Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The bestest movie on the planet!
Review: OK, this is by far, the best movie I have ever seen. it has everything in it, action, adventure, swords and romance. It stars Orlando Bloom and Jonny Depp. Just the fact that they are in it, is a good enought reason to watch it!
It should win the best movie of the year award!
the soundtrack is also great, so those of you who saw the movie should also check out the soundtrack!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Argh! Be ye warned, Maties!
Review:
Great movie and Great extra features in the 2-DVD set! If you're considering buying this DVD you've probably already seen the movie so I won't rant on about how great it is other than saying it's an awesome swashbuckling adventure and Johnnie Depp puts a wonderful spin on the pirate role. Also, the extra features (2 DVD set) are great and go well beyond the usual paltry stuff that you get on most DVDs.

However, be ye warned that this DVD ONLY PLAYS IN WIDESCREEN ratio - there is no option to format it for a TV with normal dimensions (Why?! - Your guess is as good as mine, - but that's why I only gave this 4 stars instead of five). So, if you are one of the 98% of us who don't have a widescreen TV, you're going to watch it with those annoying blank areas above and below the picture. This little fact isn't mentioned on the packaging - except for a little ambiguous snippet in small print under the specifications section on the back.

So, if you'd rather have all of the extra features (which are good) get the DVD set. But if it's more important to you to see the movie take up your entire TV screen then I suggest you get the video (I'm going to return mine and get the video instead).

Summary: Shiver me timbers!!!!
Review: An engaging spectacle of mainstream storytelling and action that everyone can enjoy, Pirates of the Caribbean is a real treat. Based on Disney's theme park ride of the same name, director Gore Verbinski (who helmed the dismal yet surprisingly sucessful The Ring) laces the film with enough action packed scenes to satisfy any action fan, but the true highlight of Pirates of the Caribbean is the standout performance by the always excellent Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, and Depp's performance is worth seeing the film for alone. Geoffrey Rush's scenery chewing performance as the undead evil Captain Barbosa is a highlight as well, along with lively roles for Orlando Bloom, the comely Kiera Knightley, and Jonathan Pryce. The swashbuckling stuntwork and superb special effects nicely round out the film, but while Pirates of the Caribbean isn't without it's share of flaws (it is a bit too long for it's own good), it never fails to entertain, and is undoubtadly one of the best films to be released during the summer. The DVD itself is a work of art, with plenty of extras and features that will please fans of the film.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Entertainment At Its Best!
Review: Keira Knightley, Orlando Blom and Johnny Depp team up in this thrill a minute adventure making it one of the most enjoyable movies I have watched in a long time.
Of course the star of our show, Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp) adds so much spice with his humorous dialog that you actually wait for his next line, wondering just what he is going to say.
The story is about a lost ship, "The Black Pearl" that has a crew made up of ghosts. It seems these pirates had a curse put on them when they stole some gold years ago. To undo this curse they need a certain persons blood and will stop at nothing until they get it.
This is one of those movies that you can gather your family up, pop up some popcorn and share the entertainment.
Highly recommended!

Summary: What Obsession feels like
Review: I saw this movie twice in the cinema over the summer and both times I loved it. It was only when I recently bought it on DVD however that I remembered exactly how much I loved it. I have owned it for about a week or so and I have watched it every single day. I never do this with movies. Ever. I get bored easily. The reason for this madness? Reason has nothing to do with it.

Firstly, the script isn't just beginning, middle, end. Each character has a background and story to them, even if you don't find out that much about it. This makes it more...well, not real, but as close as you can get in a movie like this. You could make a movie on each character. That said, the actual plot is genius, with twists and turns and I still can't believe it's two hours long. The time flies when you watch it.

Ah the characters. Johnny Depp steals the show, no question. I've loved JD since I saw Edward Sissorhands and I think this Captain Jack Sparrow is the best character he has ever played. Kiera Knightly, Geoffery Rush and Orlando Bloom are all equally excellent, each playing their part to the hilt. Even the cast extras are pure gold.

Action, Adventure, Romance, Comedy, Eyecandy, Great soundtrack, great graphics...It is everything a movie should be and more. I can't find enough words to share my enthusiasm.

On a DVD exras note: This is well worth the extra dinero. There is a feast of bonus stuff that will keep you amused for hours. There's even a bit where it takes you through the original ride.

Buy it. Spread the Pirate-y goodness. This movie is a thing of beauty.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Intertaining Little Romp
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is a fast paced playful romp. It has action. The characters are charming. The plot is interesting. However, you never forget you are watching a movie. The feel is a bit cartoonish, the ending predictable, and the viewer does not invest much emotion in the film. But, it is fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: This movie is amazing. Johnny Depp is handsome and funny all in one. The extras on the dvd are funny and entertaining to watch. Great movie!!
