Summary: I hate Disney Co.
Review: But Pirates is nothing short of an awesome movie. Johnny Depp proves yet again to be an extraordinary actor, and his talent and versatility go a long distance to make this film enjoyable and (almost infinitely) re-watchable.
There is a great amount of action, adventure and humor for kids, as well as some veiled hilarious references that adults alone are likely to get (apparently you've never been to Singapore).
The movie is clever, witty, funny, and just generally excellent enough to be enjoyed by just about anyone - even those that see Disney Co as the Death Star and Mr. Eisner as Darth Vader himself.

Summary: My Kind of Movie...But...
Review: I couldn't complete the entire movie! I tried watching it 3 different times, and just couldn't make it to the end. I found the 'Pirates...' a bit dry...boring. Perhaps I'm missing something great by not making it to the end, but, if it's anything like the 1st half...I doubt it.

Summary: Best Movie Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is one of the best movie ever!!!Every time I go to my friend's house we always watch the movie and listen to the soundtrack(which is also amazing!!!!). Not only is Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp really hot, they are also amazing actors. Jack Sparrow's personality will make you laugh throughtout the movie. It is just one of the movies you can watch over and over again and never get tired. Kiera Knightly and Geoffrey Rush also are amazing actors along with everyone else in the movie. The monkey is also a great character. I reccomend you to buy this movie. Once you buy it, I promise you won't regret it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!

Summary: A spectacular ride the whole way through
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is an amazing combination of action and adventure that just about everyone enjoys. It has a superb plot, and enough action sequences to keep the audience interested.
We first meet Elizabeth as a young girl aboard a ship heading to the Caribbean. We also get a chance to see a bit of Norrington's character as well. The action starts quickly after Elizabeth finds Will floating in the water. After that, the plot picks up even more as we are introduced to the characters as they will be throughout the rest of the movie.
But what about Johnny Depp? Of course he makes an appearance near the beginning of the movie as Cap'n Jack Sparrow, and he is hysterical. While the rest of the main characters are at a promotion for Norrington, Jack tries to steal a ship. Here, the plots collide when Jack has to rescue Elizabeth. (It's a long story why, you'll just have to watch the movie) Next comes the best action sequences (in my opinion) of the movie. Jack and Will have an awesome swordfight scene, all the while keeping up a great dialogue. The rest of the movie follows that same kind of pattern.
Elizabeth gets kidnapped by the Black Pearl, where she learns something very interesting about the pirates and their curse. (Chances are you already know what this is, but in case you don't, I won't say it) Of course, Will, trying to be the "knight in shining armor" tries to rescue Elizabeth, but doesn't know where to start looking, so he has to team up with Jack. Humor follows Jack all the way through the movie, so of course simply getting out of Port Royal was hysterical.
As for the rest of the movie, it is filled with great action and funny scenes. The plot does seem to move slowly at times, but usually you don't honestly care too much about it. This is a great movie to watch on a rainy day, when you have plenty of time to really watch it.
The DVD features are definitely worth the cost. The deleted scenes, especially the scene with Jack and Elizabeth marrooned on the island, are spectacular, and they really help you to undersatnd the film better. The blooper reel is great, and probably the best special feature on the disc. Another great thing about this DVD is the commentaries. One of the commentaries is only selected scenes from the movie, so the entire thing only takes about half an hour. This is great because you don't have to sit through the entire movie again. There are other extras, like a tour around a ship of the era and a few documentaries, all of which are worth watching.
All in all, this is a great movie well worth the cost and time.

Summary: Great Fun!!
Review: Johnny Depp's brilliant performance as Captain Jack Sparrow carries this film from strength to strength! Depp plays the pirate as a slightly effeminate, customarily inebriated, slurring, ne'er-do-well villian-turned-hero who charms, delights, and thrills at every turn!This movie is just plain fun! You'll love the plundering adventure of the "bad guys", pirate sweeping fair maiden off her feet, and the smile-on-your-face, rocking-in-your-seat action! Three-cornered hats off to Johnny Depp for this one!

Summary: Long live the Swash-Buckler
Review: I actually went on the Pirate’s of the Caribbean ride at Disney Land as a kid. And apart from a few scenes, (especially on the extended DVD version), there’s only a vague derivation between the ride and the film. To be honest, the film is much better. Johnny Depp steals the show as the down-on-his-luck pirate captain, Jack Sparrow. A lot has been made of his bizarre take on this character, supposedly based on Keith Richard’s drug induced eccentricities. What he has created is a complex and intelligent soul, who also manages to lighten every scene in which he appears. Jack assumes a mentoring role for the young Will Turner, (Orlando Bloom), after they discover a shared desire to track down the legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. Orlando performs well, successfully capitalising on his newly earned reputation from The Lord of the Rings. Will Turner may not get many of the good lines but he make a good fist of what he gets. As does Keira Knightley in her role as the Governor’s daughter and Will’s love interest. Her role is fairly predictable; an atavistic modern woman plopped into the eighteen hundreds. The production values for this film are truly excellent and have been transferred flawlessly to DVD. The film’s special effects are very necessary to the plot, showing cursed pirates transforming into cadavers once in moonlight. These effects are both impressive and seamless. The DVD special features goes to quite some length to explain the creating of these images; maybe not ground breaking but interesting none the less. All in all the film makes for a solid base which should support a long-running series of sequels/prequels. So long as they manage to keep the film’s sense of humour I feel it’s a formula that should continue to prove entertaining. “The Curse of the Black Pearl” is a wonderful stand-alone experience but I for one will enjoy seeing Jack, Will and Miss Swan taking on their next challenge.

Summary: Here is the movie!
Review: I don't generally watch a movie over and over without spacing it so I've forgotten some of the action. Here is the exception to that rule! I love love love this movie! Johnny Depp steals the show as Jack Sparrow. (The rest of the cast is pretty darn good, too!) I absolutely had to buy this one!

Summary: Too much hype
Review: This movie was good, but all the hype is overblown. This is not a great movie and I cannot understand how or why Johnny Depp was nominated for an Oscar for this role. See the movie and you'll enjoy it, but it's not an epic film or the best Disney film to date.
