Summary: Amazing Cinematography, Lots of DVD Bonuses
Review: Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is a pirate captain without a ship ... or a crew. However, he seems to keep finding both as he helps solve the mystery of the ghost ship the Black Pearl and its cursed crew, helps one man discover the pirate within him and helps the beautiful Governor's daughter affirm her love for pirates. This is a very good swashbuckler with no anachronistic details to deter you from a good time (except for the obvious caste difference in the romance department). Swashbucklers and historical sticklers will like this universally. The DVD also has lots and lots of bonus features that are great. Be sure to watch the deleted scenes. There are tons of them and some really should have been left in. The bloopers are also good. It is hard to believe that this is the same Johnny Depp that was in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I believe that he has gotten younger and his mannerisms ... you'll just have to see it for yourself.

Summary: THE BEST PIRATE MOVIE!
Review: Now that is a movie I have been waiting for for so long. I was hoping that Treasure Island the movie redone, you know with a new look (Not the Muppet Movie =) ). However, POTC is movie that I enjoyed all the way from the begining to the end. Johnny Depp always does a great performance in his movies, and ofcourse Geoffrey Rush was equally Great in that particular movie. 5*s is does not do this movie justice. Nawaf

Summary: Over rated
Review: Not much fun really. Counted many editing flaws and must simply say, this movie is fluff for those who love Disney. Depp is without doubt one of my favorite actors, but this was not close to his finest moment. I really wanted to like this film, but alas, it is severely flawed and causes to much strain on the brain.

Summary: VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE, DEPP IS OUTSTANDING
Review: After having been to the Pirates ride as a child, I was very pleasantly suprised by the movie. It does an outstanding job of creating the scenery and ambiance of what, in my mind, the real pirates would be like. Of course it is a bit picturesque, but that is exactly what the ride is like and the movie, as a spin off from the ride at Disney, achieves its aim well. Depp is very good as Jack Sparrow, the shipless captain. Depp plays a rocker type pirate, kind of a modern version of what a true good hearted pirate would be like. On the other side, the cursed crew of the Black Pearl ship, which were condemned to eternal damnation in search of a stolen treasure. Nevermind the usual good vs evil clichés, but Depp is smart and convincing as the good pirate, while Geoffrey Rush is very good as the evil Capt Barbossa. The special effects are also a highlight, especially of the undead pirates' images. Overall it is a fun movie, especially for the scenes that resemble (sometimes exactly trace) the images from the ride at Disney. For example, there is a scene of Depp in prison trying to lure a dog to give him the key to his cell for a bone. I recommend it as a light fun movie, with a feel good positive message in the end.

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: I cannot praise this movie enough. This is without a doubt not only the best movie of the year, but probably the best movie I've ever seen. I first saw the promos for it on TV, and I didn't hold high hopes for a pirate movie based on a ride in Disney World. I WAS SO WRONG. I have lost track of how many times I have seen this movie, mostly thanks to Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp's performance is unique, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining. I love it. Because of this movie he has a new fan, and I would have to guess I'm not the only one. His charater, Jack Sparrow, is my favorite movie character ever. Orlando Bloom portrays the role of Will Turner marvelously, and you can literally watch him transform as his character makes a switch from humble blacksmith to pirate. Keira Knightley is a wonderful actress, she plays the role of Elizabeth almost flawlessly. Also, this movie has the best fight scene ever, a sword fight between Jack Sparrow and Will Turner in the blacksmith shop. I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. Johhny Depp's performance will have you laughing the whole movie, the action will keep you on the edge of your seat, and the plotline will have you guessing until the end. If you haven't seen this movie, you are so missing out!

Review: Further proof that the mainstream is always wrong. This is a predictable, poorly-written, over-acted pile of crap that should insult the intelligence of any thinking person.

Summary: Nice Eyeliner
Review: Memo to Disney Studios: If you're going to try to create a "lovable rogue" for an action/adventure movie, at least make him look like he's not on his way to a Revlon commercial. In watching Johnny Depp prance and frolic through PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN I wasn't sure if I was watching a swashbuckler or the next segment of "Martha Stewart Living." I didn't know if the next sword fight would devolve into another rendition of Rocky Horror's "Let's Do the Time Warp Again," or if Depp's character would magically morph into the latest manifestation of Divine (with braided goatee, of course). Yes, this movie has action, special effects, witty barbs, but to what end? The characters are as one-dimensional as the robots on the Disney ride of the same name, and after the first fifteen minutes or so the mayhem and disarray become tiring. And yes, Virginia, there is a plot, but it's as invisible as the air we breathe. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN also stars a wooden Orlando Bloom (sans the Legolas blonde hair) and a nefarious Geoffrey Rush. The makeup sure looked better on Keira Knightley than it did on Depp, but what's a silly pirate boy to do? "Yo ho, yo ho, a blush of rouge for me!"

Summary: STUPENDOUS - DESERVES AN ACADEMY AWARD
Review: My 15 year old told me to watch this. I said OK to please her. I was transfixed. This is a tremedous viewing experience. The story holds your attention the whole time and it is very creative. Like a mystery that surprises at every turn. Johnny Depp is absolutely charming. I can't say enough about his performance. He should win an award for this. People should buy this just to watch him. One of the best, absolutely best , perfomances by an actor I have ever seen. The effects are astonishing, but tasteful. The effects added to the story, not just effects for shock value. The acting is first rate. Children can see this movie, because there isn't one word or situation that is offensive to children. A great movie without the usual dirt. What a gift. The whole family can see this. However, it isn't a kids movie. The story is very intricate and I never moved from the TV. I will repeat. I never said a word or looked away from the screen. My daughter asked me if I was alright. That is how still and fascinated I was. Buy this right now!!!!!!!!
