Summary: One of the best movies of 2003.A must see for a pirate fan.
Review: This is one great movie.I absolutely love it. Johnny Depp is absolutely fantastic as Captain Jack Sparrow. He looks great and his acting is incredible. Im not gay or bisexual or anything but I must say I love the way he looks as that character and the movie is great just because of that character there is plenty of action,great acting and above all skeletons in this movie. I think its a must see.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Fun and Campy...
Review: As my title says, this movie is fun and campy...I was not expecting as much as i got. While this movie is hardly what i would call academy award winning (and while Jonny Depp played a wonderful pirate i do NOT think it was academy award worthy) it was exactly what it was cracked up to be. Fun.

This movie is fun from the beginning to the end, and doesn't pretend to be more than it is. They could have completely ruined this movie and tried to make it a serious film, but they didn't and it isn't. The plot moves along quickly and delivers wonderful twists and well-worn cliche's that we all still love.

I would buy this movie again and recommend it highly.

Summary: Don¿t monkey around with Aztec gold.
Review: Miss Elizabeth Swan as a child was intrigued with pirates. She has an opportunity to save one. In the process she pilfers what looks like a piece of pirate gold. This simple act will lead to death and destruction, or romance and intrigue.

This well paced movie has every cliché ever spoken in the classic pirate movies. It also has all the elements, gold, and sub-plots, and is sure to point them out to you should you miss one.

This is a well designed movie with attempts to be authentic in many ways such as using real pistols from the era. There are several crews and you will notice that the extras change from one scene to the next. They did not skimp on the actors either. As with pirate movies of old the main actors took the lion's share of the action.

Of course you will have your eye on Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), his cronies and adversaries. However I was surprised to see their good taste in giving Guy Siner the part of Harbormaster; you may remember him as Lieutenant Hubert Gruber in the series "Allo 'Allo!" (1982)

There are no bones about it, this is superior to other Depp movies and will leave a good after taste. You may need to see it several times to pick up the tightly packed scenes and dialog. I have viewed the duel DVD package and found instead of just rehashing the movie scenes that they give different insights that you may have missed in the first viewing. Even the deleted scenes allow you to see the way the movie could have went.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is Some Kind Of Fun!!!
Review: This DVD gets 4 stars because it's got great content, interesting commentary and is real fun to experience in 5.1 surround.

ONE COMPLAINT - the interactive PC stuff does not work with Mac. Otherwise, a great, fun, enjoyable DVD experience.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Johnny Depp - the Actor's Actor
Review: Johnny Depp is outstanding in this movie. The originality he brings to the role is amazing. He is different and funny at the same time. This movie would not be the same without him in the role. I was so glad he was nominated for an Oscar, he certainly deserved it.

Another thing that is great about this movie, is that it is one film both adults and children can watch together and both have a great time. A wonderful family film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The other big adventure movie of the year
Review: In all aspects Pirates of the Caribbean is a great movie. The cast, the plot, the editing, the special effects, and the script are all excellent and this results in the best pirate movie ever made. While this movie is not light, it does not take itself too seriously and instead revels in its quirks like Johnny Depp's mentally unbalanced portrayal of Cpt Jack Sparrow. I cannot say enough about Depp's performance. Depp is known as a great actor with a penchant for taking offbeat roles making Sparrow the perfect role for him. Depp comfort on screen helps to make emerging actors like Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly even more magnetic and the result is a grand adventure tale with likable characters and fun occurences.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "I probably deserved that..."
Review: Wow - I can't remember the last time I liked a Disney Movie! But Pirates of the Caribbean is a delight from start to finish. It's epic, it's simple, you cheer the good guys you hiss the bad guys and you end up with a warm feeling in your stomach. And it's not just the rum...
It's nice to see Johnny Depp pick up a SAG award for his performance here - he truly is the glue that holds the movie together. He's immensely watchable, with the swaying and the weaving and the fleeting looks of puzzlement that scurry across his face. Fans of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas might perhaps notice certain similarities with the way he played Raoul Duke in that movie, but perhaps as hedonistic reprobates the characters are closer than they might at first appear. Geoffrey Rush is also damn good, and Jack Davenport hasn't been this convincing since "This Life" premiered. Don't worry Hollywood, you can still find Brits to be bad guys after all these years. Also fantastic is Mackenzie Crook, Gareth from the brilliant BBC series "The Office" (He was the one with the "independent" eye...). Playing with seamen in the Caribbean must be along way from Slough, but he handles it magnificently and, I have to say, made me quite proud.
I thought the plot bounced along rather well, the visuals and the special effects were awesome but not distracting, and I'd recommend the movie to anyone and everyone.
The DVD set is also really good, with a whole host of outtakes, deleted scenes, how-did-they-do-that? specials and even a video diary from one of the pirates.
Top notch!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Johnny Depp rocks!!!!!
Review: First off, being the thirteen year old girl that I am, Johnny Depp is totally hot, and Orlando Bloom isn't too bad looking himself. Good . Got that out of the way. This movie is about more than just hotness though. It is one of the best movies that Disney ever made. The special effects are dazzling, and you really feel like you are in the pirate ship yourself somewhere in the Caribbean. And Johnny Depp makes the perfect pirate. The acting is great. Disney considered replacing him, and they're probably thanking their lucky stars right now that they didn't or else the film just wouldn't be the same blockbuster that it was. Too bad it didn't win any Oscars on Sunday, stupid Lord of the Rings, every category that Pirates was nominated, so was LOTR and guess who won. Personally, I think the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney is one of the worst rides ever, blech, incredibly boring, but the same cannot be said for the movie, definitely one of my favorites
