Summary: Fun movie
Review: A fun movie for the younger set. Depp is a colorful actor who gives a fine performance. Taken for what it is, a fantasy for the younger mind, this is a fun filled, fast paced adventure.

Summary: good movie but alittle over rated
Review: Yes, this movie is amazing but alittle over rated. The effects are really good and the story is pretty cool. The movie is long but not really seem drawn out or boring at any point. It's worth buying and watching I myself own the movie and enjoy it. It's a well made movie with cool effects and will sound good with a home audio system!! 4 stars for me. Happy viewing

Summary: Johnny Depps's best yet
Review: I had to watch the movie twice before I could make my mind. second time, I saw many things that I missed from the first time. Excellent special effects, a twisted story and unexpected ending. I think, this movie one of the best pirate movie I have ever seen in years.

Summary: Excellent Disney should Make More Like This
Review: Let me start off with saying that Johnny Depp was great in this movie. It had the potential to be horrible but I am glad to own it. I had heard enough praise about it to be confident enough to buy it without seeing it first. This movie had everything that I wanted it to have. Orlando Bloom who I liked already was great and he was played a stupid character but he managed to save the part. Johnny Depp was hilarious with his role as Captain Jack Sparrow. This was Disney's first PG-13 movie in the U.S and I hope not the last. I've grown out of Disney but I was impressed. This is a must see and a must buy.

Summary: Meh...
Review: A long and uninventive film, saved in part by Johnny Depp's performance, wich does not deserve an academy award, but kind of deserved a nod. Murray wil win anyway. But he lost. Man.Besides, the effects in this movie always looked fake to me. And there wasn't a pirate cliche left unused in the entire film. As for the DvD, it seems pretty dumb to me. I do like the commentaries, but the second disc of bonuses was a little too dumb for me... You know what I mean if you own it and you have any sense, which apparently some of you don't. The best movie of the year? Pa-lease. But, I guess, it could be entertaining at a single casual viewing.

Summary: But, where's the rum?
Review: I am giving the movie 2 stars, just to be nice. My closest friends have the DVD, and saw it in theaters 13 times. Yes, 13. I saw it twice in theaters, I was dragged persay, and I found it unbearable to get through the second time. At first, I wasn't real into seeing a movie of pirates. It just isn't my thing. People said the movie was humorous, but really I didn't get any of the humor in the movie. The best part was the end with the monkey at the rolling credit. However, according to my friends it was one of the best movies of the year, so don't take my opinion for it. My friend has her brain into writing fan fictions of pirates. I don't know if the movie was so wonderful because of the hunkalicious Johnny Depp, who I don't find very handsome, or what. However, the actors did a good job, Johnny and Orlando, and any female will start drooling over the presence of these two males. I didn't though. They just aren't my type.

Summary: Don't see what the hype was about. 2.5 stars
Review: Okay, this review is going to make me extremely unpopular, but some dissenting opinion of this film is required, I feel. Back when "Pirates" was in theatres, the trailors gave me no compulsion to watch the film. However, so many of my (female) friends insisted that this was the greatest movie ever. So eventually I went to see it, and was quite disappointed. If one looks at other movies I've reviewed for amazon, you would see that I'm generally a very generous and easy-to-please moviewatcher. However, I was not overly impressed by "Pirates". The movie was not terrible; I had an "okay" time watching it. However, I really didn't see what set it apart from the next piece of action-packed, cheesy special effect-ridden Hollywood fluff like "Hulk" or "Daredevil". I left the theatre thinking, "that was it? What was so great about it?" Some girl is going to bash me on the head and yell, "Johnny Depp, you fool!" True, I admit that Depp's performance was mildly amusing at times, but oscar-worth stuff it ain't. I find it to be around the same calibre as something from Jack Black, but no one is nominating Jack for an oscar. The plot of the movie was...absurd at best. The special effects weren't anything groundbreaking, and added with the plot, it produced a very cheesy movie, the kind you watch once and forget about. Personally I felt that, despite the movie offically being a comedy, it took its childish and ridiculous premise way too seriously. My feeling is that this film attained its level of popularity primarily due to the "sex appeal" of the film, particularly for the female audience. My female friends insist that Johnny Depp is some kind of irresistible sex machine, and the addition Orlando Bloom is just icing on the Depp cake. However, being a heterosexual male, the antics of Depp and Bloom do dreadfully little for me. Keira Knightly, although objectively a pretty girl, is really not my type, and furthermore did not create a distinguishing and memorable character for me. All she seemed to do was to get kidnapped, then do some obligatory "girl power" fighting towards the end. So basically, there was really just nothing for me. In the end the only character I really liked was that very honourable commodore who didn't get the girl and gracefully stepped aside to allow Bloom and Knightly's characters to be together. That guy earns my respect. In my opinion, this film was standard Saturday-night faire, not terrible to watch, but well-described by words like "forgettable" and "undistinguishing". And now I must hide myself as many girls will seek my death for such "blasphemy" against the sex-god Johnny Depp's movie.

Review: pirates of the carribean is one of the best disney movies. most disney movies i've grown sick and tired of. there all like copy cats, but pirates of the caribean is a true original. the effects are cool, hilarious, and the actors, wow! orlando bloom is HOTT! theres an original stories about a cursed treasure. there are hilarious parts when Elizabeth Swan fell off the cliff thanks to her dress, and when johnny depp, and orlando bloom fought. the pirates were really cool when they were, well skeletons. theres no language, just some action, and you can never i repeat never get tired of this movie! disney pulled it off this time! it makes the perfect gift for anyone this holiday season, show someone you love them by buying pirates of the caribean.
