Summary: "That must be the best pirate i have ever seen!"
Review: Arrrrgh, ye be warned! Here there be monsters! And here be a truly wonderful cinematic experience! Johnny Depp, wow, what more can I say, the man is absolutely marvellous. He is without doubt one hell of a package. Besides being very handsome he can also act, and act well! He is the heart and soul of "Pirates". Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp), former captain of "The Black Pearl" is out for revenge and Captain Barbossa is the target! Barbossa , his mutinous first mate, is played perfectly by supertalented Geoffrey Rush. His witty dialogue and pirate brogue add a wonderful touch to this adventure. Barbossa and his crew of "msicreants" are cursed as a result of stealing treasure that has a sordid history. They need to lift the curse by finding the gold coins of Cortez that doomed them to an eternity of living death and wash the curse clean in the blood of "Bootstrap" Bill Turner father of "Will" Turner, played by Orlando Bloom. The significance of Bill's blood is not really developed but that is not necessary in keeping the movie on course. Ms Swan (Keira Knightley), her father(Jonathan Pryce) and her admirer, Commodore Norrington(Jack Davenport) all play significant roles and the acting throughout is suberb. Without giving too much away, Will and Jack embark on a duel purpose adventure to rescue Ms Swan and seek revenge on Barbossa respectively. The result is a swashbuckling, rip-roaring pirate adventure set in breathtaking locations and non-stop action. This, along with another notable adventure concerning hobbits, happen to be my best pics of the year. I can only hope for a sequel!

Summary: wow
Review: I've never been a fan of Disney movies, most are just so plain awful and sugar-coated it's sickening. When I got this DVD I feared the worst but I was wrong. I loved the movie, though it is NOT one for the kids despite being made by Disney. To the people that complain about the violence, by their very nature pirates were far from nice people. The only problem I had was the accents seem to get strangely Australian rather than English by the end. There is also one point where Depp slide down a rope, a little difficult to do when your hands are chained together, he clearly throws the chain over the rope. Aside from that I loved it but then I prefer the darker movies. Buy it but do not buy it for kids! It's the same people complaining that thought taking the kids to see Jurassic Park a good idea... Dinosaurs they are, Barney they're not!

Summary: Wonderful... Johnny Depp is amazing!
Review: No effence to the other writers but how can a movie that made box office records, nominated for 5 acadamy awards, and dazzeled people around the world be called a bore? This movie is a great adventure that will have you bubbeling for more. That is why they are making a second Pirates Of The Caribbean, Treasures Of The Lost Abyss. Thank goodness for Jerry Bruckheimer! Wonderful movie, dazzeling actors ( one nominated for an acadamy), great special effects, and knock your socks off makeup (also nominated) will give you the ride of a lifetime. Hope you like the movie as much as I do!

Summary: Strictly kids' stuff, and way too long!
Review: I wasn't expecting much from this movie -- basically mindless entertainment. And it was somewhat entertaining, though VERY cliched, for about the first hour. The scenery is beautiful and the cast is great. But, as other reviewers said, there are WAY too many interminable sword fights and marine battles. And my God, why did they make this film almost 2-1/2 hours long? I was getting restless after 90 minutes, and after two hours I finally threw in the towel. Johnny Depp isn't bad, but as other viewers said, many times he races through his lines so fast that you can't understand them, which I find VERY frustrating and annoying.

Summary: pirates of the caribbean-the curse of the black pearl
Review: Great movie! But it would have been nice if the people that made the outer jacket for the movie would have made a point of putting wide screen in bigger letters on the out side. I may not have bought the movie if I had known it only came in widescreen. I'm a fan of fullscreen movies. wait till some of the actors get a little older thay will learn to appreaciate fullscreen movies.

Summary: a couple of quibbles (spoilers)
Review: I don't think they adequately justified why they needed William Turner's blood. The first time they're at the cave trying to undo the curse, something is mentioned about them all having given blood, but I don't see how that would be possible when they're all undead and presumably haven't had any blood to give since taking the inca gold. Also, it was mentioned that William Turner was dropped overboard while tied to a cannon. Since Turner had been party to taking the gold (otherwise, how would he have sent a piece away to his son?), he was undead and therefore would still be hanging out there at the bottom of the sea...until his son lifted the curse, whereupon he would have drowned or imploded or both. There were also some motivations that didn't seem especially believable. Despite these flaws, though, the movie managed to be rather entertaining, which is why I gave it four stars.

Summary: From a swashbucking fan - this one is dumb, dumb, dumb
Review: I enjoy pirate flicks/books, and most any swashbukler, but I do not agree with the majority here at all. Johnney Depp was milding amusing, but the living dead pirate crew were just too dumb. I almost fell asleep a couple of times, and couldn't wait for it to end.

Summary: Dont believe the hype
Review: A movie that makes 300 million in the domestic box office must be good right? No. I almost fell asleep watching this, twice! Though, Depp's performance was quite good and original as the bi-curious pirate. Like Finding Nemo, this one is more hype than substance. Thank goodness the library lets u check out dvds for free...

Summary: Unbelieveable
Review: I hadn't seen the movie in the theater since I just didn't have the time. I cannot believe just how wonderfully well this was done. I also bought an Academy Award winning movie at the same time, but this one spoiled me. It is a bit intense for younger children, but adults and children at least say 9 or so should love it. There are clever references to the actual ride at the Disney parks and it did bring a chuckle at the sights. Johnny Depp once again proves that quirky has a place in the movies and he does an amazing job. Not a weak moment in the movie and it really moves along in its over 2 hour length at an interest grabbing pace. Obviously I absolutely loved it!
