Summary: One of the best movies that i've ever seen
Review: This movie has to be one of Johnny Depp's finest proformances! Capt. Jack Sparrow is a wonderful character whom is enjoyable to watch throughout the film. This adventurous and comical character gives the movie a high-powered kick, which creates a fun and exciting experience that all ages can enjoy. This has to be the best movie that I've seen in a long time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST MOVIE THIS SUMMER, FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
Review: Was dragged into this by a group of friends with admittedly questionable taste in cinema. Pirates not really being my bag, I expected some papoose theme about treasure hunting on the Pacific.

But was VERY pleasantly surprised. Shouldn't underestimate any movie that Geoffrey Rush takes on, I guess. The story is not altogether deep (no sea pun intended) or dramatic but between them the actors take the movie out of the conundrum it could have been. Without one car chase, nudity or shooting mayhem.

Noteworthy: Depp, what a come back after Sleepy Hollow. He is hilarious and yet convincing. If this was some melodramatic theme with an exalted social message (to me, it is, but thats for another day) Depp would certainly merit at least one academy nomination. Brilliant.

Definitely worth some weekend popcorn, and when the DVD hits the shelves, that too.

Summary: One of the best!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean was an awesome movie! It doesn't come close to the Lord of the Rings movies, but then again, nothing ever will. Orlando Bloom did a great job, I've seen the movie twice and I can't wait to see it again! Johnny Depp was hilarious as Jack Sparrow, and the sword fighting between Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) was amazing! This is a must see movie!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Much better then expected.
Review: When I heard that Disney was basing a film on a theme park ride, I figured there was no way in heck that it could be any good. I figured wrong.
The plot is pretty simple. Pirates kidnap Elizabeth (Kira Knightley), and her blacksmith beau, Will Tanner (Orlando Bloom), commandeers a ship with the help of Capt. Jack Sparrow, played with much wit and humor by Johnny Depp, to rescue her. The pirates turn out to mutineers, that stole Aztec gold, and were cursed. The curse means that no one will ever sing "Moonlight Becomes You" to them, as said lighting shows them for what they really are, skeletons. Subterfuge and duels commence.
Surprisingly, the acting is good, and the special effects never overtake the film. Little wonder, as Knightly, Bloom and Depp have all worked in SE-filled blockbusters (Star Wars Ep. I, Lord Of The Rings, and Edward Scissorhands, respectivly). They turn in great preformances in what is otherwise an action-packed blockbuster with a costume drama wish.
Anyway, this would be a great date movie, girls will swoon for Orli and Johnny, and guys will love the swash-buckling action.
Bottom Line: Moonlight becomes this bucaneer flick, and it's little wonder it debuted at number one.

Summary: Best movie of 2003
Review: This movie can be describe in only one way...amazing! I have seen it twice since it arrived in theaters and plan to see it many more times before it even is available on DVD. I fell in love with Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. He is so charismatic and hilarious. The film has a slightly long running time but it is filled with swashbuckling fun. I am so happy that Disney has announced the filming of a sequel! i can't wait for it!

Summary: Only One Small Flaw.............Other Than That? Perfect!
Review: Alright, I have read all the reviews on this movie and I totally agree with them. This was a fantastic movie! I have seen it three times and I WILL buy it on DVD! I am not easily satisfied when it comes to movies but this one really did it for me! I won't talk about what I think about the characters since everybody pretty much speaks for me; they were all terrific. No complaints.

However, I did find one small flaw with the story line. And, if anyone can point out that I'm wrong, please do so. I would like to think that it is totally perfect, which it pretty much it is anyway.

How old was Jack Sparrow when he lost his ship to his first mate? The final piece of the Aztec (which was mailed to Wil Turner by his now deceased father) was with Wil when he was saved after his ship was attacked. When Wil was saved he only looked about 12 or 13 years old. When Will and Jack met during the fight scene in the blacksmith shop the age gap didn't look that big, infact they looked almost the same age. Could the Famous Captain Jack Sparrow possibly have had his own ship at the age of 13? This is my only question about this movie. I still rate this picture very high and will buy it when it comes to DVD. Please help if you have any insight about this possible flaw.

Summary: Pirates is AMAZING!!!!
Review: I have to admit the main reason why I went to go see this movie was because of the incredibly charming Orlando Bloom. But now having seen it, I would have loved this movie even if he wasn't in it (although his great performance was a 10+). The affects in this movie were awesome. And although it is pretty long at 2 hours and 23 minutes it didn't even seem that long at all! I especially enjoyed Johnny Depp, he added so much comic relief to the movie, it was great. Im not a huge fan of his, but seeing him in this movie just shows that he has great acting skills! Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush were awesome too as the governor's dashing daughter and the enemy pirate. No matter what you are looking for in a movie (action, romance, comedy) This one has it all! Go see it for yourself!!! ITS GREAT!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My 2 thumbs are WAYYYY up! GREAT MOVIE... What a DELIGHT!!
Review: What a compliment to the ride at Disneyland... it also does justice to anyone's imagination above and beyond a VERY GOOD Ghost, Pirate and Love Story. Who says that Pirate movies Stink??? this one banishes that theory and then some :)

Orlando Bloom is AWESOME - endearing and sweet as the goldsmith, and swashbuckling at it's best!! WOW!! 1st Bow and Arrows and now Sword fighting.. had me cheering throughout the movie.

Johnny Depp - had a major flashback of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", but very comical he is so hilarious as Captain Jack Sparrow such a well rounded actor I continue to enjoy his performances.

Geoffrey Rush - Excellent in his portrayal of Barbossa I could go on for days let's just say it was well worth the money.

The plot is woven so well that by the time the end comes you have no unanswered questions. Special Effects of the ghost/skeletons (in the moonlight) to living humans are FANTASTIC!! I was on the edge of my seat during some of the scenes and cheered when the girls got to kick butt too! The music was cool the costumes looked "just right", location was Beautiful (St. Vincent here I come) this movie was everything you would expect from a good Disney flick it kind of reminded me of "Hook" *BUT MUCH BETTER* had the witty humor, enough smart sword fights to keep you engaged ahhh what a fun movie!! I would say it does have some scary moments but I think the majority of the movie is so light hearted and fun that most kids can distinguish that it's just a movie. It is long but I didn't notice.... my 12 year old and boyfriend did however.

Do yourself a favor take the kids... and if you don't have kids take yourself this is worth seeing again.

Summary: A Swashbuckling Good Time!
Review: This movie was an absolute amazing ride for the audience. Johnny Depp is such a good actor and he really shines in this movie. His acting talent shows as he plays Captain Jack Sparrow with a rock star attitude. Orlando Bloom is a man of many talents and he looks good on screen. His character didnt have much depth but he played it well. Geoffrey Rush was a great Captain Barbossa. Kiera Knightley has had her break through this movie and I'll be excited to see more. This movie was really awesome and im looking forward to the sequel!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Johnny Depp's best character yet !!!
Review: This is the pirate movie I always wanted to see. Colorful costumes, fun and handsome Pirates. Made in the old Disney
way. No real bad guys, everyone turns out to be good in the
end. First time in years, I went to the movies where the
audience CLAPPED at the end of the movie. It was fun hearing
the reactions of the people when they recognized a scene in the
movie that was taken from the Disney ride. Johnny Depp really
steals the show and is a delightful character! Thanks for the

great performance Johnny!
