Summary: you have to watch this
Review: This is a fabulous movie, certianly deserving five stars. Johnny Depp is even more fabulous than ever (is that really possible!!!) and Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom make a smooth back-up and support for Depp's hilarious antics. Orlando Bloom has several difficult moments throughout the film, acting wise, but he pulls through, which is pretty good considering his costars. Keira Knightly makes a stunning debut, looking more beautiful and period appropriate than any hollywood starlet today. The story is very entertaining and exciting, even if it's not the most brilliant film of the year, and the musical score is absoluetly perfect. I reccomend this movie to anyone who is looking for a night of facinating and fabulous entertainment. Even you self-proclaimed disney-haters will love this movie, because it is a excellent example of the magic that a good movie can bring. I have seen Pirates three times in the theaters, and have pre-ordered the dvd. It is probably my favorite movie right now, and I am sure it will be one of my favorites of all time.

Summary: LEAVE THE FULLSCREEN FANS ALONE !!!!!
Review: Ok, I saw this movie in the theaters and it was great. But for all you widescreen, I mean short and narrow screen fans out there, what is your problem with full screen dvd releases and fans who prefer this format? If you like widescreen so much, fine, buy that format and enjoy it. What difference does it matter to you if there is a full screen version also available? Just don't buy it, and referring to people who actually like to see the movie on their whole screen and not 33% of it as ignorant fools who have no respect for cinema and should not be allowed near a DVD player is completely uncalled for. If someone likes a different format that you that's their own choice as it is yours to like widescreen. There are more impotant things in the world today to be concerned about than using personal attacks against those who prefer a different movie format that you. Grow up and get a life!! Thank you and good night.

Summary: Very good movie
Review: This is a very good movie. Let's get one thing straight, if you see this movie and do not like Johnny Depp's character, you most likely will really hate this movie. I give it 5 stars because I personally like all elements of this movie. It does have somewhat weak acting, and a pretty solid plot. But Captain Jack Sparrow is enough for me to give it 5 stars alone. If you don't like pirates don't see this movie. If you don't like half drunk people, don't see this movie. If you're looking for the best movie with the best plot, don't see this movie, because you will be disappointed and stupidly write a bad review about a great movie. It's a movie for good times, not to be taken seriously. Disney has produced another good title. It's not aimed to please only adults, so if you're looking to rip on the childish elements of the movie, you'll find them. So don't see it and shut up. And to whoever is mad about this only being in wide screen edition, screw you. You don't have to have a damn wide screen t.v. to enjoy widescreen movies. I don't have a widescreen t.v. and I'm enjoying the picture just fine, not some hacked off, fill up the screen crap.

Summary: An entertaining action film, and Johnny Depp at his funniest
Review: Every once in a while I'll see a film that succeeds almost 100% on the shoulders of one actor. This occurred with THE TERMINATOR with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK with Jack Nicholson. Now, with THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN that actor is Johnny Depp. His Captain Jack Sparrow is clearly a study in overacting. He moves his body almost constantly in every scene he is in, uses an accent that makes you wonder what he will say next, and displays that kind of self-appointed confidence of people who think they're the greatest but are just full of bs. Overacting usually doesn't work, especially in comedies. But think about what the result would be if Depp had played the character completely straight. The plot is an exericse in absolute silliness: Captain Sparrow's ship The Black Pearl was stolen from him in a mutiny by his first mate Barbarossa (Geoffrey Rush), who left Sparrow for dead on an island. The crew ended up with a curse that has made them immortal and turn into skeletons when the full moon hits their bodies. They kidnap a girl ( ) who is engaged to a Commodore but is clearly in love with William Turner (Orlando Bloom). Turner is determined to rescue the girl and enlists the help of Sparrow. Playing his character straight would have bored the audience. There is a good reason why. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN runs at two and a half hours, and has swordfights that are too many and too long. Because Barbarossa and his crew are immortal it is senseless to be fighting them off with just swords. Blowing them to pieces with cannons is more sensible, but as far as I can recall only one scene demonstrates this. Although the production design is absolutely splendid and the cinematography is breathtaking in the shots of the open sea, after a while all the swordplay and fighting become dull. It's so much better to see Johnny's overacting technique. It's immediately shown in his first scene where he arrives on shore in a boat that sinks right to the top of the mast. Watch his reaction when he walks onto the dock and is charged a fee. Depp's timing and accent cause a good laugh. He creates an even bigger laugh in a scene when he is looking in a town for a crew and comes across a couple of may or may not have been girlfriends of his. They make no secret of how they feel about him, which is funny enough. But Depp's response to them just makes it even funnier. Johnny Depp has always been an interesting actor. Like Jack Nicholson in so many of his films he makes you forget about the plot and just watch to see what he does next. Nicholson used both dialogue and physical movement to create that effect. Depp's technique is mostly dialogue and accent. In an interview he says he based his character on both Keith Richards and his favorite cartoon character: Pepe Le-Pew. I can believe that character. Like that famous cartoon skunk his Jack Sparrow is so full of himself. It's the funniest performance by Johnny Depp since ED WOOD.

Summary: Thank God that Disney did this in WIDESCREEN ONLY!
Review: Thumbs up to Disney for releasing this in widescreen only! Its about time a major studio stood up to alll the morons out there who think fullscreen is good. FULL SCREEN HACKS OFF HALF OF THE PICTURE! Widescreen preserves the picture as it was seen in theatres, and as was intended by the directoor. Great dvd release. Keep the widescreen-only titles coming.
