Summary: Best Movie Of The Summer
Review: This is by far the best movie of the summer, perhaps the year! It surpasses other pirate movies BY FAR. Depp has the best and perhaps the funniest (aside from his character Sam in Benny and Joon) performance of his career. Rush does an excellent job, as do Bloom and Knightly. Everyone should watch this movie. It's amazing!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Johnny Depp Cool
Review: Johnny Depp is not the most funniest guy in movies but for this movie he had me laughing. The movie was a great time at the movie theater. It had so much comedy that was probably not meant to be funny but Johnny Depp was amazing in this movie. This movie is definitly the best Johnny Depp movie that I have seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Review: Fatgollum 'ere, you know the big winner on Ebay. If you wanna see Lando Bloom watch Lord of the Ringies, and you'll see wunnerful slashings and knife twirlies as Legolas the Elf kills orcs and URUKS by MILLIONS!AAARROOOAAA go the orcs as Stridey the Rangey PUNCHES DEM OUT! BUT, that's another story....
So you want ta watch ORLANDO, HUH? WEll, besides Lord of the Rings see Pirates of the Caribbean. AAARRRR! That be a good un' movier, mates. Lando is Great! Swordfighting and Flippin' and Swingin'. Maybe one of the best swordfights, come to think of it.He's gotta save horrorized lass Eliza.Poor girl. Stunts were RAWTHER challenging.Now Jacky Sparrow one of The Birds in jail is GReat Buddiess with Orio Bloom. Of course he is a little dwunk at times and has to watch out for incoming slaps from mad gels.Of course Orlando never gets slapped by his girl........Oh weelll oh weeeeeeeeell its sad when in the end Old Sparrow leaves on a ship.Orlando and his Elizabeth don't seem to care.They wouldn't mind if he hanged.....................Of course
Orlando is really goooonnna be a big man or Elf in Return of the Kingy.I hope he becomes a pirayte on the black fleet.Swingin' on ropes cuttlass duels most likely. After all he'll sail off on the sea and the will be that last every one will ever knowst of him will ever know. Bad spelling....Legolas Turner is not toooooooooooo good at spelling.........
I hupe you have learned a looot about ORLANDO BLOOM!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BBOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOM!(Cannons in D victory!)

Summary: If you miss this, you will be cursed...
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, based on the famous Disneyland ride, is an exciting, lighthearted epic of 18th Century pirates in the style of Errol Flynn's Captain Blood. It's a fast paced romp that mixes seafaring action, elements of the supernatural, slapstick comedy, and romance. It's not realistic, but thank goodness, it wasn't meant to be.

The plot of the movie centers on a gold medallion (here we see echoes of the Indiana Jones movies) that has supernatural powers. It's being sought by Captain Barbossa (Geoffery Rush) and his cursed crew of ghosts to lift the spell that has doomed them to sail the seas as undead. Chasing them to take back the ship Black Pearl is Captain Jack Sparrow ( Johnny Depp). He is eventually assisted in his quest by blacksmith and expert sword maker Will Turner (Orlando Bloom of Lord of the Rings fame) and governor's daughter Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley).

Director Gore Verbinski (Mouse Hunt), working from a screen play by Shrek writers Stuart Beattie, Ted Elliot, Terry Rossio, and Jay Wolpert, gives audiences laughter, excitement, chills, thrills, and even antcipation of further Pirates of the Caribbean movies. For those moviegoers who've visited Disneyland or Disney World, there are several charming references to the ride; my favorite is when the pirates are chasing the women around the port. I broke out in laughter several times, and so did many in the audience. I also found the special effects by Industrial Light and Magic (the same people that do the special effects for Star Wars) are incredible, and the score by Klaus Badelt is lively and stirrring.

For a late summer moviegoing season, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is definitely worth going to see.

Summary: Pirates of the CariBORING!
Review: You can't kill the ghosts. They know that. Yet they KEEP ON FIGHTING THEM TILL THEY GET THEMSELVES KILLED! How juvenile and hokey! Pirate movies are pathetic anyway. Save your 5-stars for a movie with intelligence. You know, that thing that you all lack. Morons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Ultimate Movie
Review: This is postitvely the best and most exciting movie these eyes have seen in a very long time, and it is definitely a diversion from other movies! There's never a dull moment, the special effects are outstanding and the main character - portrayed by Johnny Depp - is truly the steal of the whole movie and postitvely the handsomest and most loveable pirate I've ever seen! This movie is truly a classic and an absolute must see!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everyone should see this movie!!
Review: It is full of talented actors, amazing special effects and a story that will keep you laughing and anticipating the next scene constantly. And, of course, there are not enough words to describe Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow--I have never seen any of his movies before this one and I am now a huge fan of his. He is gorgeous, funny and so very talented!As soon as I saw this movie I knew I was going to have to see it again and again.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The curse of Pepe Le Pew
Review: It seems Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is in trouble. Once the captain of the fastest ship of the Caribbean, the Black Pearl, now he's a nobody, shipless and moneyless. He vows revenge on his former immediate, Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and his former crew, who left him alone on a desert island with only a gun and a bullet. To help him, enter the scene Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), a blacksmith and the daughter of the british governor of Jamaica.

Just another pirate story, huh? Think again. "Pirates of the Caribbean" may not be the most original movie in the world, but if you put together the special effects, the acting provided and a subtle humor, this may well be the most interesting and captivating film of the year.

The special effects are very well done and extremely effective. To watch real characters become skeletons and then become real characters again several times in the same scene was very funny and, at least to me, unexpected.

The humor contained in the movie is subtle - not the in-your-face kind of humor, but gentle and also unexpected. Not childish humor either, even if the main target of this movie are the children.

The actors all do competent jobs. Two of them, though, come to mind to be mentioned in this review. Jonathan Pryce, as the Governor, has one hilarious scene, a pity he was given so little time on screen. And then we come to Johnny Depp. He may be the most talented post-Hanks-generation Hollywood actor. To create his Jack Sparrow he was inspired by Warner Bros. cartoon character Pepe Le Pew. If you didn't know that, watch the movie again, or at least remember Depp's scenes with this in mind. He's perfect, he's THE Pepe Le Pew in human form, from the make-up to the way he talks. Always gesticulating, obnoxious, irritating, and at the same time completely captivating and likeable. "Pirates of the Caribbean" orbits around Depp's acting, and he's in top form.

Top entertainment, watch with no regrets.

Grade 9.2/10
