Summary: Cool movie, but lack special features
Review: It's huge surprise on the movie is so cool to watch it. Lot of fun and action. Some scary, of course.

Sadly, this movie isn't great to keep for hearing impaired. Because there is no SUBTITLE or CLOSED CAPTION available on special feature. BIGGER DISAAPOINTMENT from Walt Disney.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A surprise hit
Review: Imagine for a moment what this movie would be like without Johnny Depp. The plot is a stream-of-consciousness mess of swordfights, shipwrecks, and skeletons. The special effects are critic-proof cheesy --- when they look bad, they're just right for the tone of the film. When they look good, they look good. (The ships, in particular, look great.) The other actors do a predictable but entertaining job as they talk about love and death and the importance of treasure. It's fun because it's so loose, but there isn't a moment when you think "I'm watching a classic here." This is a modern day B movie.

But Johnny Depp raises it to another level. His slurred speech, make-up, and costume are so over-the-top, he seems to be satirizing pirates while playing one. Depp is having fun, not taking one bit of this seriously, and the audience is in on the joke. If you ever want to make a point to someone about the importance of casting, just mention this movie. Without Johnny Depp, it would have sunk at the box office. With Johnny Depp, it became an accidental blockbuster, and with good reason: it's genuinely fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who isn't addicted?
Review: This is the movie highlight of 2003 summer movies! Pirates of the Carribean, based on the Dineyland ride delivers a great story and an all-star cast ensemble!
Johnny Depp *sigh* as Captain Jack Sparrow is funny, witty, an a cool smart alec is the best pirate i've ever seen!
Orlando Bloom *sigh* as Willam Turner is the sexiest guy in the movie!
you'll totally love this movie! with the chick from Bend It Like Beckham plays Elizabeth, William Turner's boo, is lovlier than ever and knows how to kick cursed pirate's a$$! in addition to the action, and humor, you'll especially love Jack... not just Johnny Depp's "Jack", the monkey!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl
Review: Not having been to Disney Land for 40 years , I couldn't tell you how the movie stands up to the E ticket ride. The movie has a fast pace, is entertaining, and Johnny Depp's portrayal of the swishing, fashion conscious, pirate captain was fun.
The producers were a bit worried about Depp's potrayal of his character. Depp told them that they could fire him if he couldn't portray the character as he saw fit.
I would actually rate the extra features higher than the actual movie. There is so much information including interactive exploring of a pirate ship, entertaining factual information on life as a pirate, etc. Like most of Disney's productions, Pirates is well made, and entertaining.

Summary: Savy?
Review: The Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the best movies I have seen yet. This movie keeps you entertained throughout it's entire duration. From the witty comments and brain teasers that are given by Jack Sparrow, otherwise known as johnny Depp, to the exciting fight scenes, you are completely enthrawled in this movie. Even if you are not satisfied with the film, you still can find a couple of key parts that are entertaining for you.
The first scene is very catchy for the viewers. The way they started it out, with the little girl finding the medallion on the boy, and then seeing the destruction of the pirates and their ship sailing away. It makes you yearn for the rest of the movie, to be able to know what else is to become of the children and also for when you will see that ghostly ship of the pirates once more. Then they cut strait to Jack Sparrow riding in on his sinking ship. The look of confidence and strong will made me excited to watch the every move of his character and film work.
Throughout the rest of the movie you are taken through many emotional, personal, and physical battles. All the action keeps your eyes moving and your brain focused on what is happening. You never get bored during this film because after every scene, you are left waiting eagerly for the next one and wondering what daft Jack Sparrow will do next. The different ventures and quarrels are so exciting that you know you can always expect something great is to come.
The ending is probably the most amazing part of the entire movie. The fight scene, the plot and plan of Jack Sparrow that unravels through out the movie. It throws you off guard when you see it. You find out that some pirates can actually be great men and good people. You see friendships made and rules bent. You see fights and quarrels of long times brought to an end. The ending makes you want more as you watch it come to the movies end.
In conclusion, if you haven't seen this movie or think that you would not like it, you should see it anyways. The colors and different artistic things catch your eye. You are entertained during the movie, no matter what. I saw this movie twice in theaters and twice since it has been released on DVD. I can almost gaurantee that you will be satisfied.

Summary: AWESOME
Review: This movie is soo awesome!! Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are really good together. When the Pirate skelotons come on it's like a thrill ride. I took my 8 year old brother two see it and he loved it, it is deffinetly a movie for all ages, and it makes being a pirate sound like soo much fun! If you havn't seen it you really really should!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Swashbuckling fun!
Review: Who would expect that a movie based on a ride at Disney World would make a good movie. It could've been terrible if it wasn't done right. It was done right though, has a great cast, good direction, nice special effects and great action. The script is just a little weak though. With lesser actors this movie might not have worked. I do see that's it's a little silly to have sword fight after sword fight with pirates that can't be killed though. I guess they think if they cut off enough limbs they won't be able to fight back anymore.

Johny Depp is so much fun that it's easy to over-look that it's silly to fight un-dead pirates. His character and performance could've made even Cuthroat Island a good movie. Hell maybe even Muppet Treasure Island lol. His character is odd and totally original. He's an excellent actor don't know he has never been nominated. He adds much needed wit to the movie as does Geoffrey Rush as the cursed villain. Orlando Bloom (Lord of the Rings) and Keira Knightley play it straight but are still strong in their roles. Orlanda Bloom is well on his way to being a big action star. Too bad he wasn't around in 1991 because he would've made a better Robin Hood than Kevin Costner. I hear their might be sequels, as long as Johny Depp comes back as Captain Jack Sparrow...I say bring them on. As for making more movies based on Disney rides. I don't think we really need Space Mountain the movie lol. They're lucky that Pirates of the Carribean even turned out to be good but that's because it had a good cast and direction.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Wide Screen Only
Review: After seeing the movie Pirates of the Caribbean in a movie theater I vowed to purchase it on DVD as soon as it was released. The big day came and I was one of the first in line to buy the new DVD. Problem was it was only available in wide screen format. Apparently I am still probably one of the only individuals in the US with a regular TV set, not a wide screen. I purchased the DVD anyway despite the annoying black lines on the top and bottom of my TV. The movie was so much fun that I was willing to watch it on my 32 inch screen even if it ment I could only view a 12 inch strip of it accross my regular TV. Problem was when I tried playing the bonus features on my computer. Even though I have a new computer with Windows XP, I still couldn't access the virtual features on the DVD. Conclusion: I'm highly dissapointed that such a wonderful film was marketed in such an awkward format.
