Summary: Could have been better anyway
Review: Well this is a nice movie with nice characters as Disney is able to create. For sure there are two sexy actors in this movie Bloom and Depp. But Depp is the only one who really leads the story. His characters is amazing, unexpected whereas the other ones are a little bit tasteless. Besides, the CGI seems they were made 2 years ago for some PS2 video games. So what was I saying ? Yes this is a not a bad movie after all : great actors, nice landscapes, good music; but if you take Depp and Bloom away well it's just a movie.
I hope the next chapter will give us a better show and such theme has the potential to do so.

Summary: Johnny Depp puts the "A" in androgyny...
Review: What might have otherwise been an above average Disney film is made into a 5 star effort by the performance given by Johnny Depp, as Jack Sparrow - pirate captain and general scalawag. By virtue of his performance, Depp makes everyone else in the movie play to him, enhancing their own roles. Geoffrey Rush shines (again!) as his arch-enemy, who mutinied against Sparrow and took his ship.Sparrow aligns himself with a mismatched young couple (Knightley and Bloom) and leads them into pirate adventure. Depp's makeup and costume, and his affectations draw the camera like a magnet. Disney added wondrous locations, beautiful props and costumes and a soaring, perfectly matched musical score. The "cameo shots" from Disney's theme park ride are a nice bit of whimsy... Without a doubt the most entertaining movie of the summer, "Pirates" is first-rate. Depp will deserve nominations from all the major awards shows, but is unlikely to be recognized. Like Jack Nicholson, however, he remains truly one of our greatest character actors, and his memory will remain long after others' Oscars have tarnished. Don't postpone seeing it until the DVD! It deserves your immediate attention!

Summary: Tooo Much Fun (and a note about a TV treat you need to see)
Review: Captain Blood (Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, 1935) is my favorite film of all time. POTC gives a nod to those great old pirate films, but makes it a heck of a lot more fun. Johnny Depp is absolutely hysterical, and as reported in just about every review before mine, Orlando Bloom is a doll, but then we already knew that, or wasn't anyone paying attention during Lord of the Rings? Keira is just the right mix of spunk and femininity, and she's so pretty I can't stand her. Plus she gets to cuddle Johnny and kiss Orlando. Aaarrgghh!!
The special effects were great, kudos to the costume dept., and a special thank you to the writers, director and producer who were smart enough to give Johnny free rein to create a Jack Sparrow that is way too much fun, and along the way make the most entertaining film I have seen in... well, I can't remember when. Thank God the pirate genre is back! (When can we expect the sequel??) About the TV treat... while Jack Davenport may have played a handsome albeit somewhat buttoned-up Commodore Norrington, for those of you have digital cable and get BBC America, you HAVE to catch him in Coupling, which is on Friday and Sunday nights and is the most hysterical TV show I've seen in years. I've had trouble catching my breath I'm laughing so hard with this one, so you might want to keep some oxygen handy. But put the kiddies to bed first, this one is for grown-ups only, because there is only one subject matter in this show! You definitely won't think of him as stuffy after watching this. :-)

Summary: Don't Wait, See It Now
Review: This was probably the best movie I've seen in some time. It was a movie that held my attention so well I couldn't believe it was over two hours long. Not hearing foul language in every line was especially pleasing. The special effects and amount of action throughout was very impressive. I will add this DVD to my collection for sure.

Summary: I want to see it again
Review: This is one of the few movies that I have heard my wife say that she would like to see at the theater again. She is usually very happy to wait for movies to come out on video; but this movie is an experience that she enjoyed so much, that she wants to go again. She especially enjoyed Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. I enjoyed the sword fights, which I would put on par with the sword fight in "The Princess Bride" (Maybe even a little better for the fight in the smithy). The effects were very well done as well. On the whole, it was a good, fun adventure.

