Summary: Without a doubt he best movie of the year!
Review: I love this movie! I actually went twice on it when it was in movie theatres! Johnny Depp is FABULOUS in it and Orlando is of course an eyecandy! (and Keira for the guys) And one thing that is so cool about this movie, I didn't wanted to be the girl who was in the arms of Orlando Bloom or something, I just wanted to be a pirate and fight! hehe! The best movie of 2003 and even 2004 too!

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I saw this movie thinking it would be an amusing, watch-one-time-and-forget kind of movie. I was blown away! I have had the DVD for about two weeks now and have watched the movie 5 or 6 times. The cast is phenomenal. Johnny Depp is absolutely hilarious! I laugh every time I watch the movie! Geoffrey Rush is fantastic, too. Usually, I hate computer animation because it looks so fake, but this movie is absolutely fantastic! The skeletons look so realistic! The sword fights are very exciting, especially the one at the end where they are moving in and out of the moonlight. I highly recommend this movie!!!

Summary: An Excellent Movie
Review: The special effects in this movie were just stunning. The movie blends together, action, adventure, mystery, humor, and romance perfectly, and the added bonus of Orlando Bloom was greatly appreciated. ;) I highly recommend this movie. Johhny Depp was hysterical as Jack Sparrow - he has a good flair for making people laugh in POTC. Orlando Bloom was gorgeous throughout, and Keira Knightley was beautiful - an actress with amazing talents. Buy this movie, and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Arggh Matey...Yo Ho Ho and an Entertaining View
Review: Granted movies that draw their genesis muse from theme park rides don't inspire watching but you may be surprised here. Also, don't let the wieldy long sequel-like-esque title, "Pirates of the Caribbean, The Curse of the Black Pearl," scare you away, this is a good all ages (except for the young and faint of heart) movie to howl, swash buckle, and delight in.The power trio of Depp, Rush, and Bloom find themselves in uncharted waters turning in entertaining performances in a family adventure film, but who said serious actors can't have a little fun. Brando got to do the same in "The Freshman," and Pacino most certainly did "Dick Tracy." Johnny Depp definitely steals center stage as Captain Jack Sparrow as he tries to regain his piratical prominence commanding the Pearl. Special effects only interferes with the greater story a few times along the way and we are left with a mighty good watch. Shiver me timbers, swab the decks, and happy viewing with "Pirates."

Summary: Thrilling
Review: Pirates of the Carribean is a real treat for people of all ages. It's been a long time since Hollywood has made a pirate movie worth watching, and this one is a visual feast. It's filled with all the sword fighting, ship boarding action you could ask for. It has a very authentic feel and it's not at all childish as you would expect of a movie based on a Disney attraction. What makes this movie really stand out is the performance of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. He is inspired in the rile and really makes it his own. Without Depp, this movie wouln't be as good as it is. He really steals every scene he is in. Another point that makes this great is the attention to detail. Whether it's Port Royale, or a pirate's ship, you just have to be amazed at the quality of the production. You can really imagine you're there. In particular, the scenes of ship to ship battle, with cannons blazing, are some of the most exciting scenes in the movies today. If you love action or adventure, this is a must have for your DVD library.

Summary: An enjoyable, if lightweight, few hours.
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is regrettably based on a Disney ride. Okay, we got that out of the way. The good news is that the movei features immensely enjoyable work from Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, as the usually-protagonist Caption Jack Sparrow, and the evil Captain Barbossa, respectively. Depp's Keith Richards inspired pirate steals the show, in spite of frequent darkly funny lines from Barbossa. Also appearing in the film are the beautfiul and talented Keira Knightley, the too-talented-to-be-in-this-small-a-role Jonathon Pryce, the solid Jack Davenport, and the wooden but physically gifted (and hot, I am told) Orlando Bloom. Recoginizing where the fun the movie lies, Director Verbinski focuses on the antagonism between Barbossa and Sparrow, and Sparrow's good-natured ribbing of everyone else. The movie does a good job of not letting too much times pass between swordfights, and staying light on its feet, and stays enjoyable throughout. By no means a great movie, it is an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon, and something you will want to again, to catch some of the more subtle jokes. This transfer is gorgeous, with rich colors and clean lines. The three commentary tracks are okay, not great. The other features are numerous, though middling in quality. By the way, does any non-Pixar movie have a good blooper reel? This doesn't, and the deleted scenes should remains so. Buy this DVD for the movie, not the special features.

Summary: Pirates with Attitude
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is a fun-filled action adventure with performances from an all-star cast that make it a memorable picture. Johnny Depp's role is slightly overdone, but that makes it all the more enjoyable.
The DVD has superb extra features, with 19 deleted and extended scenes. The commentaries by cast and crew are interesting, and give an insight into the thoughts and feelings of the professionals who worked on the picture. I would recommend this DVD to everyone, no matter their age or preferred movie genre.

Summary: It's Amazing, Incredible, I'm astonished
Review: This movie blew me away, it's so cool! Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, all the other actors on this movie, were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo incredible. I only have one word to say about this movie. Astonishment. I think it has a twist of a lot of things. Sadness, not really scary, thrilling, very funny, and romantic. I really love this movie, that's why the 3rd or 2nd day it came out, my friend bought it for our family. I love the way "Captain" Jack Sparrow walked, it was a slanting kind of walk. And he was excellent at his swords-work. And Will Turner-You were an excellent pirate, and Romeo. You were also very good at swords-work. And Elizabeth "Turner"-I thought you were very funny through-out the movie. I wasn't once dissapionted in you. I though you could fight! (I'd never have the nerve to do that!) Oh, and by the way "Captain" Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), you are by doubt the best pirate I've ever seen! I love this movie so much, and whoever rents it, I think you'll want to buy it the very next day. I give it 5 stars, I wish I could go higher, though.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: I was trying to find a movie that was appropriate for my 12 year old son. He suggested "Pirates". From the very beginning, this was a movie that drew me in. I genuinely wanted to see what came next and how the characters were going to get out of each situation. Although, I was immediately distracted by Keira Knightley's facial expressions. Whether she was laying in bed or fighting pirates, she looked like she had a "dip" tucked away in her bottom lip. I really found this to be very very distracting. Otherwise, I won't go into great detail because there are some very thorough reviews on the board already, but I would say that this movie did for me what few movies do.. it made me forget about time and life and the outside world completely. When I walked out of the theater I was surprised that it was still daylight and felt a bit dazed. Pirates had taken me on a 2.5 hour ride and had kept my full attention the entire time. Johnny Depp does a great job. I think this is his best role ever. My thought is that he is so used to playing pretty boy parts that sometimes they come out a little shallow.. but in Pirates he is definitely not a pretty boy and seems to have totally let go and just played the role from his heart (and his funny bone). I wonder how much of it was ad libbed and how much was actually in the script. I found him to be completely witty and charming. As it turns out this was a perfect movie for me and my son to watch together. The movie included romance without making me uncomfortable or giving me things to have to explain later. A few who are younger might be a little affected by the ghostly pirates skeletons. A sequel could easily be made and I would be eager to go see it also.
