Summary: pirates of disneyland
Review: this movie is for kids, people with kids & people with kiddy minds. I heard it was good, but i almost throw up at shallowness of the film. It is true to alot of disney stuff that we all somehow have imprinted on all our minds. But that is what disney rides on, it's too much fluff for me. johnny depp has a drunk accent threw the whole movie. that's good acting? anyway don't mean to be so negative in a sea of smiles, but I just watched Hulk, & Matrix reloaded & those got mediocre revies & I thought they had alot better graphics & there was better storyline. this is fluff. if that's what you want then it's good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I rented this movie and watched it 5 times. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! I didn't know what it would be like so when I saw it I was pretty surprised! But this movie is no doubt one of the best movies of the year! My favorite character is Jack Sparrow (I think Johnny Depp did a REALLY good job).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reliving the golden age of film, only funnier!
Review: The epic tales of pirates and wars and the Bible (not usually in the same movie) had been lost to Hollywood for quite some time. Extras were no longer cheap and technology wasn't able to take their place yet.

Luckily, in the past ten years, Hollywood has developed ways to puch the envelope by making things possible which were never possible before.

Excellent special effects, in credibly witty humor and a flair for the golden age of film make this one a winner!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not quite what I expected
Review: I've never been to Disneyland, so I knew nothing about this previously. Never even knew it was a Disney movie, so with that in mind it may not be what you expect. Surprisingly good acting, great action, sets, effects, but the end gets cheesy, Disneylike. If it wasn't for that, it could have been a box-office smash. "No, he's a pirate"...line really made me cringe. Cheesy, but very entertaining. Debateable if it's something for the kids though. Some disturbing scenes for the young tots.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good DVD Set
Review: This movie was magnificent. It is truly one of the best movies of the year. It will keep you on the edge of your seat with excitment. I have quite a bit of DVDs and this 2 disc set is worth all the money. Unlike other 2 disc sets that really have nothing special on the 2nd disc (Sherk, Harry Potter) this one has hours of extra footage and deleted scenes.This is a must buy for any movie fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action, Humor, Adventure and not over done!!
Review: What a great movie! All of the important elements of filmmaking were brought together for this one: Action, Humor, Adventure, Storyline and Cinematography! Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are awesome as the swashbuckling male leads; Keira Knightley brings strong will and beauty to the female lead.

There are so many high points in this film, it's unusual. From Johnny Depp riding his sinking boat into the harbor at that beginning to "the pirate gets the girl", this is a movie for all the family. It's a feel good movie that keeps your attention easily.

Johnny Depp needs to be considered for an Oscar for his performance as Captain Jack Sparrow. I'm not sure if he win with the likes of The Last Samauri, etc....he needs to be nominated at the very least! Viva Pirates!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie Ever!
Review: This has to be the best movie I've ever seen. My whole family likes it, which is very rare, and me and my friends have a competition going on who can see it the most times (I'm in second place with 5)! I got this DVD the day it came out, and watched 3 times within a week. Johnny Depp is hilarious, and Orlando Bloom is amazing with a sword. If you like the ride, and even if you hate it or have never been on it, you'll love this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great acting jobs!
Review: The very hansome Orlando Bloom ( who played William Turner) did a fantastic job. I saw the movie many times and his talent never failed to amaze me. His talent almost was equal to the very experienced, Jhonny Depp who also did a wonderful job in his inturpetation of Jack Sparrow. I dont think that there is anyone else in the world who could have made the chessy humor in the movie work; yes, i did say chessy. Altough i did enjoy the movie emensley it would have been a little better if they had toned down on the jokes and mad the more elaberate.
I found that many critics hated the movie and those who liked it where amazed that a movie about Pirates actually worked out. When i went to but the movie the store was sold out because they where not pepared to meet the demands of the many customers out to buy the very entertaning movie. So all i really have to say is without the wonderful acting jobs the movie would not have even made it to the theater.

Summary: 15 MEN ON A DEAD MAN'S CHEST???
Review: The ever BRILLIANT JOHNNY DEPP infuses this quirky character with such joie-de-vivre it is hard to imagine that this is the only time we'll be so spectacularly entertained. Kind of a Douglas Fairbanks Sr. clone complete with the "Thief of Baghdad" headscarf ~ but what a fun ride - and the make-up - and the accent - perfect fusion - and should get a nod from the Academy!

The rest [are there any?] of course - Orlando Bloom as the lithe love-stricken pup reeks of Errol Flynn's joyful persona - complete with the mini Van Dyke!

Kiera Knightley somewhat Maureen O'Haraish brings the required beauty [wow!] and charm to this feisty role of a lass choosing parters between the caste control of that period.

There's also a grubby Geoffrey Rush as the villian - nice, nice - and Jonathan Pryce as the benign Govenor.

Splendid direction from Gore Verbinski [The Ring, MouseHunt, etc.] never disappoints - also a great swash-bucking score!

Stirring - more please!

Now - just where's Burt Lancaster and the CRIMSON PIRATE?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is probably one of the most fun and exciting films of the year. I was hesitant to see this film. It's just not the type of films I usually enjoy, but after all the hype I had to see it. I absolutely loved it. Johnny Depp makes this film. He is so funny and likeable creating one of the best characters in recent movie history. Keira Knightly also does a great job. She turns in a sexy, fiery, and fun performance as Elizabeth. Orlando Bloom makes the most of his supporting role, but it's Johnny who steals the show from everyone. The special effects are nothing like I have ever seen. Brilliant! When the pirates turn into walking skeletons, it will amaze you. Pay special attention to the final fight scene between Johhny Depp and Geoffrey Rush. I was amazed at how well the effects came across and did not look fake at all. I highly recommend seeing this film. It does not disappoint and lives up to all the hype.
