Summary: A Pearl of Great Price
Review: This isn't a simple pirate movie with Johnny Depp, Geoffery Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley. This is a full-bore Disney story with *Captain* Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbossa, Will Turner, and Elisabeth Swann, who just happen to be played by the various actors, along with special effects that put any mere "pirate movie" to shame. Rush and Depp bury themselves in their over-the-top characters. There are so many moments, lines, and scenes to remember, there's no way to cover them all in 1,000 words.

Just buy it, savvy? Do we have an accord?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hilarious
Review: This movie is absolutely hilarious. They have so many cute lines and funny things that it almost reminds me of the Matrix triology (though it is a very different movie). Of course, Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are extremely good looking too. However, it disappointed me that Johnny Depp got such a good, well developed character whereas Orlando Bloom's character was rather uninteresting, though Orlando did do a good job with it. It seems Orlando was just in this movie for publicity, because he definitly was the reason why it sold so well. I mean, what girl wouldn't go see a movie with Orlando Bloom in it? I just wish that they would've give him a better part!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow.
Review: I saw it in the theater 6 times, and the DVD made it that much better. The movie was fantastic. The DVD extras could have been better, but I am not complaining.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "..just a lot of violence and action.."
Review: I was expecting a lot more out of this movie - this being, because EVERYONE was raving about it. But please tell me, how is it so great? Sure, the acting is good, and the plot is decent.. but to me.. its just a lot of violence and action.. and thats it. All the girls are raving about it only because of Johnny Depp. But everyone else.. i'm not sure. It's probably just me.. because everyone else seems to like this movie so much. But I wouldn't reccomend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's all about Depp
Review: I never was a Johnny Depp fan before seeing this film, and now I'm going out to rent older films of his to catch up on what I missed. It's been years since I've seen an American actor go so elegantly over the top as Depp does in Pirates of the Caribbean; usually we only get this sort of show from super-talented British actors like Alan Rickman or Kenneth Branagh. Depp out-Britishes the British in this flick. He's great. Too bad it's not the kind of role Oscar likes, though -- at least, I don't think it is.

Oh, yes, the story is good too and it's not so gory and adult that the kids can't watch it, although very little ones might be scared. It's a nice pirate fantasy like the ones they used to make many years ago. Some parents might hate it because there are elements of magic and witchcraft (remember, it IS a fantasy!).

All in all, it's the most fun I've had watching movie in a long time. I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST movie of 2003!
Review: I saw this movie three times in the theater and bought it on DVD the day that it came out and have watched it about a million times since then!
This movie is nothing short of amazing!! I was really surprised at how true Disney kept the story to the Disney World ride - while still keeping it a great movie.
Jerry Bruckheimer is the producer of this action-packed-hilarious movie starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightly.

The story:
When the daughter of the Govenor, Elizabeth, is kidnapped by cursed pirates of the infamous Black Pearl ship, it is up to Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) the blacksmith, son of a pirate who is in love with Elizabeth, and Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) the quirky and eccentrically charming pirate with a grudge, to save her. What none of them know, however, is that the Black Pearl and the entire crew are cursed forever as the undead (they look like regular people during the day, but are revealed as skeletons by the moonlight - and they can not be killed) and the only thing that can break the curse is the blood of the son of the man who bestowed the curse upon them - the blood of Will Turner.

The effects in this movie are amazing! I was blown away! The action scenes and sword fighting is superb, never a dull moment. The acting is spectacular!! Especially by johnny Depp - Captain Jack Sparrow. His blend of Keith Richards and Pepe La Pue are absolutely hilarious and mesmorizing! You can not take your eyes off of him!!
This is a movie that is great for the whole family - adults and kids (although I don't recommend for very young children who might find some scenes scary, and some are slightly violent)

Summary: Only for kids
Review: This movie has too many swashbuckling sword fight sceens. After the first hour, you'll feel like someone taped your eyes lids open, forcing you to stare into a bright light bulb.

The special effects were OK, but I just wasn't interested in the story.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: MAKES A GOOD NIGHT LIGHT
Review: This movie is awful. It's full of everything that's been done ad nauseum in the pirate-action-adventure genre, so there's nothing new or original. It is a very boring movie; very tedious. Johnny Depp's talent was virtually wasted. The only thing worth noting is that a couple of the scenes are right out of the Disneyland ride of the same name. This no doubt will benefit both ventures. If you need a night light, pop this one into your player.