Summary: A Very Good Movie! Romance, humor, and a TON of action!
Review: I recently saw Pirates of the Carribean, and while its no Lord of the Rings, it was definantly worth the [$] dollars I paid to see it. Here's what I thought of Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl, starring Orlando Bloom. 1) Story: Excellent! The movie had an excellent plot. The story revolves around a cursed ship called the Black Pearl, and it's crew of Pirates, bent on finding every last piece of Aztec Gold! The story begins with a young girl named Elizabeth Swan, who has a powerful father (the governor of England). They live a life of luxery, under the protection of the British Navy. She is young, beautiful, and weary of someone to love her. Yet the only person she really cares for is a young Blacksmith, Will Turner (played by Orlando Bloom). A few days later, the island is raided by the legendary Pirates, aboard the Black Pearl. Yet they are after only one thing: the last piece of Aztec Gold, and the blood of the one who has it! They take Elizabeth (the one who had it), and head away to end the horrible curse. Will, knowing that Elizabeth's life depends on his actions, decides to go after her! Yet the only person who knows where the Black Pearl is headed, and is skilled enough to catch it, is the heroic Jack Sparrow. Together, these 2 unlikely people are paired together, to save Elizabeth, get some gold, and live the life we've all dreamed of...to live a Pirates Life at Sea! Belive me, the story gets much more complicated as you head in, and to go any deeper would give away the plot. Excellent story! 2) Acting: The Acting is done to perfection, with the griddy and crude Pirates, the Proud Military, and the true love shared by Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan. And there is no one like Jack Sparrow, as Johny Depp plays the role to perfection. A crazy, yet heroic Pirate, who has his own reasons for going after the Black Pearl. Orlando Bloom plays another incredible role as Will Turner, as he is once again the quiet, kind, and caring hero that was played so well in Lord of the Rings (Legolas the Elf in case you've been under a rock). Great acting, great story, great movie! 3) Scenary: Perfect! What can I say, Disney did incredible. You really got the feeling of a sixteenth century world, the freedom, the danger, and the true wild sense of life. Everything was great, the scenary included. The costumes were excellent, the ship was better than average, and the towns were done about as well as you could think possible. A great movie, nothing holding back here. Overall, this was an excellent movie. It had a great plot, acting, scenary, and overall depth that you don't see in most movies. It was believable, funny, and really drew you in to this world. It had an excellent plot, it had you cheering and caring about the characters, and like so few movies ever do, you really felt like the characters were living breathing people, and that a real sword battle could be going on somewhere in the Carribean as you were watching. Great movie, definatly worth you six bucks at the Theater. If you like action-packed romance (example: Spider-man), this is a must-see movie. This film grossed over Two-hundred Million Dollars for a reason. It was funny, action packed, and really drew you in. 5 stars! Definantly reccomended* Thx!

Summary: Errol Flynn would be proud!
Review: Greatest pirate film since "Captain Blood"! Johnny Depp does an outstanding job and Orlando Bloom looks very much like and almost acts slightly like a young Errol Flynn. Keira Knightly is absolutey the most beautiful heroin you could ask for in an adventure film! What more could you want! There are some parts that make you think "that can't happen", but the film is so much stinkin' fun you won't care.

Summary: The BEST movie I've ever seen!
Review: Incredable!
I hate to say it but when I saw the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean I was really uninspired. I really didnt think I would enjoy it at all. I wasn't a fan of Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom. I'm not someone who generally likes Disney movies. I find them a little predictable and much too moral and pointless. I am also not a great fan of pirate movies. My friend did drag me to the cinema purely because she wanted to see Orlando Bloom. I sat down and laughed from the opening scene to the final cedits.It was an incredable movie.
Cap'n Jack Sparrow, the lovable rogue, was hysterical.
Orlando Bloom was good in his role as Will Turner, blacksith and pirates son, however I found his character much to righteous, ethical and typically Disney. I believe that casting Johnny Depp in th role of Cap'n Jack Sparrow saved this movie from be just another archetypal Disney movie. His performance was inspiring and comical. I definately give Pirates of the Caribbean 2 thumbs up... go see! Savvy!?!
