Summary: THE BEST movie ever created!!!
Review: You would think a movie based on a theme park would be flat,but "pirates" has taken that assumption away.Full of action,a bit of romance,and of course the the comedy Johnny Depp brings to "captain Jack Sparrow"...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Priceless
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is the ultimate pirate movie! It has all the swashbuckling adventure that a movie can hold. The costumes are authentic and the story line is thrilling. Johnny Depp's performance is exceptional as the infamous, yet charming, Captain Jack Sparrow. The cast's performance is timeless with an instinct for witty remarks and facial humor. Watch Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl and you will find yourself wanting to see it over and over again. "Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate" (Jack Sparrow) and this is definately priceless!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: WDWCP alumni will enjoy scenes recreating the POTC ride.
Review: In 30 words or less...Great movie for the whole family. Length is too long. Depp's approach to pirating is refreshing/funny. Walt Disney World College Program alumni will enjoy scenes recreating the POTC ride.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Summer Movie
Review: At first i was wondering how good a movie POTC would be facing that it's based on a the ride at Disneyland. I was totally blown away by how well the movie was put together. Everything was great, the actors, the visuals, the plot, etc. Many people I've talked to say that they didn't want to see it thought it was wonderful. It's worth the two and a half hours. If you haven't seen it, put it on your must see list!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best surprise of the Summer!
Review: When I first began seeing trailers for this film, it held little or no appeal to me. Even though I enjoy Johnny Depp's work normally, the idea of making a movie based on a Disneyland ride seemed kind of silly. What a terrific surprise to discover that I was completely wrong! This was far and away the best film I have seen this summer. It had me laughing out loud and rooting for the leads, almost against my will. I wish I had known about staying through the credits, though. I plan to go and see it again and this time I will stay the course. Go see this film if you still remember what movies are supposed to be like!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As much fun as the ride
Review: Pirates is an interesting concept in and of itself being based on a Disneyland ride. Only Disney could make it work.

Johnny Depp, in my opinion, finally found his role. The part of a not quite bumbling pirate captain was perfect for him. His character was realistic and fun. He took it over the top (in a good way).

Orlando Bloom proved that he is more than a Tolkien elf by being an able swashbuckler. He also did well as the straight man to Depp's antics.

The cinematography was beautifully done and the CGI was seamless especially during the fight scenes.

Well worth the two hour wait in line.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An awesome mix of every crucial movie element, plus more
Review: OK, I admit it; I hadn't heard anything about the movie before I saw it, other than the fact that Orlando Bloom was going to be starring in it. Yes, I was going just for him, even if the movie bombed. What can you expect? I'm only 13! (A good thing for the movie, however, as boytoys from both generations were pulling in the female audience.) I mean, whom else did I know, or care, who were in it? Johnny Depp was alien to me, being as he was in his peak of fame before I could speak, maybe even before I was born. Geoffry Rush was just another name. I couldn't see why they were anything special.

But wow, 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was a blast. My friend told me, beforehand, that it had everything, and I responded, 'Whatever. It has Orli.' I can see what she meant though.
Action- the sword-fighting, defense against the ghosts, and their sweet getaway from right under the commadore's nose. It has a lot, but this is a pirate movie, and I doubt anyone is going to act as if the massive amount of action/violence is a surprise.
Romance- Will and Elizabeth... you know they're going to hook up, after all, this IS Disney, home of happy endings. But, hmm, might as well throw Jack slightly coming onto her to add a little disturbance in the destined relationship. (Remember his departure, where he's 'sorry lass. It would have never worked out' between them?) [I like commenting on everything, and I just would like to say, before they inevitably kiss at the end, Will is wearing this really ornate hat, and to those who can't stand end-of-the-movie kissing, it's a little funny to see how he was going to kiss her with that huge hat on! I said to my best friend: 'He's going to knock her into the ocean with that hat, or poke her eye out.' Then she takes it off. 'Ooooh...' :-D Just a quirk.]
Humor- (This is a major topic.) An omnipresent element that MUST be there if you're bringing the kids. Lucky for us, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow serves it straight to us, humor even the kiddlers would enjoy. (A conversation while dueling, which, in itself, is funny: 'I practice... with them... 3 hours... a day!' 'Lad, you need a woman') Even the slightest facial expression or body movement is pure hilarity with Depp. Sometimes it could be his comments, the fact that he cares about the little things when he could be killed, as shown when the executioner leaves out the 'Captain', or when his beloved Black Pearl is getting bombed. Whatever it is, it's laughter-laced with it shining through at the most unlikely situations. It's like the best Belgium chocolate with a side of a Starbucks.
Suspense- There's just a slight salt's shake of suspense, but enough. Will he, or will he not, be captured by pirates and killed? What happens to Elizabeth? Poor blasted Black Pearl, how will Jack sail it now?
Special FX: Wow. The way the crew of the undead changed between fleshy to skeleton is awesome, also when Barbossa and Jack are having their face-off, literally, their faces, plus every other flesh and ligament on them, comes off. But really, more than that, it was an asset that made the movie so more worthwhile.
Mystery- Why exactly do they need Elizabeth? This is addressed half way through the not TOO long movie, but I don't know if I've spoiled enough already! Now more of the mystery is something you'll have to uncover yourself!

