Summary: No limit to the number of times I could watch this movie!
Review: This is one of those movies that you can just sit and watch over and over again and never get board of it! I watched it three times the first night!My wife bought the DVD and made me sit down and watch it with her. I fully expected to hate it (or at least be bored to death with corny slapstick and bad acting)
Five seconds into it, I was so engrossed I forgot who made it and forgot there was someone else in the room watching it with me. Some interesting points:
1) I didn't notice until about the fifth time I watched it, but there was no cursing in it. They weren't trying to dance around adult language by substituting in stuff that would keep it from getting an R rating...The movie just didn't need it.
2) The special effects were amazing! They weren't dulled down and cartoonish to keep from scaring the kids, and the transitions when the pirates moved in and out of the moonlight were better than anything I've ever seen. I could go scene by scene giving examples of all the amazing aspects of this movie, but I suggest you just start with the first one, you'll be hooked.

Summary: Johnny Depp's Now My Favorite Actor
Review: Yes, it's true. Ever since I saw Pirates of the Carribean my view of Johnny Depp has changed. He's returned to a movie that many have seen and if you haven't seen it--it's a must. Special effects make the worst pirate pop out of the screen! It's a film packed with action, special effects, laughter, romance, friendship and adventure: all the theatre elements needed to make a good movie like Pirates of the Carribean.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: This movie is one of my all time favorites that Johnny Depp has played in. This movie is full of adventure and is also funny. If your a fan of Orlando Bloom (like myself) you would love this movie!!!

Summary: Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush
Review: Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush made this film. Captain Jack Sparrow was the most flamboyant pirate I have ever seen. I never tire of Johnny Depp's performance. And I could feel Captain Barbosa's longing for feeling, the taste of food, the desire for life. His longing was exquisite. This is one of those movies I can watch over and over again.

Summary: "You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?"
Review: Gore Verbinski's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a wonder of production design. The props, sets, and costumes all look wonderful. However, the film sinks because of uninspired directing and logic errors in the story that annoyingly grate on your mind. In the end, this production stands exposed for what it really is - a shallow marketing tool created for the sole purpose of attracting more people to the Disney theme parks. A bitter rivalry between Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) is re-ignited when the two men cross paths once again. Barbossa is desperately trying to lift an ancient curse that has condemned him and his crew to continue living as undead pirates. He has discovered that the key to ending the curse is a young man named Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), but naturally Sparrow does not want to make matters easy for Barbossa so he decides to aid the youth. A grand battle then erupts when the Royal Navy, in search of the missing Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), engages the cursed crew while Sparrow and Barbossa face-off for the last time. "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is another example of a film that is a slave to its special effects. Its visuals look spectacular and lush on the big screen. Especially impressive are all of the moments in which the cursed crew come into contact with moonlight. Yet, there is only a skeleton of a story to connect all the big special effects-laden sequences together. One gets the feeling that all of the action scenes in this film were storyboarded first and plot elements to link them together were added after the fact. Depp and Rush perform admirably in their roles and are the only two performers who are able to do anything with the material given to them. Less memorable are Bloom who is wooden from beginning to end and Knightley who exudes very little charisma in an underwritten part. Furthermore, the characters played by Jonathan Pryce and Jack Davenport are one-dimensional caricatures and totally unnecessary. Too bad the creative staff behind "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" couldn't loot a better director and a better script from elsewhere.

Summary: An amusing ride
Review: Johnny Depp has got to be one of the greatest actors that has ever lived. That being said, he completely saved this film. Had anyone else taken the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, this movie would have been unwatchable. The plot is cookie cutter, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner, while very hot, is laughable. It's pretty obvious that Will Turner is not supposed to be the guy we think rocks. At least, I hope he isn't, cause he was pretty dumb. In any case, Johnny Depp could deliver something written by Robert Jordan and make it seem like pure genius, and so the film wins out. The cinematography is beautiful and the skeletons are pretty damn cool. Geoffrey Rush does great as the pirate villain, and has his "arrgs" down perfectly. This film is worth a viewing.

Summary: One of the best movies in the history of cinematography
Review: when I first saw the trailer I thaught it would sink like a piece of iron in water but when I saw Jhonny Depp's performance my jaw dropped to the floor & stayed there from beggining to end. Jhonny sort of stole the show but still every one has lots of lines in this but he has the best. One of my favorite parts was the Rum part. Rush is also pretty good. Orlando Bloom is ok but seriously out of all the movies I have seen this one is in the top 10. if you dont like it you are just wierd (who cares if Jhonny was wearing make up on his eyes)

Summary: Grundgingly I offer a very favorable review
Review: I did NOT want to like this movie. Johnny Depp is a knucklehead in read life who keeps promising us he will move to France because of what he thinks of America, and Disney has been making so many non-child friendly movie that Walt Disney is turning over in his grave. Yet...
This IS a very fun movie. It has humor, it does not drag, and its special effects are super except for the very final scene where the special effects as slightly overdone.
The story leaves you wanting more (and they are making a sequel).

Summary: A Swashbuckling Adventure From Start to Finsh
Review: Having been a fan of the amusement park ride at Disneyland, and also a fan of pirate films in general, I was quite pleased with this new addition to my family's DVD collection. The film is stunning, and from the hilarious affability and antics of Captain Jack Sparrow (excellently portrayed by Johnny Depp), to the mysterious Black Pearl, to the shocking curse that hangs over it's doomed crew, it's definitely a pleasing adventure that both teenagers and adults will enjoy. Also accompanying the film itself on the DVD are many amusing and enlightening extras and long after the credits have rolled, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl will still have you humming or singing 'Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's Life for Me.' :)

Summary: Was Only OK
Review: The reason I didnt like this movie that much was that I couldnt stand looking at Johnny Depp. He looked like a woman with the black makeup around the eyes. I did not want to see a mannish woman jumping around
