Summary: As fun a movie as you'll see this year
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean simply exceeded every expectation I had. As a fan of pirate history and stories, I knew I would go see the movie. However, I'm not a fan of marketing tie-ins, and figured that a movie based on a Disney ride would lack in all aspects other than Pirate Ships Shooting Cannons.Instead, I (and all viewers) were treated to a rollicking, humorous, and unapologetically fun film. Johnny Depp is the rock around which this movie is crafted. His captain Jack Sparrow is a loony buccaneer down on his luck, looking to steal a ship and go after his former crew. Meanwhile, blacksmith's apprentice Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) crafts swords, practices with them, and burns with love for the daughter of the Governor of Port Royal (Keira Knightley). When an ancient curse calls the legendary pirate vessel the Black Pearl to come and sack Port Royal, the adventures are underway. I'll say no more than that about the plot; if you haven't seen it, you deserve to enjoy the movie spoiler-free. Johnny Depp really makes the film with his quirky staggering and wide-eyed mania, slurring and smirking his way through gleefully cheesy piratical dialogue. Bloom and Knightley are excellent counterpoints, being both virtuous and yet intrigued by piracy. The DVD is stacked with extra features, including deleted scenes, featurettes, blooper reels, and more. One of the more enjoyable bits is a documentary of sorts filmed by "Pintel" actor Lee Arenburg. Arenburg takes a hand-held camera with him on set, and gives the viewer a neat look at both the filming of the movie and the cast and crew at play on location. The "Fly on the set" featurette is fun, too, as it lets the viewer watch from the side as certain scenes are slowly crafted from initial blocking up to and including pyro and falling sets. The special features add even more to what was already a movie worth owning. If you like action, adventure, and humor all wrapped up in a package that almost all ages can appreciate, get this DVD.

Summary: good stuff from disney? oxymoron? not this time.
Review: a movie based on a tired disneyworld ride? please. i starting watching this dvd with quiet indignation. i like quirky, arty FILMS. this was a popcorn flick of the first order. but i had forgotten about johnny depp. you must have faith in depp. this guy MAKES every movie that he's in. name a bad johnny depp movie...quick...can't do it, can you. well, if you think long enough you can, but he's good enough to add at least some interest to anything he's in. so there we go, a quirky movie it is. you forget it has anything to do with the Evil Empire (disney, that is) when depp is on screen with his keith richards slurring, eye makeup and gold teeth. i read somewhere that depp's daughter thinks her dad's a real pirate. hell, so do i. so if you're against summer blockbusters on principle, like i am, bend the rule a bit and see this one. it's pretty good.

Summary: The reluctant viewer becomes a convert
Review: I have to say, when I heard that Disney was making a film called "Pirates of the Caribbean" I thought "what a cheezy self-promotion" (because of Disney's ride by the same name). Then I saw actual previews and I thought, "OH NO! The action looks good! But I don't want to see this movie!" Well, I saw it. And greatly to my surprise, enjoyed it! As a matter of context, let me say that there are a few things I like in a movie: (1) something fun, (2) preferrably funny, and (3) a bonus if it has action. This movie has all of these--and a little romantic interest to boot. If you like these things in a movie---buy it or rent it!! The DVD has lots of little extras to interest fans of the film.

Review: See it once in the movies but if it is too late it would be best with a home theater system with a large screen. Still, as far as DVDs go this is among the best of the year.

Summary: He's The Best Pirate I've Ever Seen!
Review: I seriously wasn't expecting to like this movie as much as I did. A pirate movie??? There's a lot of potential for lameness there. Like a lot of people, I decided that I wanted to see it because of Orlando Bloom (who definitely didn't disappoint!), but when the credits rolled I found myself with a new appreciation for Johnny Depp. I've liked a lot of his movies (Edward Scissorhands and What's Eating Gilbert Grape to name a few), but I've never really thought of him as one of my favorite actors. After seeing his witty, inventive portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, how could I not include him on my list of favorites? From the moment he sails onscreen in his leaky, sinking boat (an image hilariously juxtaposed with dramatic, majestic music), Johnny Depp owns this movie. Savvy??? Anyway, enough about Johnny. I mean, I really can't say enough about the entire cast. Orlando Bloom (looking as handsome as ever!) plays Will Turner, a blacksmith who is somewhat reluctant to accept his pirate heritage. As the movie progresses, he does learn to accept it, which ultimately allows him to become the film's hero. Will lusts after the Governor's sophisticated yet spunky daughter, Elizabeth Swann (played by the gorgeous Keira Knightley). When Elizabeth is kidnapped by the cursed pirate crew (led by Geoffrey Rush as Capt. Barbossa) of the Black Pearl, Will has no choice but to team up with Jack Sparrow in order to find the Black Pearl and rescue Elizabeth. As you can imagine, much witty banter and swashbuckling action ensues. Yay! :) I got this DVD for Christmas, and I'm so glad I did! There are all kinds of cool extras, like video footage from the making of the movie, pirate facts and trivia, a blooper reel, deleted and alternate scenes, a few "Easter eggs", and insightful commentaries from both Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp. If your computer has a DVD-ROM drive, you can also pop in the discs to get access to more bonus material, including storyboards and the movie's script. Another kind of neat little feature is the "Moonlight Becomes Ye" effects studio, in which you can take a scanned photo of yourself and find out what you'd look like if you were a cursed pirate. Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl is really a must-see film. If for no other reason, see it for Johnny Depp's amazing performance, which was without a doubt one of the best of 2003.

Summary: Sorry I didn't see it in the theater
Review: When I saw an ad for the movie I thought "you have got to be kidding! A movie from a ride" I am sorry I dismissed it so easily. When I rented the DVD, I knew it was going to be fun when Depps character entered the story! Magestic music. Looking stalwart standing from what looks like the main mast of a ship! Then it turns out to be a small boat! It inturn sinks as he approaches the dock to which he calmly steps on! The film is fun, the cast is excellent and you can tell they had a fun making the film. Do watch for scenes that are based from the ride! There are several! Overall I love the film and the DVD is a great addition to the collection! This is a film that you can watch several times and not get bored by it! Can't wait for the sequal! Oh and do look for the scene after the credits, it gives a hint for the next movie....
