Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "You can always trust a dishonset man to be dishonest"
Review: With wit like that, who could'nt love this movie. The Pirates of the Caribbean overcomes the greatest plauge of Disney ride movies-it knows when not to take itself serisouly. The movie is part ghost story, part adventuere and mostly comedy. with high profile stars like Orlando Bloom and Johnny Deep that can actcualy act, the movie always keeps a fast pace, has some fun fight secenes and a forgetable plot-cure the curse- but that is the point of the film-to have a blast. By sure to see it (don't let the country bears turn you away:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truly outstanding movie that will appeal to all ages!
Review: Having watched the DVD, "Pirates of the Carribean" twice now (and I rarely watch ANY movie more than once), I can truthfully say that it ranks with any of the great fantasy/action films that I've seen in the past 10-15 years. The closest comparison is the Indiana Jones series with it's cliff-hanging, non-stop action.

By now, you've read enough reviews or you already know what the movie is about, so let me skip all of that.

Filled with memorable characters, "Pirates" is a movie that will appeal to movie fans from 8-80. Johnny Depp steals the show with his wonderful portrayal of pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. Geoffrey Rush is great as Captain Barbossa, former first-mate of Sparrow's who has stolen his ship, the Black Pearl, out from under him. (His character reminded me of Cyril Richards, the terrific Capt. Hook in the original "Peter Pan".) And, newcomers Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley play the parts of the star-crossed lovers with energy and enthusiasm.

The scenery and CGI graphics add greatly to the production of this mega-hit. Realistic ship-to-ship battle scenes and authentic-looking sword fights increase the realism of the film. And, if you're into plenty of extras on your DVD, then you'll spend a lot of hours going through all the things (bloopers, 19 deleted scenes, the "making-of" the film, etc.) included with the film.

All in all, just a tremendous film that's great fun for the viewer and wonderful escapism. Sit back and enjoy!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed in St. Vincent
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean was great!!! It was hilarious, moving, and the actors inluding Johnny Depp had my friends and I entralled...Then there's the fact also that the movie was filmed in my country St. Vincent and the Grenadines and that for me was exciting, because everyone around the world who saw the movie was seeing my beautiful and unspoilt country.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Review: The Curse of The Black Pearl isn't a realistic movie about Pirates. It is a movie about pirate myth, based on an idea from the ride. The story about the curse is a good one. The cast is a good one. Geoffry Rush, Orlando Bloom(Lord of The Rings) Johnny Depp, and Kira Knightley. She's in Love Actually, and I would watch her anytime. She's a good young actress also very beautiful. Listen to the commentaries, and you'll hear about (pout 1, pout 2, and pout 3,). She has a sense of humor people. The extras on the Dvd are an added bonus. If you like movies about pirate myth, or if you like the ride at disneyland, or swordplay you should like this Dvd. A costume Drama all the way, a enjoyable ride.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This film is wicked, savvy?
Review: Yes! Finally a pirate movie that captures the fun, swashbuckling aura that the Errol Flynn ones had.

This film is a real gem. It is not trying to be an pseudo-epic film with heart-breaking emotion, it is a comedic, visually exciting in terms of graphics, and fast-paced film.

This film focuses on the story of Cpt Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) wanting to retrieve his ship, the Black Pearl, from his so-called first mate Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). However, it does not solely focus on Johnny Depp which I think was good. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley's characters have their own interesting stories to tell.

Positive Points: Stellar Cast! Depp, Bloom, Knightley, Rush and Davenport work very well together.

Depp has proved him self to be a great actor with films like Edward Scissorhands but in this effort, he shows that he is versatile and doesn't take himself too seriously which is refreshing to see.

Script is original and quite funny for the light-hearted.

Brilliant DVD - especially the deleted scenes, blooper reel and the information on how the film was made.

Negative Points: It is an enjoyable film but the only niggle I had was the minimal interaction between Sparrow and Elizabeth...Shame, they would have made a cute couple!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Entertainment
Review: Enjoyed every minute of this picture. Don't miss it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Movies Ever!
Review: I knew this film was going to be good when it was released, but I was truly surprised when I walked out of the theater. Johnny Depp gives and EXCELLENT performance as Capt. Jack Sparrow. Geoffrey Rush's character, Captain Barbossa, is and excellent villian in the flesh and as a skeleton. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly also give very strong performances.

This is a must see film that has something for every member of the family. For those who have never experience the attraction, they will want to go once the movie is over! For those who have riden it, they will enjoy looking for all the hidden moment throughout the film. Disney and Bruckheimer have done it again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabtabulous
Review: Spectacular! This movie was a amazing!!The special effects blew me away,(they looked so real) it felt almost as if i was in the movie myself. It was a great story line and i found it both funny and thrilling. This movie is definatly one of the best movies I have ever seen. And the acting was the best! Johnny Depp "as usual" pulls off an unforgetable charactor. He along with orlando, kierra, and geoffrey are an amazing cast and perfect for their rolls. This movie is the best and anyone wo says other wise doesnt now what they are talking about!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun movie, but could be better...
Review: "Pirates of the Caribbean" is the kind of movie that most people enjoy for different reasons, but that never really amounts to anything substantial. The script was altogether bad, so commenting on the individual performances of the actors seems to be the most logical thing to do. Needless to say, my focus was almost entirely on Johnny Depp the first time I saw this movie. He gives a good performance, and makes you want to watch him throughout the whole movie, and never pay attention to anyone else. However, seeing the movie a second time, I realized that Rush's performance was as good, if not better than Depp's. Orlando Bloom did an average job playing an average, slightly stupid character. Kiera Knightly was possibly the worst actor in this movie; she seemed fake and inconsistent throughout most of her performance. The only character worse than Elizabeth (who's lines, by the way, were most obnoxious and unrealistic) was the random female pirate, whom we meet when we hear a high-pitched squeal of "You stole my ship!!". Pirate movies are not made to impress obsessive feminists, okay? This actor, whoever she was, obviously didn't put an ounce of effort into developing her character. Commodor Noringtton wasn't too bad, except his change in the end seemed completely random, and not character-driven at all. Also, the music was terrible, especially for the half-dead pirates (good special effects), but maybe it was supposed to be bad?
All in all, however, this was a fun movie to watch. I could go on complaining about it forever, and thinking of ways it could have been better, but, as much as I sometimes hate to admit it, I really enjoy watching this movie. Pirate movies are fun, and this one really wasn't meant to be any more than entertaining.
