Summary: GRRREAT MOVIE!
Review: I loved this movie! If you like action/adventure/comedy... or just like movies, you will like this movie. Johnny Depp fit the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in this wonderful movie. I advise you to see it today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!!
Review: This movie is one of those movies where you can watch it three times in one day, and never get tired or bored watching it. The actors are brilliantly cast, the plot is magnificent, and the special effects are some of the best that I have personally seen. The movie is so well acted that it makes you want to marry Orlando Bloom, fight with Johnny Depp, and dance with Kiera Kilsey. It's only a shame that the rating system goes up to five stars. So hats off to the actors and the writers! Excellent Job!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Welcome to the Caribbean, love"
Review: ...and welcome to the best movie ever! Johnny Depp is the dashing and drunk Captain Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom the reluctant blacksmith-turned-pirate Will Turner, and Kiara Knightly is not your typical damsel in distress. This movie is amazingly funny, JOhnny Depp's performance especially is outstanding, and he definately gets the best lines. The DVD is a fantastic deal, with 19 deleted scenes (most of which should have been left in the movie, in my opinion) including a funny improvisation between Johhny Depp and Barbossa's pirates. A blooper real is included as well, and our loveable Captain Jack never once drops the accent, even when he makes a mistake! Commentary, the making of, it's all included!!! A great DVD ((and hey, it's got Johnny Depp on the cover!)) This movie will make you stagger around home, school and work, saying "eh?" and "savvy?" at the end of all your sentences (If you don't do that already...)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Johnny Depp
Review: The one thing that stands out through this entire movie is Johnny Depps OUTSTANDING performance. If this doesn't earn him an Oscar nomination...shame on the Academy. It won't surpise me if they do not nominate him. Just like they didn't nominate Joaquin Phoenix for "Best Supporting Actor" in Gladiator. Shame on the Academy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: ok movie, but way overhyped and over-rated
Review: Don't get me wrong, it was very entertaining. But it was by no means the "blockbuster" everyone made it out to be. Johnny Depp and company do a good job. The special effects were cool. But i don't know, it was just lacking something, can't put my finger on it.
For those of you who don't know or haven't seen it yet, the story is about a group of cursed pirates and two mens quest to rescue a woman they hold captive. Been there, done that....
All in all, a fun "family" movie. I would recomend it to anyone, but would tell them It's not the best movie out there, but then again, the last 2 matrix films sucked too...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exceptionally *Good*
Review: This movie's plot was terrific. If even had a fair amount of humor bundled within it. The only downside is that it feels a bit long. Maybe it could have ended earlier Otherwise, it is a terrific movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum
Review: "Pirates of the Caribbean" is never boring; and at almost two and a half hours, that's quiet the accomplishment. Johnny Depp is Captian Jack Sparrow, a luckless pirate who is recruited to help a young man (Orlando Bloom) find his lost love, who was carried away by evil cursed pirates. This is a throw back to the old Earl Flynn swash bucklers of the 1930s. There is adventure, action (lots of violence, but little blood), romance, and a lot of funny and cooky characters. Of course Depp is the star, but the others are worth mentioning; especially Geoffrey Rush as the lead evil pirate. There are lots of great action scenes, like the battle of the two ships in the middle, although I wonder how both ships could take so much damage and still float. The CGI are there too; noticable but well done. This is certainly a good movie for the whole family, though I'd watch the younger kids when the crew members become ghosts, that had some parents leaving with screaming children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If Ye were a pirate, Ye would be proud!
Review: I have to say, being a closet-lover of Pirates, I was thrilled to death when I saw the trailer for this movie....and then I watched it, and then I HAD to buy the DVD. Johnny Depp never fails to give an outstanding performance, and I knew Kiera Knightly would be amazing after seeing "Bend It Like Beckham". Orlando Bloom did a fantastic job as Will Turner, which I knew he would after his role as "Legolas" in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The entire cast of Cursed Pirates and British Army men did a great job and I would watch this movie over and over and over if I could. *****!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie i ever saw!!
Review: This is a great movie, I have no complains about it and I don't think you can find any. It has some great actors, such as Orlando Bloom, and Johnny Depp who of course makes this movie so much better. It has a solid story line and also a lot of action. I always wanted to see a movie with pirates because I always wondered how it was to live in an time when they ruled all waters. And this movie was right on my order and it covers the fear of pirates and how they lived to enrich themselves. There is also a buzz in the air that a sequel is coming, that would be another great movie, which I am going to see for SURE, I hope you all do too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arrrr, mateys!
Review: I'll admit, when I first saw the trailer for this film, I thought, "Well, AHAHA. Another Pirate (based on a ride no less!) film to sink in the box office. Nice job, Disney." But, being a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I had to see for the sole purpose of the beauty that is Orlando Bloom.

And, what do you know? 'Pirates' ended up being my favourite film of the year! Johnny Depp is absolutely hysterical as Captain Jack Sparrow, an ubsurd yet charmingly insane pirate who wants nothing more than to get his ship back from the betraying Barbossa, played to perfection by Jeffrey Rush. When Barbossa kidnaps the beautiful Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightly), Jack teams up with Elizabeth's childhood sweetheart Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). All the while, stiff anti-pirate Commodor Norrington (Jack Davenport) brings up the rear in his own attempts to rescue Elizabeth. As previous reviewers have noted, this film would've sunk without Johnny Depp, who suprised many first-time-fans with his unconventionally comical skills. Bloom, Knightly, Rush and Davenport were also perfectly cast and give devoted performances. This film shows what diverse actors Depp and Rush are, and certainly converted me :)

The plot is oh so perfectly Disney. Skeletal pirates, cheesy one-liners, happily-ever-after ending. And yet is was so much more. As Disney's first ever PG-13 film, 'Pirates' is action-packed and fast-moving, a just plain *fun* watch. When you're not drooling over the cast's good-looks or marveling at Depp's acting skills, you're caring about the characters and dreading the end.

The DVD contains a film-geek's dreams. A hysterical blooper reel ("Arrr, swash swash buckle buckle"), documentaries, deleted/altered scenes, diaries, and so much more. The cast commentary of Keira Knightly and Jack Davenport is particularly fun ("Look at my cleavage!").

Overall, a fun film for kids and adults. I hear tell of a sequel with all the cast returning (with the exception of Rush and Jack the Monkey). Hopefully we'll have a Pirates 2 to look forward to next year!
