Rating: Summary: THE BEST MOVIE OF THE NEW MILLENIUM Review: This movie wuz awesome. It had all the right things to make it one of bets movies ever made. Olando Bloom is the "MAN" in this movie. He is awesome and very wity. Geoffrey Rush puts a excellant performance as the scary and horrible pirate Barbossa, and whats to say about Johnny Depp but THAT HE IS AMAZING AND ONE OF THE BEST LEAD ACTORS OUT THERE. He is great as Jack Sparrow and throws a brillant performance in this spectacular movie of sword fighting, love, and betrayal. This movie is going to be one of best movies ever and is a must for DVD collectors. PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN IS THE BEST AND JOHNNY DEPP IS AWESOME AND VERY FUNNY. WITHOUT HIM THE MOVIE WOULD LIKE ENJOYMENT. WAY TO GO GORE VERBINSKI.
Rating: Summary: Not Spanish Language & Subtitles !!! Review: It is really a shame that there are no language or subtitles for this amazing movie.I'll have to wait until a version on another zone in order to have it and share it with my family.
Rating: Summary: one of the best films of the year Review: i saw this movie twice in the theater. i absolutely loved it. it was definitely worth going to see. i think of it as one of those films that you have to see in theater in order for you to get the full impact. Johnny Depp took a character and made him unforgettable. a lot of people thought this was going to be a serious movie, but it wasn't. sure, it had it's serious parts, but it was also a comedy, romance, action/adventure mixed with a little bit of horror. if you haven't seen this film i beg you to see it. it's like a redifined Arrol Flynn movie.
Rating: Summary: I'd share a bottle of rum any time, Capt Sparrow! Review: Having never even heard of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, I had no preconceptions about the film. I've always been a fan of Johnny Depp but, in this film, you can't take your eyes off him when he's on screen - and not just because of his outrageously campy affectations. A lesser actor would have failed totally and Jack Sparrow would have been just a cartoon character. Both Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush seemed to be having great fun with their roles: Geoffrey Rush looked very much at home in his part of the wily and evil Capt'n Barbossa - the man must have salt water in his blood. As a result, the two "straight parts" of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley seemed a bit bland in comparison. The action starts revving up right from the first few minutes and keeps growing. My only criticism is that the fight at the end was maybe a little too long, but that's only a small point. It's one of the few films I've gone to see two days in a row. The special effects are great without overshadowing the story and the whole film gives the long-neglected genre of pirate movies a good name once again. Just stick me on a desert island with Captain Sparrow and I'll be quite happy, thank you very much!
Rating: Summary: Depp and Kneightley are the only treasures in so-so movie. Review: When Elizabeth, the daughter of Port Royal's governor is kidnapped by the crew of The Black Pearl, a legendary ship whose crew are demonic and invincible, blacksmith William Turner, who has a crush on Elizabeth, but can't express it due to his class standing, is forced to turn to Jack Sparrow, an imprisoned pirate waiting for the gallows, for help. Sparrow promises to take him to the Pearl and "his bonnie lass" in exchange for springing him out. Johnny Depp singlehandedly carries this movie as Jack Sparrow, giving an eccentric, slightly manic, fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants attitude. The reason for Elizabeth's kidnapping becomes apparent. Seems that she holds the key to removing a curse the pirates of the Black Pearl are all under. She seems to manage herself pretty well from the time of her capture. Not only does she boldly dictate the rules of parley of two goofy pirates with bad teeth, one with a glass eye, but she does stand up to the menacing Captain Barbosa, the leader of the pirate crew, played by Geoffrey Rush. Keira Knightley (Elizabeth) has a busy year, appearing as Jules in Bend It Like Beckham and also appearing in Love Actually. Apart from Depp, she's the only other performer who shines out. Sparrow is quite a colourful character to the bland Turner. He's a good swordfighter, clever with words and ploys, and helps Turner become more seaworthy and pirate savvy. He's also a bit of a cad, what with the women who slap him, to which remarks on whether or not he deserved that slap. With an impish manic gleam in his eye, he is a bit of a clown. Tanned from his years as a pirate, that's not all that sets him aside from the lily-white British. His long black hair is in dreads of a sort, decked with beads, even his goatee is split in three. He's styled as quite the dandy like Errol Flynn, but I doubt if the latter wore eye makeup. Another theme that comes through is the code the pirates have among themselves. Apart from the rule of parley, where hostilities are ceased to make way for negotiations, there's also the rule that if a pirate doesn't return within a certain time, he's left behind. What differentiates this code from the standard rules of British society is that the codes are just a guideline, which can be good or bad, but it shows how more flexible and freer pirates are, depending on, again, how good or bad they are. The realization of the ghoulish pirates are a special effects triumph, grotesque as they are. That aside, the action sequences are nothing special, and the scenes of constant escapes and recaptures are a bit much. Other debits in this movie include the padding that contributes to its overlength. Certain adventure movies utilize that extra to enhance this film and this isn't one of them. And the characters of Elizabeth's father and the commodore are cardboard cut-outs embodying the hierarchical mindset of Britain's upper crust society and military elite, and as such, their only purpose seems to serve as a direct contrast to outsiders such as Sparrow and his associates. Put something strong in your rum and then maybe it'll merit a four star rating.
Rating: Summary: See it - it is fun Review: I 've read quite a number of the reviews and one thing that strikes me is that people are disappointed because it is not what it was hyped to be. If you believe the hype, you are always going to be disappointed. No marketeer will ever label their movie as 'A mediocre not quite epic but you should see it anyway'. Pirates of the Caribean has been hyped but that does not make it a good or bad movie, I went to see it and came out smiling. The script isn't oscar material and the bad guys are cliché pirates to the bone (pun intended). There are some glitches in the story and not all characters have been developed well. Having said that, I loved the photography, Had a ball watching Johnny Depp turning Jack Sparrow into a character to remember, laughed at the (sometimes corny) jokes and found the busy ships fascinating. This is a pirate movie pur-sang, don't expect a phylosophical plot about good or bad, it doesn't really matter here. This is entertainment. Bottomline, this is a fun movie with beautifull scenes, a great role for Johnny Depp and a Disney feelgood ending.
Rating: Summary: ! ! ! ! ! Review: even though this movie has a few of those cheesy and obvious flirty one-liners, who can resist the magic words--JOHNNY DEPP. even if you dont like pirates, think about it. this movie has johnny depp in it. how could it NOT be good?? he is the perfect person to play Jack Sparrow and he does a fab job of it too. full of action, comedy, and of course romance. if you havent seen this movie yet--what are you waiting for! get the heck out there and buy it! worth every penny.
Rating: Summary: Depp Review: Johnny Depp makes this movie one of my favorite ever. He OWNS this character and I could not imagine anyone else playing him.
Rating: Summary: A true piece of treasure. Review: Finally,a better pirate movie than Peter Pan and more violent than Errol Flynn. Johnny Depp plays a comical pirate,Capt. Jack Sparrow. (Make sure you call him Capt. Jack Sparrow.) Orlando Bloom plays Will Turner. Bloom also does a great job although he is overshadowed by Johnny Depp. Geoffrey Rush plays Capt. Barbosa a former shipmate of Sparrow as you find out. Kiera Knightly plays the governor's daughter who is loved by Turner. This is a great movie.