The plot was that a crew of cursed pirates needed the last coin and pirate blood (they can't bleed, see?) to be put in a gold chest and make them human again. They capture Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightly), who they believe to be the person they need the blood from. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) seeks help from Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), who replies, (this is my favorite line) 'If you spring me from this cell, I shall TAKE ye to yer bonnielass.' I must congratulate Depp for being such a convincing pirate; appearance, attitude, accent and all. Moving on; Jack wants the Black Pearl, his old ship, but it's been captured by Barbossa (Geoffry Rush) and crew, so by helping Will, he's also helping himself reclaim his baby. See how it all comes together? 'Pirates' is bound to give you an ache for more, if you allow yourself to be taken by the movie magic. Yay for sequels then! Though I hadn't seen the trailer for it, I definitely will be back with an even larger group of friends.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must See Movie, Just Begging For A Sequel!
Review: This Disney Theme Park ride inspired movie, suits all ages looking for action, adventure, romance and comedy or just a good time at the movies. Johnny Depp plays Jack Sparrow, a fun, comical, sometimes loopy pirate, just trying to get his ship, The Black Pearl, back from his mutinous first mate Capt. Barbossa played by Geoffry Rush. But what he doesn't realize until later on, is that there is in fact a curse that haunts his old crew, that can only be repremended if all the Aztec Gold pieces that were stolen, be returned to the treasure chest, with a bit of blood from each person who stole them. This is where Orlando Bloom comes in. His character, Will Turner, is the son of Bootstrap Turner, a long-dead pirate, who refused to mutiny against Jack Sparrow and later paid for it. But not before sending the last piece of Aztec Gold needed to lift the curse to his son Will, who is found floating in the water by a young girl by the name of Elizabeth Swann, (Keira Knightley) the governer's daughter. She takes the gold piece and hides it, in fear that he is a pirate and they will kill him. They soon grow up and the pirates find out she has it. So they kidnap her and take her to their ship. She disquises her name as Elizabeth TURNER because she believes they will kill her if they knew she was the governer's daughter. They mistaken her for Bootstrap Turner's daughter, and think that his blood runs through her veins and will rid them of the curse, now that they have the final gold piece. Will Turner finds this out and offers Jack Sparrow an escape from jail, but in return, he has to help find Elizabeth. And thus the adventure begins. With sword fighting, cannons firing, skeleton crews, an awesome score and all-out pirate douling, Pirates of the Caribbean becomes the best movie of the year, and a must-see. I personally, have gone three times, and am willing to go another three. If you only see one movie this year, make it this one. It's well worth your time!

So drink up me mateys' yo ho!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: POTC Rocks
Review: I loved this movie! It was two hours long but it didn't feel like it at all. It never slowed down and it was entertaining and funny at the same time. Johnny Depp is such a good actor with his slurry accent and his little quips and Orlando Bloom is so cute. I expected this movie to be a summer box office cliche with no plot and so many colors and explosions you would start foaming at the mouth and start seizuring(like charlies angels 2).
