Summary: Out Of Context....
Review: "It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful."
......
Johnny Depp has NEVER been afraid to voice his opinion. Thus, when he says something that angers someone, he does not apologize- UNLESS, what he said was grossly misquoted. He does not APOLOGIZE for things he says, when it is properly quoted. His statement to Stern, the German magazine, which is Germany's equivilent of the USA's National Enquirer and other disreputable rag's, was horribly taken out of context. No surprise considering the source.
Johnny's rebutle, above, was issued, not as an apology, but as a correction. Since he never does something like that when he is properly stated, you can be sure, what Stern said, WAS horribly inaccurate.
So, all of you who think Johnny un-american, you need to get yourself a girl mate!!

Summary: what absolute fun for all ages!
Review: I've been 7 times and counting. Absolutely the most fun I've been willing to pay for since I started riding roller coasters 35 years ago! I'm still not quite sure the moon phase is accurate, but I keep getting so caught up in the action that after 6 times consciously trying to count script days and compare to moon footage, I'm still not sure. ....and who IS
the real father, prithe. NOT for young audiences; they'll get bloody awful nightmares.

Summary: Jack Sparrow to the rescue
Review: I love this movie! I can't put into words how amazing this film is. The only way to describe it is entertaining from beginning to end. I have seen it eight times in theaters and I can't wait to buy it. Johnny Depp can only be described as unbelievable. He's gorgeous (yes even with all the grime and eye shadow), and the funniest character I have ever watched. Don't miss this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: yo-ho-ho and buckets of fun!!!!!
Review: Bursting with wit and constantly poking fun at itself, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is the surprise hit of the summer!!! The cast is to die for.

The plot concerns a bunch of cursed pirates led by Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) who are looking to undo their curse, which has made them undead, and therefor unable to enjoy food, water, or anything to do with the senses. To undo the curse, they believe they have to capture the governer's daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightly) and use her special possesion of an ancient peice of gold she recieved when she was young (can't give too much of the plot away. The young Blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) who is in love with Elizabeth uses the help of the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) to help him find her. Captian Sparrow however, has other motives which unfold in the plot later on.

Geoffrey Rush makes a fantastic pirate. You can tell he is having loads of fun and masters every line he is given. You almost feel sorry for his ruthless villian at one point.
There was alot of hype about young Keira Knightly before this movie came out. She is supposed to be the new "It" girl in hollywood. Quite frankly, I found I was a bit dissapointed. Sure she does look nice in a corset, but I never felt for her character, and in fact, whenever she was on screen I wished the story would jump back to Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom's section of the story.

Orlando Bloom was not given as juicy a part as the rest. He had to deal with playing the sort of square romantic lead, but handled it admirably. I am looking forward to what he will do in the future with more gritty material. He is incredibly charming and you can't help but love him.
Now then, to the Holy Grail of the movie and one of the most originally played recent movie roles in cinema...Captian Jack Sparrow. He is constantly drunk (or just loony), you get the feeling from his various slaps in the face that he does not treat women with great amounts of respect...but you fall for him instantly. Johnny Depp is the best actor of his generation, period. I heard from several sources that the character in the script was not written the way he performed it. Johnny Depp took it upon himself to create this outstanding 17th century rock-star fellow. Sparrow just oozes with this strange feline presence and an even stranger sex-appeal.

The only complaint people have about the movie is that it runs a tad bit long, which is true. 2 hours and 15 minutes is a bit long for a pirate movie, but then again, this isnt your average pirate movie.
Rated PG-13 for some scary moments and fight scenes.
There is no bothersome blood or gore, this movie would really be fine for most children (none ofthe children in the theaters were bothered). Lots of skeletons, but thats about it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: YO-HO-HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM...
Review: I originally went to see this film most reluctantly. In fact, the only reason I went to see it at all was because my sister wanted to see it, and it was her birthday. So, how could I not? Well, am I ever glad I did! It was a most enjoyable experience. While the film is long, running nearly two and a half hours, it did not seem so, as it is a fun filled, action packed delight that is sure to entertain people of all ages.

The story revolves around pirates with Johnny Depp in the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. He is a pirate who has lost his ship, The Black Pearl, to his arch enemy, the wily Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who led a mutiny against Sparrow. Unfortunately for Captain Barbossa, he and the mutineering crew commandeered some valuable booty that carried with it a curse that turned the ship and all aboard into a ghost ship, damned for all eternity, unless the booty is returned in its entirety to its rightful place. Therein, lies the tale.

Captain Sparrow, desperate to recover his ship, ends up on an island where his antics bring him in contact with the Governor's beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley), and the local blacksmith, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), who is in love with the delectable Ms. Swan. Before you know it, they all end up together in a rollicking adventure on the high seas.

Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightley turn in smart, top of the line performances, as does Jonathan Pryce, as the island Governor. Orlando Bloom also gives an excellent performance, though I found him decidedly unattractive in this film, thin lipped and sallow. It is Johnny Depp, however, who steals the show, a drolly funny and totally delightful scamp. Notwithstanding the fact that he has the best lines, Depp infuses the film with an infectiousness that is hard to resist. He literally makes the film.

The special effects are spectacular and the film provides fun for the whole family, though given the special effects, it is probably wise to leave those who are five and under at home. Everyone else is sure to enjoy this fun filled, fast paced film. It has something for everyone with just enough action, romance, and humor to keep viewers entertained.

Summary: fantastic
Review: This is by far the best movie i've ever seen.The acting was great,Johnny Depp performed some of the greatest acting i've ever seen.
Orlando Bloom's character was not quite as developed as Johnny Depps,but nontheless,he was great.
Keira Knightly was perfect for the part she played,she had some wimpy screaming moments,but otherwise she was great.
Geoffrey Rush was brillient.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!!!
Review: I've seen this movie 2 times in theater already and may go again, when I can!!! At first, I thought it was going to be a boring, dumb movie but boy was I wrong!!!! Its funny and entertaining! Usually I dont watch Pirate movies, but this one def. blew me away!! The actors such as Orlando Bloom (VERY talented), Johnny Depp (impressive as well, been awhile since Ive seen him in a movie), Kiera Knightley (another great actress and whom I'll keep watching her in other movies!) and the rest of the cast. I liked how the special effects are used. The moonlight scene - flesh to skeleton. All in all, I really enjoyed this movie and definitely going to watch many more times!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is absolutely the best movie of the summer, and one of the best movies I have ever seen for that matter. Johnny Depp is FANTASTIC- as always, he completes submerges himself in his character, and it makes the movie fantastic. Geoffery Rush always does a wonderful job- he is absolutely amazing in this movie. The movie is just awesome- there's nothing really else to say. I've seen it 8 times, and I can't wait until December!
