Summary: A movie that was a bit overrated........
Review: I know most critics and fans love this movie. I enjoyed it myself, but I didn't think it was as good as most people have told me it is. Maybe it's because of my hatred of Disney for screwing up Pearl Harbor. I have never really liked Disney live-action movies. I am a huge fan of Beauty & The Beast, Little Mermaid, Lion King, etc. I just can't think of one Disney film that I have liked that has NOT been animated. Now, I know that Armageddon & Pearl Harbor were produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, but Disney was pulling the strings. I liked Armageddon quite a bit. I would rather be thrown into a pool of acid than watch Pearl Harbor again. But, those were not looked at as 'Disney' movies. This one is, however. The plot is realtively simple......a pirate named Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) loses his ship, The Black Pearl, when he is overthrown by his mate Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and he is left for dead on an island. Later he ends up in Port Royal when it happens to be attacked by Barbossa using the Black Pearl. Along the way, Jack meets a blacksmith named Will (Orlando Bloom) who also happens to be quite gifted with a blade. He is in love with the Govenor's daughter, Elizabeth (the HOT Keira Knightly), and wants to marry her. Barbossa's goons then kidnap Elizabeth and a quest is on. Jack Sparrow wants his ship back and Will is coming along to rescue Elizabeth. It's not a deep story, but it's well done. Johnny Depp steals the movie. His portrayl of Jack Sparrow is amazing. He acts like he is drunk the whole film, and has all the good lines. His presence on-screen is obvious and he is one of my two favorite actors (Edward Norton being the other). I haven't seen Keira Knightly in anything before this movie, but I certainly hope I see more of her. Yes she is unbelivably hot, but she is a pretty good actress too. While her performance here is not oscar-worthy, it hopefully will lead to more dramatic roles. Orlando Bloom does NOT shoot one arrow this whole flick. Now that I got that out of the way, he plays off Depp perfectly. He is the nice, heroic figure that this kind of film needs. He doesn't get the humorous lines that Depp or Rush receive, but he holds his own. Geoffrey Rush looks like he is having a blast with this role. While being a villian, he never really becomes hateable. He has that 'Disney-like' villian quality, but adding his own twist. Don't go expecting Dustin Hoffman from Hook. Which is a good thing. This is also the first film I have seen that Gore Verbinski has directed. I must say, it's refreshing to see a Bruckhemier film that is not directed by Michael Bay. That is not a knock on Bay, it's just that you don't need a severe case of ADD to watch this movie. Verbinski doesn't really do anything that stands out, in my mind, but he takes what could have been a HUGE flop and made is a HUGE summer hit. A sequal is already being discussed. All summer I had to hear about this movie, and now I know why. It's a good movie, but it's not the best of the summer. X-Men 2 & Termintor 3 were much better 'summer blockbuster' films, in my opinion. I thought this flick would suck, but it actually ended up surprising me. I would definately recommend checking it out. This DVD is loaded with special features. I won't go into all of them, since you can just scroll up and look at it. Here is an overall look though....deleted scenes, blooper reel, commentaries, documantaries, featurettes, trailers and more. If you take away 'The Two Towers' extended edition DVD, this is the most packed one of the year.

Summary: A true work of art
Review: Johnny Depp is hilarious in this movie and excellent in the character of Captain Jack Sparrow. Geoffrey Rush was also fit for Captain Barbosa as he had a whole freakish intimidation thing going on. I especially liked the whole legend thing about the Aztec gold. Both times i went to see this movie in theaters it was packed. This is my 2nd favorite movie and it's quite difficult to meet my standards. I'm not really sure what else to say about this movie because im just speechless. Simply put it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Review: This is the BEST movie of all time! If you are going to see one movie your entire life, make it this one. I wasn't expecting this much, seeing how it was named after the Disney Ride...I've always been a fan of the ride as a young kid, but it would make an utterly snore-worthy movie if it had been similar. It was completely different, a good good thing! There are some small things that can remind you that it is related to it, such as the dog with the keys, but it is very different, a captivating incredible masterpiece! I love it and all of my friends and family agree!

Review: This film was great fun to watch. I thought it to be a film which could have been rated PG, but that's not my area to judge. Anyhow, Pirates of the Carribbean, starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and the beautiful Keira Knightley is an adventurous film full of fun and laughs. The infamous pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), seeks to steal back his ship, The Black Pearl, in which he was overthrown and deserted on an island from the time before. Sparrow's encounter with the British that looked to be his end, soon turned to be his ticket to redemption. The pirates who sail the Black Pearl are cursed with a spell that makes them immortal, but full of suffering. Wil Turner (Orlando Bloom) becomes the key to everyone's fate, as he joins Captain Jack Sparrow in a quest to rescue his love, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). Gore Verbinski, director, does a marvelous job directing this movie and deserves recognition. The film was well presented and easy to view. Truly a film I would recommend for anyone, even as a family movie. One of the year's BEST films overall!

Review: you know, at first, i wasn't to thrilled about this movie at first since a lot of thirteen-year-old girls were squealing after johnny depp and orlando bloom (although they are nice to look at) i just thought that girls were watching the movie simply cuz of either depp or bloom. but one night, my best friend made me sit on my ass and watch it and...WOW!! It was so FREAKING awesome!!! i also love the cg graphics on it and there were times when it was really amusing. but alas, depp did an awesome job, so did bloom and kiera knightley. so i am now quite a fan of this movie---go check it out!!!!!

Summary: Over the Top!!!
Review: I'll say it this way - "It's a G-R-R-E-A-T-T movie," and it is reminiscent of the old-fashioned movies of yesteryear. You know, the swashbuckling, swordplaying, and romancing, and suspense-filled, and even humorous films which filled our movie theaters. Johnny Depp has come a long way from 21 Jump Street, I'll tell ya', and the movie was well worth the wait, albeit I wasn't real inclined to sit down at first. But as soon as the movie begins, you know you're in for a treat, if not an adventure. And there's plenty of twists and turns, especially Depp's character, not to mention the fine ensemble cast. I hope they come out with another one like this, and hopefully, they won't ruin it, like some other sequels. This is fine entertainment, with a capital "E." And it's well worth the price!!!
