Summary: Certainly wasn't expecting it
Review: When I first saw the commercials for this movie, I just laughed. My first instinct was to think that Disney had become truly desperate if they were resorting to making a movie about one of their rides. Then one of my friends said she wanted me to go with her to see the movie because she felt stupid going to see it alone. I only gave in when she offered to pay my way (not that it's much, but come on, free popcorn and drinks!) and I sat down to get ready for a long bore. Well, the movie certainly is long, but not boring in the least. The beginning set a creepy tone to get us in the right mood, then once we saw Jack we had the perfect set-up: action, drama, humor, and a love story that was unfortunately a little too far pushed to the back burner. The only movie I'd ever seen Johnny Depp in before was Sleepy Hollow, so I wouldn't have recognized him if it wasn't for the fact that the commercials told me who he was. The fact that he could play a virtually always-drunk pirate so well cracked me up. I will never forget "But why is the rum gone?" That's the first quote from the movie that pops out of my mouth every time. Basically, I loved his entire performance, I just wish there was a little less eyeliner on the poor man. Then we have Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, who make a dream couple not only in looks, but also in their roles as a governor's daughter and a blacksmith. The rich and the poor, it's always the ultimate love story. Sure, Will Turner is a slightly stiff character, but he loosened up considerably by the end. Then Geoffrey Rush, I'm not sure anything I say could do him justice. Right along with Johnny Depp, he was the most perfect for his character. Now we throw in the incredible special effects, fight scenes, and plot, and we have one of the best films of the year. The only thing I have to add is that I felt a little bad for Norrington by the end of the film. The poor guy needs a girl that likes him, he deserves it. Jack Davenport did a wonderful job with him.

Summary: Wow, a great, great movie!!!!!
Review: Even before purchasing this movie, I was excited to see it. I finally got it yesterday and it is beyond any shadow of a doubt, one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is going on my recommendations list. Choosing Johnny Depp for the part of Jack was pure genius. He added the comedic relief to the film. I like that he picks films not just for money and popularity, but because he wants to have fun doing it. It shows on the screen. Orlando Bloom (so cute!) played the excellent hero. I often wish that someone loved me enough to risk his life by saving me from Pirates. Keira did an excellent job, she realy got down and dirty, which is different from her natural lazy attitude. You must go out and by this film, you will love it for generations to come!

Summary: Johnny Depp excels in this role
Review: Pirates, the rescue of a fair damsel, swashbuckling fight scenes, soaring musical score--what else could you want in a movie? With all that, the best part of the movie is the performance of Johnny Depp as a pirate who gets no respect. He is subtle, soft-spoken and hilarious. This is a highly-entertaining film with wonderful characters where you just have to sit back and enjoy.

Summary: Action? Adventure? or Comedy?
Review: Johnny Depp provided a great performance that often provided comic relief. But after having seen "Master and Commander; The Far Side of the World" before and "The Return of the King" after, we were confused about under which heading we might find "Pirates"...

Summary: WOOHOO!!! JACK DAVENPORT! AMAZING!
Review: First I will get the typical stuff out of the way....This was an awesome movie! Johnny Depp was great which is expected and of course Disney always comes through with making the viewer feel the authenticity of the movie! BUT I WAS SO DELIGHTFULLY SURPRISED when Jack Davenport was on the screen (Norrington)! He was perfect for the part and he is a great actor. I am a huge fan of his hit show "Coupling" which is on BBC America (please DO NOT confuse it with the americanized failure from NBC). I was so impressed on the emotion you felt from his character and how well he played the part! I highly recommend this movie even if you just watch Jack's parts! Finally we are recognizing the awesome talent from over the pond! Leave it to Disney is all I have to say! Great JOB!! Great movie!

Summary: get this film or die trying
Review: Pirates of the carribean is the greatest action/adventure film ever. Depp is excelent, he acted very well in this film and his charector(Jack Sparrow) has an interesing personality. The special affects are excelent. My favorite part is when the evil cpn. Barbosa says "you better believe in ghost stories, your in one" and then becomes a skeleton kind of thing.

Summary: Excellent movie.
Review: One of the best movies I saw this year. Great adventure, acting, special effects...Johnny Depp did a terrific job, as did all of the other actors. I would recommend to anyone above age 10 or so, as some of the special effects could be scary. I'm in college and all of the guys and girls I've talked to who have seen it loved it. Definitely a must buy!

Summary: Pirates are interesting
Review: This is a seriously funny, and very fun, movie. I have never ridden the ride, but the movie is a blast. Johnny Depp is a comic actor of force and his stage presence is incredible. Every scene he is in is marvelous. The ingenue is gorgeous and the action is fast, furious and believable. For there to be humor I was told by a teacher long ago there must be believable risk, and you must care about what happens to the characters. I do not remember why he said it, but I think it is true. One of the best parts of the movie is the sword play. These people have been to school. The sword fights do not look like creative camera work, they looks real. I wonder how long it takes to learn to fence? The characters are not cardboard in the end. They all grow and believably change as a result of the action. It is a wonderful flic and I cannot recommend it more highly
