Summary: A very good, if not great movie
Review: I saw it in theaters, of course, so I have no idea as to extras on the DVD, but it is a very funny, good movie. I went since my daughter is a fan of Orlando Bloom & he is not hard on the eyes for me either. The movie, itself, was very entertaining. Johnny Depp was hilarious & I am not a huge fan of his, since his films are so inconsitent, in my mind. My only complaint would be the soundtrack @ times overwhelmed but in home you can always turn it down. My other complaint is that @ times there was too much going on on screen. It could have used more close-up then cut to action (like LOTR) as in fight scenes but that was minimal. I took my 4 yr old to see it, telling her 1st that it might get scary but she was scared for only a second.Wait after credits!

Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl


Elizabeth Swan: You were marooned on a desert island for three days and all you did was lie on the beach and drink rum?

Pirate Jack Sparrow: Welcome to the Caribbean!

The newest trend in movie making being sputtered out by the Hollywood dream machine involves Disney. Go figure. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl will shortly be followed by the release of Haunted Mansion, thus putting into motion this "grabbing at strawsEinitiative of turning Disneyland/world/EMPIRE theme rides into blockbuster movies. Inhibit your gag reflexes at the thought of Michael Eisner rolling around naked in a sea of his own greenback for a second. Pirates is actually a really good time and one that you might not shelling out for again and again, damn him!

On a Summer Movie Scale of 1 to 10, Pirates of the Caribbean pirates a 9. Three factors have led me to make this declaration. First, yaEgotta have excitement and Pirates delivers with swashbuckling verve. Second, the visuals and dialogue contain references that might even make your 85-year-old grandmother chuckle. Third: the presence of Johnny Depp, possibly the most talented, expressive movie actor working today. How can you not love the man who based his character on Keith Richards? (There is an obvious fourth reason that you'd probably mention first if you were a 10 to 80-year-old girl. His name is Orlando Bloom and he's our token hot sun-kissed boy).

Depp is pirate Jack Sparrow, formerly captain of the ill-famed monster ship the Black Pearl. After being ousted from power by a gang of mutant mutineers led by Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Sparrow escapes from his island exile to Port Royal in the hopes of "commandeeringEa new vessel. Not much later, the aforementioned mutineers attack Port Royal. Their objective is to find the last piece to a puzzle that would liberate them from a vile curse (a curse which makes them flesh by day and rotted corpses by moonlight). Who possesses this puzzle piece? None other than gorgeous Port Royal citizen Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley) and the hot patootie she stole it from, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). Long story much shorter: she is kidnapped, he enlists Sparrow's help to rescue her and the rest is Yo ho yo ho, a pirate's fight for three.

This pirate flick is fun for everyone. Even film academicians and intellectuals will have a good time despite themselves. Other than drinking my own bottle of rum on a sun-soaked Caribbean beach, I can't imagine a greater escape from reality. So, hoist the main sail and scuttle the jib, pack in the rum and follow the smell of treasure: we're huntinEpeg leg!

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR
Review: I have mostly praise for Pirates. Johnny Depp absolutely carries the movie with his exceptionally brilliant, somewhat comedic, performance as Captain Jack Sparrow. He was everything you could imagine a pirate to be - a sly thief with a swagger in his step and nothing but a desire to sail his beloved ship on the high seas. Orlando Bloom gave an excellent performance as heroic blacksmith Will Turner and Kiera Knightly played Turner's captured love interest Elizabeth Swann. Also, great performances by Geoffrey Rush as Jack Sparrow's undead enemy Captain Barbossa and Jack Davenport as Commodore Norrington. Another great attribute of this film was it's soundtrack. Klaus Badlet hit the nail on the head..perfect Pirate music! I only had two problems with the film. First, there were questions pertaining to the plot that should've been answered such as, why a Turner's blood was needed to break the curse. (It is possible that that question was answered but I missed it.) Also, the fight scenes between the British and the skeleton-pirates were a bit drawn out and could've been shorter. However, overall, this movie was one of the best times I've had at the movies in a long time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everything you want in a movie
Review: This is going to be a short review: I love this movie because of the intriguing story...and Johnny Depp. He completely shines in this movie. Orlando Bloom did a very good job too. This movie has so many nuances in it that leave you chuckling long after the movie is over. The action scenes are exciting, expecially the final sword fight, the special effects are convincing, and the music is awesome!!!

Pirates is such a fun movie, with many fun scenes and Very sexy characters. I was kind of surprised by the violence, though, it being a Disney movie and all, but one thing I've noticed is that people of EVERY age group above 7 or so enjoyed this movie. There's something about it that makes people watch it again and again. The Lion King is the best Disney animated movie, and PoC is the best non-animated Disney movie. Get the PoC soundtrack, the music is great. And get this DVD!!! Of course you want to make sure you have a big screen TV first, because it would be a shame to watch this action-packed movie on a small screen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!
Review: Now this film I really love. The story is superb, even though I had not expected it from a film adaptation of a theme-park ride. The special effects are amazing, the acting is fabulous, an overall thrill ride which takes you back to all the films you grew up with, repeated again and again. This is a pirate film with a twist, but still quite reminiscent of the Errol Flynn movies.

The two stand-out performances of this film are undoubtedly Johny Depp, who has made it a career of selecting roles for himself which are not only very suitable, but in which he shines and steals the show. This time, however, he has heavy competition in that department. Orlando Bloom, known for his role as Legolas in the Lord of the Ring movies, dazzles the movie-goer with his acting capabilities, looks and fighting skills. It seems a romantic hero is born in this movie...lets hope Mr. Bloom can keep shining and outperforming his co-stars.

The verdict? The only reason I wouldn't give this movie 5 stars is that I have seen a few better movies, in terms of story and other things. However, it is certainly one of the best movies I have seen this year! And well, as you can oly give full stars on Amazon, I'll give it all five...as I did truly love it...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It's Disney. What did you expect, the Matrix
Review: This movie sucked. Along with boring dragged out story plot, you've got the corny fighting scenes and the crappy actors excluding johnny depp. Don't even waste your money on anything with Disney's label on it because you know it's gonna be an overall waste of time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Kinda stunk
Review: When I went to see this movie (It was a double feature, I really went to see Nemo) I was literally falling asleep during the show. Not only do I hate pirate stuff in the first place, but this movie bored me to tears. However, there were some nice action scenes. If you like Pirate movies, however, go see this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most fun I've had at the movies this year!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is the most fun I have had at the movies this year. Johnny Depp steals the show and gives the best performance of his acclaimed career as Captain Jack Sparrow, one of the best movie characters of all time. Orlando Bloom,Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightley all do good jobs in their respective roles, but Depp made this movie an instant classic with his portrayal of a looney captain on a mission to retrieve his ship. The action sequences are amazing and the special effects are great, as is the story telling. This is the best adventure I have seen since Indiana Jones. You won't find any better fun at the movies this year. Lets hope that the Academy nominates Depp for his excellent performance.
