Summary: Its not all about Orlando
Review: This movie, I feel, being a pirate lover, was a exceptional movie. The graphics, and the costumes and settings were excellent. And no, I didn't watch it just because Orlando Bloom is featured. I even felt he didn't do a good job on the part, and the real award goes to Johnny Depp. He WAS the character.
I hope you all have the privelidge to watch it. ENJOY!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yo Ho Ho and a bottle or 2 of Rum!
Review: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightley had great chemistry. I saw this movie opening night and there wasn't a seat left in the theatre. It was a bit slow to start the plot, but well worth the wait.
Johnny Depp was a brilliant Pirate! He could shiver me timbers any day!
Adventure, beautiful scenery and fun for all! If you have been on the ride, it is a joy to look at the scenes that they incorporated into the movie!
At the end of the movie, our audience applauded like the good ol' days!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better Than I Expected
Review: O.k. lets face it, either people love pirate movies or they hate them. No grey area.
My 11yr old son couldn't wait to see it, however my 8yr. old wanted nothing to do with it.(Many of the trailers made it out to be a little intense for the younger age bracket)
Long story short....
We all loved it, including my 8yr. old! All they talked about for the rest of the evening was the movie.
The special effects were great, and there were more funny scenes, than scary.
The only down side, it was a little long.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Pirates Life for Me
Review: I saw this movie last night, and I really enjoyed it. Good performances (Johnny Depp stands out), awesome special effects, cool fight scenes, Keira Knightley looking seriously hot. Overall an excellent summer blockbuster-type film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Plenty of humor, 5 stars
Review: Quality acting on Depp's,Rush's, and Bloom's parts! There were so many laugh out loud moments I plan on owning it! Don't expect this to flop in the theatres, I plan to see this another time:)

In my opinion, although the movie previews chill your bones, the movie is not so terrifying-it is hilariously scary in parts. There was so much adventure that just got better and better as the plot went on. I was energized and rearing to go after the movie was finished. You don't realise at the beginning that all the characters are integral to the plot- very smartly filmed, great special effects(skeletons) and an interesting and entertaining movie! See it and buy it! Best real pirate movie since "Yellowbeard" and "Shipwrecked"!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Being Disney's first above-PG rated movie, I was a little worried about how it was going to be... Disney and PG-13/R just don't mix. (And believe me, there IS a reason it's PG-13!) So I was just going to see Orli Bloom and *fanfare* Johnny Depp. I figured they at least would be good. I was NOT disappointed! Depp was particularly great as Captain Jack Sparrow - hilarious! Bloom was good too, though not quite as great as Depp. Geoffry Rush was also great as the villain (whose name I can't spell for the life of me...).

The movie itself was also great. It has a good, original plot, wonderful special effects, and well-choreographed fight sequences. Some of the fights and effects might be a bit too gruesome for younger kids, but that's why it's PG-13. Really, my only complaints are that some of the fight scenes lasted a tad too long, and the actress who played Elizabeth Swann (I can't remember her name) was a bit bland. It's not that she did badly, she just seemed rather dull when onscreen with some of the others. She just didn't shine quite as brightly.

All in all, the movie was great, my friend and I both left the theatre with huge grins on our faces (which is somewhat normal for me, but rare for her). We plan on seeing it again this weekend, and I highly recommend that others see it too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The critics are wrong
Review: Pirates is a must see especially if you are a Disneyland Buff. It is very well done (although it could have been a little shorter)and very funny. It is not really for small children especially if they get nightmares but for everyone else it is a lot of fun. If you have been on the ride at Disneyland then it will be fun to watch out for some of the rides attractions that have been incorporated into the movie. I plan to see it a couple of more times to see if there are any hidden Mickeys!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST MOVIE
Review: I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl the day after it came out. I was really intrigued by the ads, and Orlando Bloom is hot! This movie was soooo much more than i expected. The acting was awesome, and even though you actually have to think to understand the plot, it is incredibly developed. The movie may have been long, but it draws you so deeply into its world that you barely even notice it. And although the fight scenes are a little lengthy, they're not superflous like in some other movies: there is a clear-cut reason each battle is fought, and it actually advances the plot. Johnny Depp brings the comedy, Orlando Bloom brings the romance and the action, and the end result was a truly incredible film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Johnny Depp is the spark of this movie!
Review: My husband and I took our children, ages 13 and 11 to see "The Pirates of the Caribbean" two nights ago, and we are still talking about it. It is wonderful family fare for all but the littlest, as the pirates turn to scary skeletons in the moonlight, and there is a fair amount of violence. They are, after all, pirates!
Our children enjoyed linking the scenes in the movie to the various aspects of the DisneyWorld ride. They are easily recognizable, and quite funny.
Johnny Depp kept the character of Captain Jack Sparrow from being a sterotypical, "avast me hearty" type of pirate. His portrayal showed Captain Jack as dark, humorous, selfish, loyal,
dispicable, lovable and more... Johnny Depp is a master of creating memorable characters. Captain Jack stands well with Edward Scissorhands, Don Juan DeMarco, Ed Wood, Gilbert Grape.
This is Disney's summer between "Nemo" and "Pirates." I'm hoping for a "Pirates of the Caribbean II" as long as it includes Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. It was a good movie all the way around, with Depp as the true spark.
