Summary: "Pirates" is a five- Starrrr DVD
Review: I absolutely LOVE this DVD. I loved the movie in theaters, and when I recieved this disc as a Christmas disc, I was floored. The sheer number of special features make it an incredible expirience, the sound is awesome, and of course the picture is as clear as can be (I would love to see it on a plasma screen). Oh, yeah. The movie itself is great, too!

Summary: A fun pirates movie
Review: This movie was very fun, although the plot was a little bit stupid. The special f/x in this movie was very nice and the acting was alright, espicially Johnny Depp's perfromance. The DVD is loaded with xtra's including a ride simulator, a diary of apirate, and a diary of a producer. Overall a nice movie and a DVD.

Summary: could've done without the Disney twist
Review: I was dragged to the theatrical version of this film by a bunch of girls who wanted to see a movie with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, and wasn't really expecting much out of it, particularly since it was a Disney film. Well, it was a good film indeed, although I have to say the major downfall was Bloom's character. I won't dispute his acting talent, but the character he played was the same old cliche Disney romantic bumbling bonehead with silly lines and a really comical composition. Depp's performance was darn good; to play a character who was so out-there, and to do it with style, that takes skills. Geoffrey Rush makes a great villain, even though the film doesn't do a whole lot to antagonize his character. And then there's Keira Knightley... she may be the most beautiful girl alive, but she also has acting talent, and unlike many of her colleagues, she doesn't need to rely on her looks to gain her glory. The less important actors came out with mixed results, but the Commodore and the governor were, sorry to say, not very good. The music was pretty good, but I think it could've been stronger. I could just imagine them using the intro to Dimmu Borgir's "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" (which was done with an orchestra) in the battle scenes! Anyway, although they had to make Orlando Bloom's character a typical Disney bozo, it really is a pretty good film. Very out-there, but entertaining enough.

Summary: A Surprising Delight
Review: What a fun movie! Honestly, I expected little from this movie. I was more than pleasantly surprised. The visual effects are very good. But you knew that from the previews. What I didn't know was how quirky the plot is. There are a lot of fun twists. When you think you know what to expect, you find you were wrong. And it is very funny. I laughed a lot.But it is exciting as well. My 12 and 10 year olds found this to be a heart-pounding thriller. At a couple of points they were so scared they said they found it hard to watch the screen. Not from horror, but because they found the suspense hard to bear. But they couldn't turn away. Afterwards, they raved about the movie. I personally loved the way the character of Captain Jack Sparrow moves through the movie almost apart from it, but deeply involved in every aspect of both sides of the issues. He is after his own objectives and all his alliances are temporary and his methods brilliant. Johnny Depp is superb in this role as is Geoffry Rush as the villain Barbossa. Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom bring energy and verve to their roles and a fun to watch. The whole cast enlivens this movie with the spirit of fun no matter how tense things get in the plot. There are many many extras offered with this movie. They are of varying quality and interest, but none are as fun as the movie itself. For me, this was a surprising delight.
