Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean Review
Review: I really like this movie a lot. It really inspired me a lot. i really like the ride in Disney World and loved it. The movie is just as good. Johnny Depp makes the movie funny and even better. Orlando Bloom is so cute. This movie is funny, scary in parts, and fun. It is well worth your time to go out and see it. Go and see Pirates of the Caribbean honestly. You will love it. It is now my favorite movie. I have seen it 2 times but i will see it 10 times more!!!!!! This is a must see movie. I bet it will get most watched movie of the year. You will love it. This is the best movie ever. I plan on buying it when it comes out to order.

SEE IT!!!!!!!!

Summary: An Instant Adventure Classic!
Review: Gore Verbinski has set the bar HIGH for any future summer films by making wit and brilliant performances an integral part of a blockbuster. Only "Nemo", also from the Disney folks, comes closest this summer in matching the excellence of this production.

From the well-staged fight choreography (The swordplay between Depp and Bloom in the early moments of the film is unbelievable!) to the split-second segues from human actor to CGI incarnation, the film is a visual treat.

Elaborate sets and location shots make this film a tour agent's delight.

The Caribbean has never looked more alluring.

Klaus Badelt's rousing score would make Rozsa proud.

"Pirates..." also delivers in the writing department. The lines delivered, especially those by Depp's "Captain Jack Sparrow" are on par with the likes of "Some Like it Hot", "Sunset Boulevard" and "All About Eve".

And the performances!!!

Orlando Bloom is Errol Flynn reincarnated. He has the looks, the moves, and the machismo of the legendary swashbuckler. Keira Knightley balances "distressed damsel" with [...] bravado as "Elizabeth". Geoffrey Rush seems to have channeled every actor to play "Long John Silver" but he embodies his "Capt. Barbosa" with a villainy that is distinctly his. Jonathan Pryce's "Governor Swann" is a doting and befuddled father and he pulls off the role nicely. Jack Davenport is well cast as enamored suitor and a "loyal to the Crown" naval officer.

Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook are hilarious as bumbling Black Pearl crewmembers.

Finally, one comes to further praise Johnny Depp. Only Val Kilmer is more chameleon-like. Depp brings a "swagger" to Jack Sparrow that is unlike any other cinematic pirate captain. The glances, the pauses, the strides all combine to make this one of the year's most memorable "feat accomplis".

Oscar SHOULD look kindly on Depp but it's doubtful. Because of the bias against fantasy/adventure, the film (and Depp's performance) will probably be overlooked come Academy Award time.

Hey, but the actor will be in great company.

Richard Burton and Sir Alfred never won an Oscar, either.

For that matter, never did Errol.

Summary: BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!!!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean has struck gold! Johnny Depp stars as the hilarious Cpt. Jack Sparrow, who is a drunk pirate, but will get you laughing for the rest of the movie. He makes you laught like you have never laughed before. After being marroned, he arrives in Port Royal and is almost nearly killed by the British. There he meets the blacksmith Will Turner, played by hottie Orlando Bloom, and is thrown in jail. One night, Sparrow's former ship, the Black Pearl, which is the fastest ship in the Caribbean, attacks Port Royal and kidnaps the governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann, played by Keira Knightley. Will decides to free Jack from jail only to save his childhood crush. While on the Black Pearl, Elizabeth realizes that the crew on the ship is cursed and are between dead and alive. They are normal during the day, but become skeletons in the moonlight. In order to break the curse, they must take the blood of a pirate and put it on pure Aztec gold. But Will has the one coin that stops them from breaking the curse because his father was a former Black Pearl crewmate. I won't tell the rest because you have to see the movie to see what happen's in the end. Overall, the movie is a bit long, (2 and a half hours), but has you begging for more. I must say that Orlando Bloom is HOT and Johnny Depp with black mascara and make-up has you guessing what he looks like without all of that hair and make-up. Another reason to see it is the special effects. They are out of this world, especially with the skeletons. I hope this review helped and GO SEE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!

Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean:The Curse of the Black Pearl
Review: This movie is a must-see. Johnny Depp as the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow is delightful and funny. The computer graphics are fantastic. There is plenty of action and romance without cursing or nudity. Small children may have nightmares from the skeletons but, after all, that is why it is rated PG-13. This movie encourages reading and history research. Captain Barbosa is the perfect adversary to Sparrow. I personally watched the movie 10 times and I am a 50 year-old woman. I have never enjoyed a movie so much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jack Sparrow is a great character
Review: I love this movie! It was fun adventure and great jokes. It was a good time, and by far the best movie of the summer. Even thought the movie was very good on its own, I think that what really made it great was Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp did a great job with this role and made it lots of fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: I thought this movie was great, a great cast that completely complimented the theme of this movie! Johnny Depp's role as a pirate, sooo unexpected but brilliant! Orlando Bloom was excellent as usual! The storyline was easily predictable but gripping, for a 2 1/2 hr movie it was really enjoyable and wasn't exausting to watch! A superb movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the #1 movie of the summer
Review: This movie was absolutely perfect in every sense of the word!!!!!
It was funny and scary, it had adventure, action, romance, great special effects and acting, and most importantly it had Johnny Depp!!!! Orlando Bloom was great too, and so was Geoffrey Rush, but no one can beat Johnny as Captain Jack Sparrow. He's indescribable, so I won't even try. Bottom line, see this movie in the theatres as many times as you possibly can, then buy it the moment it comes out and watch it at least once a day. Do it for Johnny!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pirates Of the Caribbean: The curse of the black pearl
Review: Wonderful, simply and absolutely wonderful. The movie contains everything for a more than enjoyable film. There is romance, adventure, and wonderfully played humor. Johnny Depp is purely brillant! His is funny and very fun-loving to watch. He is definetly the [bset looking] pirate I've ever seen. You cannot keep your eyes off him when he is on the screen. Kiera Knightly plays her character well, too. It is nice to see that she is not a whimp and can stand her ground while surrounded by pirates. Orlando Bloom plays the hero, which is many times hard to play because it is sometimes a very limited roll to expand on, but he really does take charge of his roll and does not let the audience down. This movie is just fun and wonderful. It is so very nice and refreshing to have a movie break away from the monotonous sequal dominated summer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ARRRR
Review: I've already seen this movie three times and I'm planning to go back for a fourth. The only downside is that the more I go see it, the longer it'll be in the theater, and it'll be even longer until I can own the thing! But I adore it, and it is one of the few movies that I will pay numerous times to see on the big screen, because the whole movie is just so great. I've been a fan of Johnny Depp forever, and this has just made me more determined that this guy is not messing around with his acting.
"...BUT WHY'S THE RUM GONE?!"
You just can't write this type of thing... reading the script would've bored me, but seeing him play it out so brilliantly keeps me coming back for eternity.
If you haven't seen this movie by now, you've got to, or I'll be having your nose for supper, savvy?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME! THE most fun you'll have all summer!
Review: I have seen this movie twice and plan on seeing it again tonight! This movie is by far the best and takes disney to a place it's never been before. I absolutely LOVE this movie and can't wait to see it again! It sucks you in and gives you the uncontrolable urge to sell all your possessions and indulge yourself in a life of piracy. This is a must-see movie! Even the music captivates you and takes you full force into the Caribbean! This movie ROCKS! I want everyone I know to see it! If I could give it 6 stars, I would've! Go see this movie!!!!!
