice and found it even funnier the second time around. I am sure that had to do with the fact that the first time, I didn't realize Jack Sparrow's character was based loosely on Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones. Johnny Depp does an amazing job. I think because of his good looks, no one gives him the credit he deserves as an actor. He's so smooth in this. He didn't even have to speak to make the film funny. He was Jack Sparrow. Should he get the oscar? It's hard to say because I haven't seen the other movies to compare. He should definetely get acknowledged in some way because his take on Jack Sparrow and his acting, were phenonmenal. On another note, the filming was incredible. It was such a beautiful mood piece. It took you back to another time and place. Coming from Disney, I was impressed. Very enjoyable.

Summary: Pirates is amazing!
Review: An amazing film, Pirates is both amusing and full of swashbuckling adventure. Though it is certainly no "Master and Commander," it is an enjoyable romp through the Caribbean, and has some spectacular special effects to boot.

Summary: Good pirate fun
Review: Like many, I have taken the Disney Pirates ride many times and the movie holds true to its tale. Borrowing some of its verve, not to mention stealing some elements outright, from another great pirate movie The Crimson Pirate with Burt Lancaster, this is a fun, well made film. The acting is much above normal with an largerly British cast. Johnny Depp's Captian Jack Sparrow is off-beat, quirky, and a bit over the top, but an interesting turn for a surprisingly good actor. Handsome Orlando Bloom plays the upright Will Turner who slowly takes to Jack and his flexible moral code with believable charm. Geffory Rush is a fine villan as Pirate Captain Barbossa and Jonathan Pryce does a nice turn as the foppish Governor Swann of Port Royal, father of Elizabeth, the love interest and female lead. The Special effects have equal billing, but don't overwhelm the actors as is so often the case. The script is light, but interesting enough for adults and violence kept at typical Disney levels. Better than most films of the genre and with lots of very funny throw away lines. Get your popcorn and have a good oldfashioned saturday afternoon movie.

Summary: Best Movie I've Seen in Years!
Review: Okay, it was expensive to see Pirates of the Caribbean THREE TIMES, but it was worth it. Not too scary, if you have little ones to think of, but thrilling for even the most experienced of viewers. Trust me. No matter how old, or young, you are, you will LOVE this movie!

Summary: Excellent Film...
Review: Johnny Depp has always been one of my favorite actors. He has a sort of mysterious look to him, not to mention his incredible acting abilities. Also a long time fan of Tim Burton, who is an inventor in his own right, I always liked Depp's acting style, and can see why Mr. Burton chose him to star in many of his films. Though his film's seem to get fewer and farther between these days, Depp is still lighting up the silver-screen. His most recent film, of course, is Pirates of the Caribbean.The film mainly follows the infamous Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), a drunken sort of character who is always getting into trouble. Depp's performance truly steals the show, and he pulls off Mr. Sparrow with ease. Another noteworthy performance is by Orlando Bloom playing blacksmith Will Turner, who is in love with the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightely). When Elizabeth is captured by Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush), Captain of The Black Pearl, Will goes to Mr. Sparrow, agreeing to free him from prison if Jack helps him locate the dreaded ship. Probably one of the main reasons to see Pirates of the Caribbean is for the special effects. For those who don't know, the plot of the film revolves around a curse. The curse can only inhabit the body of pirates who steal a certain treasure, one of which I can not speak of as it will give away certain plot elements that are essential to the element of "surprise." This curse allows the pirates to be invulnerable, taking shots and being stabbed will not injure or kill them. With this curse comes a price, as by stepping into the moonlight will reveal a hollowed skeleton. With that being said, the transformation that occurs when the pirates step in and out of the moonlight are astonishing. Every bone moves the way a real human's skeletal structure should, and makes for some very pleasing eye candy. One of the best special effects sequences involves Captain Barbosa standing in the moonlight, drinking a bottle of wine. As the wine pours down his spine, some of the wine hits the rib cage, separating as it goes down to the wood floor. For the average movie watcher, this is a great movie if you enjoy the fantasy-adventure-action genre. While the film does slightly drag toward the end (the movie clocks in at about 143 min.), it still makes up for it by keeping you involved in the story. It's also worthy to note that the film was directed by Gore Verbinski, the same man behind The Ring. While Pirates of the Caribbean may not be as scary as The Ring, it definitely has some great fight scenes and specials effects. Check this one out, you won't regret it.

Summary: Great fun in a forgotten genre
Review: Frankly, I was surprised how much I liked this movie. What a throwback to the days of Flynn and Fairbanks! The pace is swift and seems effortless. The characterizations are a wonderful blend of light-comedy and earnest genre work. Depp and Rush keep the mood light enough so the other principles can play it mostly straight. At times it really reminded me of "The Princess Bride" in its style and feel - witty but well-made. The film does run a bit too long, not that it can't sustain the humor and action, but parts seem extraneous. A leaner film would have been better.

Summary: It's not that great everyone
Review: Yes, I did enjoy the movie. I thought Johnny Depp was excellent (worthy of an Oscar nomination though? hmmm...) But overall the film went on a bit too much and it wasn't anything that amazing. I guess it's enough to satisfy a lot of soccer moms who are just now discovering that Johnny Depp is a great actor. Oh yeah, add 1/2 a star to this. (I don't understand why Amazon uses the 5 star rating method, why not 4 stars being the highest and no stars being the lowest? Everyone else is doing it! and add the 1/2 star option too!)

Summary: good acting but not such a good plot
Review: I enjoyed this movie very much. it was a very funny and exciting movie. But I think that my enjoyment was not because of the movie's plot. In my opinion the plot was cute, but a little bit childish and silly. But what is good in this movie is the fact that the good acting makes the bad plot up. Johnny Depp changes this movie from good to great.
A great movie in jeneral!
