Summary: Good - but overrated
Review: This was a good and entertaining movie, but I made the mistake of seeing it with overly high expectations based on all the raving reviews I'd heard about it.

It's entertaining, and interesting, but it's not THAT great. It makes you realize how lousy most movies released these days are for this to be so well reviewed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a great film!
Review: I've always liked pirate movies. Ever since Cutthroat Island (yes, I liked this movie)I've wanted more pirate films to be made.

I didn't see this film in the theater, but when it came out on DVD, my parents bought it so I watched it at their house. It was an amazingly fun film! Johnny Depp should've gotten the oscar for his performance as Captain Jack Sparrow. Whatever movies he's in, good or bad, Johnny Depp is always great.

Orlando Bloom, while a decent actor, is just starting his acting career. He's off to a great start actually, with The Lord of the Rings films and this film along with upcoming sequels! But his character in this film didn't seem much different than Legolas in LOTR. Sure, he looked different, and he WAS playing a different character. But his mannerisms seemed quite similar to Legolas. I think he needs to work on developing new unique characters for the films he's in. Nevertheless, he still acted good in this.

Keira Knightley was great, although I can't remember what her name was in the film(I can't remember Orlando's character's name either!). She's just such a beautiful actress. She's got the look and the acting skills down.

The story is great. The special effects are great. The sword fighting is great. This film is great.

The DVD is packed full of extras that are actually worth watching. I especially enjoyed watching how they did the effect of the pirates transforming into skeletons whenever they go under moonlight. That was a great concept!

Great film, great DVD.

Summary: If I could it would be a higher rating
Review: This is a great movie. It has everything, two of the hottest guys on earth (Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp), a great story line, a cool villian, hystarical lines (you get the picture).
The girl is not just a helpless, brainless, damsel in distess, she is couragous and incredibly cool. Orlando played her adorable childhood friend who was actually in love with her. Johnny played a mysterious hot pirate who agreed to help Orlando save Kiara Knightly from the captain of the black pearl The evil captain Bobossa. All i all it was a GREAT movie and anyone who hasn`t seen should go out and rent or buy it cuz it is one you will want to see over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BUY IT! -- it's worth ALL your money and more
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean was the blockbuster hit of last summer, and for good reason. Witty writing, dead-pan humor, superb acting, and an all-star cast make this film about pirates, not just a film about pirates. Johnny Depp is absolutely lovable as Captain Jack Sparrow, AND to prove my point, he was nominated an Academy Award for his role! What more can I say?
The DVD has some great features that will keep you occupied and entertained for hours on end. It's a great buy. Go and get it now!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not bad for a Bruckheimer Movie
Review: Johnny Depp is excellent in this popcorn action movie and Keira Knightley is good in it too. I was a fan of the Disneyworld ride as a kid so I was close to giving this 5 stars. Also the dvd is packed full of extras on 2 dvd's it's really worth it as far as action movie dvd's worth buying this past year since there weren't many.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing, exhilerating, and at times quite funny!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Pirates of the Carribean was probobly one of the best films that released during suumer 2003. I personally think that S.W.A.T. was the bets movie of the summer, but this is still good. I was really amazed that this movie had great action, load of laughs, and that its from Disney! That is one of the reasons I almost never saw this movie is because it was released Disney, a company that usually makes fantasy stories for 4 yr olds. I was really surprised that there were so many kids that said how much of a great movie this was which made consider about seeing it. I was also surprised that this movie was in theaters for sucha long a time. I saw this movie the day after Halloween (and it had been in theaters since July) and I can clearly see why it was so good. I definetly want to own this movie. Enough about that here is the plot.
Many years ago a group of Pirate who have a ship called the Black Pearl discovered a treasure that leads back to the aztec ruler Hernan Cortez. They all took it and sold it off but what they didn't realise was that when they took the gold, they became cursed. To them; food taste like ash, they cannot die, they become skelatons when they walk into the moonlight. Now their on a quest to end their curse by finding all the gold they had tooken. Many years later they have found almost every piece of gold except one. That one piece is with the daughter of a governor, Elizabeth (Keira Knightly). They kidnapp her because they need the gold and they need her blood to help end the curse. What they do not know is that the gold doesn't actually belong to her, it belongs to a friend of her's, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), a tailor who is secretly in love with her. It is actually Will's blood that is needed to end the curse and the pirates do not know that nor does Will. Will goes on a quest to rescue Elizabeth by enlisting the help of a Pirate, Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). As they go on their rescue adventure, we learn some hisory about jack. We learn that the Black Pearl was at one time under Jack's control and the the current captain, Barbosa (Geoffery Rush) had turned on him so he can get control of the ship. Jack is out there to help WIll, but mainly to kill Barbosa and once regain his ship.
Overall Pirates of the Carribean was a great film. Even I can admit, that I was clearly wrong about this movie when it first came out. It is fun overseas adventure and is filled witth moments that will make you laugh. I definetly want to own this one day cuz it is a film the whole family will enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Depp Excels
Review: Worth seeing for the wacky over-the-top performance of Johnny Depp, but let down a bit by the script. These are the same guys who wrote "Shrek" and "POTC" doesn't really quite rach the level of that one. They also have strange ideas about floatability. A boat full of air is not going to stay at the bottom of the ocean and young ladies do not sink like a stone.

Still, averagely enjoyable. Ham acting rules.
