Summary: Love This Movie!!!
Review: I am not easily impressed, but I have to say I enjoyed this movie immensely. I thought Orlando Bloom was brilliant, a true actor. I absolutely fell in love with his character, this movie would have been lost without him. Keira Knightly is stunning, the perfect combination of innocence and strength. And Johnny Depp was perfect in this role. There is no other actor that could have pulled off his character. Everything from his walk to the slightest mannerism was right on. This movie kept me captivated from beginning to end. Something not easily done.

Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean
Review: Well, I expected more! My first reaction after leaving the theaters. I couldn't believe the hype over Johnny Depp in this. Yes, he is a talented actor. Did he steal the show? No. I'm positive why children went to see this, it would be amazing seeing it through a child's eyes. But I saw this film through adult eyes, and I can't say I loved it. Sure it was an O.K. movie, but so was "Once Upon A Time In Mexico". They should've put more time into the script.

Summary: SWIMAWAYFAST!
Review: Argh. No pun intended, I'm sad to say. I had expected so much from this film because it was hyped to the roof by so many critics and by people I knew, and it turned out to be juvenile, redundant, and a mere plodding from one scene/location to the next. This film almost completely lacked momentum, characters were completely expendable or terribly undefined, the score was monotonous, and the entire movie was painfully unfunny. I think I laughed twice, or chuckled, rather. The problem is that the movie is rarely clever, and even Sparrow is only sporadically humorous. Actually, he could have been really funny, except the scene direction, script, and his co-stars weighed him down. For instance, when he's trying to distract the two guards during the commodore's promotion ceremony, the guards' lines were so obviously tailored for the folks at home (so we dolts can figure out what the Black Pearl is--how considerate), that Depp's very being near such dialogue was cringe-worthy for me. And I ask you, how many times are we supposed to find it funny when someone gets clobbered in the head? Or when an undead guy's eye falls out? Or when the zombie monkey bares its fangs? And why are we supposed to care about some nameless British navy guys while they're fighting with some undead guys, and with the utmost in confusing and erratic editing, besides? The worthwhile aspects of this movie were wasted (such as Barbosa's motivation for wanting the curse lifted, i.e. his lackluster existence), and the expendable aspects (the two pirates in drag in the dingy) were stretched paper thin, and the movie grows wearisome about halfway through. Further, couldn't the makeup artist have laid off the bright pink lipstick when doing Elizabeth's makeup? And did she really need strategically placed highlights in her hair? We're supposed to see her as independent, headstrong, and feisty, and yet the makeup department still has to doll her up most ridiculously. Many people love or enjoy this movie. Perhaps I'd like it better upon second viewing, and I'm going to watch it again to see if I can appreciate whatever I might have missed. However, if I still find it dull, uninspired, and tedious, I will "curse" myself (argh) for wasting 2.5 hours when I should have known better.

Summary: It was OK
Review: That says it all, doesn't it? It was a mediocre movie full of action, action, action, but little subtance. It's a fun movie, but has little point or purpose. Funny in some places, but mostly just corny. Plus Johnny Depp just didn't "do it" for me. To be honest, he kinda creeped me out.

Summary: Thoroughly Enjoyable!
Review: I watched this movie only because my kids wanted to see it. The last thing this 50-year-old mom was in the mood for was ol' Scissorhands in a pirate movie. Well, was I surprised! Johnny Depp stole my heart, and I left that theater wanting more. I actually went back the next day with my husband and saw it again. Just a good-time movie, well worth the watch.

Summary: You Would Be a Cursed Pirate NOT to Buy This DVD
Review: One word: AMAZING! This movie is one of the greatest films ever! It revives the swashbuckling pirate adventure flim genre where the last good films of this genre were made decades ago with the likes of Errol Flynn. There is a little bit of everything for just about anyone...action, adventure, romance, awesome digital effects, etc. As I sit in my dorm room, longing for finals to be over, I think about the time when they will all be over and I will be able to watch this awesome DVD during winter break!....this DVD is totally worth it. Do not be disinclined to acquiesce to my request....buy the DVD, savvy?

Summary: My favorite movie
Review: I absolutely LOVE this movie!! It is a great film and it has something for everyone. Johnny Depp is amazing as one of the best fictional characters I have ever seen. It is a hilarious movie and a refreshing escape into the world of Disney. People who have been on the ride will recognize familiar scenes which play out well in the story. Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Geoffry Rush were also great in their roles. Some complain it is too long, but as the old saying goes, "You can't have too much of a good thing." I recommend this movie to everyone!
