Summary: Raiders Of The Best DVD...
Review: One of the best DVDs released this year. Packed w/ extras, you'll never watch the whole thing. A great compliment to the best movie of the year. Very enjoyable, and a pleasure to watch. 2 Disc package that rocks. A must have that you have to pick up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Johnny, oh Johnny
Review: This is seriously one of the best movies I have seen. I have always been a fan of Johnny Depp but he is truly amazing in this movie. Johnny's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, a pirate is amazing; he's witty, funny, charming and sexy. The movie also features one of the hottest new rising stars (the elf from Lord of the Rings) Orlando Bloom.
The story is amazing and original and if you're not into adventure movies you have to see this movie for very awesome special effects.
There's love, passion, crime, adventure, revenge, lots of pirates plus Johnny and Orlando.
A great Disney movie for the whole family.
I wish I could give this movie more than 5 stars.

Summary: Funny!!!
Review: I loved this movie!! If you love action and adventure, you'll love Pirates of the Caribbean!! This is a funny movie about a British governor's crew and his daughter on a ship, looking for the Black Pearl, a ghost ship. The captain and crew on the Black Pearl are under a curse, turning them into skeletons. I thought that part was really gross, but I still enjoyed the movie! There are some great sword fighting scenes, and cannons being shot between the two ships, making it feel like you're actually there! I watched Pirates of the Caribbean with my family, and usually everyone talks during movies, but this time, it was completely silent, because we were all literally glued to the TV!! You never know what might happen next. It's like reading a really good mystery book! I would recommend this movie if you're looking for humor, romance, and you like mysteries.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Fabulous!
Review: This movie is my all-time favorite! I really didn't know what to expect when I first went to see it because I had never seen the ride (and still haven't). All I knew was that ever since I saw Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow I have wanted to see more and more of his movies. He is an amazing actor (and awesome to look at too). That was the primary reason I went to see it, but when I did it blew me away! It was hilarious and had a lot of action and adventure, which I am a sucker for. I saw it 10 times in the theater (and before you call me crazy for spending all that money, let me assure you I didn't; I work at a movie theater, although I probably would have paid anyway). The day it came out on DVD I rushed out to Wal-Mart at 7:30 a.m. to buy it. The DVD has some great extra features and the audio commentary by Keira Knightley (Elizabeth) and Jack Davenport (Norrington) is hilarious. This movie also allowed me to see Orlando Bloom (Will) in action for the first time (I had only read about him because at the time I hadn't seen LOTR). He has become one of my favorite actors, right up there with Johnny. Keira Knightley is also a fantastic actress. This movie is great to watch if you love an adventure film with fabulous actors (both in leading and supporting roles, i.e. quirky pirates Pintel and Ragetti). Even if you're a person who can't seem to sit through movies (like my mother), you'll learn to love it (as she did when I dragged her to the theater). I highly recommend owning the DVD, even if you don't watch it often because at least it will be there when you need a lift.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: You might watch this twice...
Review: If you buy DVD's instead of renting...rent this first then decide. I am a Depp fan and he IS great and the co-starz are wonderfull in this one but the plot is a bit of fluff and won't stand the test of time. It's not a "classic".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME MOVIE!
Review: I love this movie and im glad i bought it. I watch it over and over and over again. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom make a good team.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fantastic adventure!
Review: I have to admit, I was skeptical about this movie when it first came out. I didn't think I could really enjoy what looked like a cheesy Disney pirate movie. Boy, was I wrong. I thought this movie was a fantastic tale of adventure that could appeal to all ages. The special effects were awesome and very realistsic, and the dialogue was witty and entertaining. Johnny Depp's character was fascinating to watch on screen. His eccentricities gave a wonderful humorous tilt to a tale of curses and death. My favorite aspect of the movie, however was the music. The booming, fast-paced anthems of adventure on the high seas really drove the film home. One of the neat aspects of the film is that small scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disney World are portrayed exactly the same in the movie. This film is excellent, and I would recommened it to anyone looking for an intriguing tale of sword fighting, ghosts, and stolen treasure.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Pirate or not this man saved my life."
Review: In 2003, Walt Disney Pictures (along with First Mate Productions and Jerry Bruckheimer Films) produced what is probably one of the best pirate films of the past two decades. Under the direction of Gore Verbinski (who directed "The Ring" in 2002), "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a very entertaining and engaging film in large due to the wonderful acting of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom (who played "Legolas Greenleaf" in all three "Lord of the Rings" films between 2001 and 2003), Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightley, as well as superb special effects, good cinematography and good writing. The principle writers for the film, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, have previously collaborated their writing skills on such films as "Little Monsters" (1989), "Aladdin" (1992) and the highly successful "Shrek" (2001), to name a few. Two other writers who helped to write this film are Stuart Beattie and Jay Wolpert.

The story, which was probably inspired by a ride of a similar name at the Disneyland amusement park in California, follows the life of a woman, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), from when she is child (played by Lucinda Dryzek) while she and her father, Governor Weatherby Swann (Jonathan Pryce), are en route to Port Royal. After successfully fending off a pirate attack, a boy named William Turner (Dylan Smith) escapes from the pirate ship and travels to Port Royal with Elizabeth and her father. As a memento of the attack, Elizabeth keeps a gold coin that she finds in Will's clutched hand. As an adult, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) works as a blacksmith. Enter the enigmatic pirate Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), who is not particularly welcome at Port Royal. He is imprisoned by Gov. Swann, but escapes when Port Royal is attacked by the pirate ship named the Black Pearl, which is commanded by Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). Jack wants the Black Pearl, Elizabeth is kidnapped and the nature of the curse is revealed.

Memorable scenes in the film include the pirate attack during Elizabeth's childhood, Jack's arrival at Port Royal, Jack meeting Will, the attack upon the port, Elizabeth onboard the Black Pearl, Will and Jack leaving the port, and the scenes at the Isla de Muerta. Other memorable characters include Mr. Gibbs (Kevin McNally), Koehler (Treva Etienne), Norrington (Jack Davenport), Ragetti (Mackenzie Crook), Pintel (Lee Arenberg), Mullroy (Angus Barnett) and Murtogg (Giles New).

At 2 hours & 23 minutes, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is sure to entertain both adults and children alike. Overall, I rate the film with 4 out of 5 stars. It would not be surprising if the film receives several Oscar nominations, which may include Best Special Effects, Best Art/Set Decoration, Best Costumes and possibly Johnny Depp for Best Actor.
