Summary: Swashbuckling Fun
Review: This is a wonderful movie for anyone to watch. I was especially pleased with the absence of profanity (only 2 or 3 instances the entire movie). Captain Jack Sparrow is a pirate who passes himself off to be incredible stupid, but who in reality is the smartest pirate you will ever see. It was very interesting to me to watch his thought process throughout the movie. In addition, to Sparrow's antics there is the romance between Will and Elizabeth which is complicated by both Commodore Norington and Captain Barbossa.

Of all the supporting characters, my personal favorite is Panchetti who gives an eye-popping performance. He is fun to watch with all of his antics and they are just the right amount to enhance the story line but not detract from it.

I love the 2nd DVD that comes with this package. It has a wide variety of items that include Jerry Bruckheimer's still shots taken from the set, historical background information, deleted scenes (3 of which I think should have made it to the film), interactive areas if you can watch the DVD on your PC, and the original Disney special of the opening of the ride. I found it very interesting to watch the Disney special after watching the movie and seeing what all made it to the movie.

I have talked to people in all stages of life that love this movie: pre-teens, teens, young adults, adults and even senior citizens. If you are looking for something to appeal to a lot of people, this is it.

So, hang onto your bootstraps and be prepared for a thrill ride when you watch this movie.

Summary: Language track
Review: I understand that as the title said, Pirate of the caribbean at least they should include ENGLISH subtitles

Spanish is a must, that way they may sales a lot more to latin american public.

It is a pitty that we can't enjoy this movie because of lacking on common sense from the people that produce it.

I understand English, but there are people here at PR, that don't.

Summary: Wonderful Fun!!
Review: This movie if fun!! Everyone I know loves it (including me) from my 6 year old nephew to my 60-something father. The effects are stunning AND believable. The story is well-told, with a good plot and great acting! I could watch this movie over and over! This should be a definate addition to your video/DVD library. Good laughs, great suspense, wonderful sword-fights and big ships with cannons!! Fun, fun, fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Movie, Nice DVD Features
Review: While I did enjoy it a lot in the theater, I decided to actually buy this movie because of the promise of a boatload of DVD extras (and, well, also because it has Keira Knightley in it).

The extra features were not disappointing -- though the commentary with Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp gets boring, the commentary with Keira and Jack Davenport is funny, and I particularly liked the included documentary, the "fly on the set" feature (really cool if you're interested in how movies get made, like I am), and the "diary of a pirate."

Overall, Johnny Depp is fantastic, the movie is rousing and has a great soundtrack, and if you're hedging over whether to buy it, the DVD extras make it worthwhile. My only complaint? Not enough Keira Knightley (sigh).

Summary: Ahoy Matees!
Review: Upon the suggestion of my 11 year old neice, we purchased this DVD for our collection. It is her "all-time favorite movie." -I can see why!

As the movie starts out, we come to understand that the Governor's daughter is fascinated by pirates. They rescue a young boy from a burning pirate ship - the movie gives hints that he may be a pirate himself. This sets up the rest of the movie.

It is an easy to follow story of a pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow(Depp), on a mission to get his ship (The Black Pearl) back from a fellow pirate who committed mutany taking it away. This pirate and his crew also gained the curse of the undead. They are unable to be killed (as they are already "dead"!), and unable to taste food, feel things, etc. like normal humans. Very interesting - and the special effects are great! Depp has many good lines here!

I don't want to give it all away, so I will stop there! Hopefully I have peaked your interest enough to convince you to invest in this one.

It is not a "scary" movie, but I did have to explain some things to my 4 & 5 yr old daughters. (They also enjoyed the movie!) I recommend this movie to all ages! It is entertaining and keeps your interest throughout!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Pirates Life To See...
Review: This movie is excellent! The scenery, special effects, actors are all awesome. Johnny Dep was excellent in this movie. It was great to see scenes from the Disney ride incorporated into the movie too. We all laughed and nudged each other throughout the whole movie (that's from the ride!). I've just bought the movie. If you want a movie that is action packed, funny and very entertaining this is for you & the family. Check it out!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Larceny
Review: Depp steals this movie. You cannot take your eyes off this audacious performance. Orlando who? Fun for all, including the older kids.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Summer 2003's best movie
Review: I had not even finished watching this movie in the theatre (the first time) before I knew I'd be buying the DVD. Depp is brilliant, Bloom is engagingly earnest, Knightley is the perfect heroine, and Rush the quintessential villain. Plenty of both laughs and action, with just the right amount of romance.

DVD has some nice extras, and it's a movie one can easily watch again and again. Two thumbs way, way up!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Walt Diesny spinning in his grave!!!!!
Review: In the begging, all Diesny had has a little mouse on a sail boat and people loved. It was called "creativedy", somthing Diesney lost when Walt Diesny died. There is no creativedy in this garbage. All it is are pirates running aroung killing each other.
I can give this some credit for the action, but there is really no plot to this film. Johnny Deep is the only one who can act in this film. It's about pirates looking for gold so they can break a curse. Thats somthing a nine year old can come up with. The days Diesny had good idea's are long gone. This film is poorly(and I do mean poorly)based on a cool ride at Disney world. Not worth it.
