Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I really loved this movie! I have already seen it twice and hope to see it again soon. Disney has struck gold woth this one. It can be marketed to a much larger audence, kids and "grown-ups" alike.
The charcter you are most drawn to in the film would probably be Jack Sparrow(Jonny Depp).He's so funny! Not too far behind is Will Turner(Orlando Bloom). It's good to see Orlando Bloom doing other movies. I have wanted to see more of him since LOTR. He's a great actor!
"Pirates of the Caribbean" gets 5 BIG stars! If you only see one movie this summer, it should be this one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun Summer Movie
Review: 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' had the potential to be very, very good, or very, very bad. Movies based on theme park rides seem like a flimsy idea at best (despite how much fun the actual ride itself is), but Director Gore Verbinski managed to create an action-filled pirate extravaganza, full of great atmosphere, and reminiscent of the ride--just not in a hokey sort of way.

Blacksmith Will Turner (played by the very divine Orlando Bloom) enlists the help of pirate Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in order to rescue his love, Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley) from the cursed crew of the Black Pearl. A seemingly straightforward plot, until the two discover that Captain Barboosa accidentally kidnapped the wrong person, and it is actually Will's blood that the pirates need to reverse the curse. Oh, and did I mention that Jack seems not to have Will's best interest in mind, either?

Johnny Depp turns what could have been just an average action movie into a high-spirited good one. I've always felt that Depp is a better actor when playing slightly-off characters, and his flamboyant Captain Jack Sparrow is just another example of this. Orlando Bloom is perfect as earnest, straight-and-narrow Will Turner, and Keira Knightly gives the role of Elizabeth Swan a much needed zing.

Go see this movie, if only to watch Johnny Depp sashaying drunkenly, yet oddly majestically, through beautiful nautical sets that makes even the most reticient of us want to say, "arrgghh."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best movie this year!
Review: Without a doubt, the best I've seen this year. Johnny Depp fills the screen with witty sarcasms that keep your ear bent to catch the next one. Swordplay and acrobatics, along with plenty of swashbuckling pirate lingo, make this an all- around fun experience!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shivver me timbers
Review: This movie was the bomb! I came into the movie not expecting much, I mean it was a disney backed movie based on a ride that really has no stor to begin with. But WOW! Right from the opening bell the movie catches you and doesn't let go for the entire 2.5 Hours! The did a great job in exp;aining the story and I loved it! The PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN just pulled disney out of their grave after their release of the country bears movie. Watch it you won't regret it! ARRH!

Summary: Silly swashbuckler
Review: I was pleasantly surprised by this movie; it provides the kind of swashbuckling entertainment I haven't experienced in a movie theatre in a long time (despite being about 45 minutes too long). The fight scenes are well-choreographed, and elaborate without being silly (though sometimes just barely). Sillier still is the script, which allows Orlando Bloom to do things like swim a mile in 45 seconds. Poor Orlando also comes across as a bit bland next to seasoned hams like Geoffrey Rush. However, he's acted off the screen by Johnny Depp, looking like the ... child of Dr. Frank-N-Furter and a Rastafarian with a bad hangover. Depp manages to be immensely entertaining despite giving a highly mannered performance (which is even parodied by Bloom's character). Almost as suprising as Depp are the special effects, which are used judiciously and are creepily effective. So even though the movie doesn't quite gel, it's got enough solid elements to make for a decent night's entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: unexpectedly hilarious!
Review: i thought that this film was absolutely hilarious! my friends didn't believe me, before they went to see it, saying it was supposed to be an scary action film. but when they saw it, they too were laughing their {bottoms} off!!!
johnny depp plays the best comic character i've ever seen! everything he does, from his quirky, funny lines to the little finger movements, is funny - i was laughing through 3/4's of this movie. orlando bloom takes on the role of "strong, moral hero" and does so stunningly - shows the world that he can be more than just an elf, and convinces us that there is still such a thing as honor and love worthy of dying for. whoever plays elizabeth (i forget her name), she did so wondefully. its so refreshing to see a damsel not in distress, but keeping her head and using her wits to outsmart her opponents, while still looking gorgeous in a period gown.
so all in all, i would say this is one of my favorite films to date. i would reccomend seeing this film at least twice, beacuse it was still histerical the 2nd time around!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: pirates = overrated hype
Review: My only praise for this film comes in the form of johnny depp other than that it is a subpar film that is one of those movies that just tends to drag on forever and goes absolutely nowhere .I found myself looking at my watch on several occasions and on the brink of dozing.I would not recommend seeing this at night especially if you want to doze for a couple hours because this film is the common cure for that.I believe this is the most overrated film in fact i have ever seen .The princess bride is by far superior to this megabudgeted crud and was much more memorable! Stay away from this overlong stinker!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome Job! Awsome Movie!
Review: This is by far one of the best movies this year. The graphics were incredible, the costuming fantastic, and the cast great. We saw it twice on Sunday and it was better the second time around. I can only home that when the Haunted Mansion comes out later this fall it can hold up to this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT'S BEEN OUT FOR SEVEN DAYS AND I'VE SEEN IT 4 TIMES!!!
Review: Ok, First let me explain that I am not usually a movie goer. The crowds are big, the food is expensive, and the seats aren't as comfortable as my couch at home, BUT...this movie has been completely worth every second I have spent in that theatre this week. Pirates of the Carribean offers non stop action with great special effects, wonderful actors, and a good storyline that keeps you interested throughout the 2 and 1/2 hours that it runs. Johnny Depp gives his best performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, the roguishly charming and washed up pirate who crosses paths with a local blacksmith Will Turner (played by Orlando Bloom). Together they set out to rescue Will's kidnapped girlfriend Elizabeth and gain control over Jack's ship, the BLACK PEARL, which was stolen from him by his mutinous first mate, Barbossa (Geoffery Rush)and his ghostly crew, all cursed by ancient stolen treasure. Depp is hilarious, and makes the movie his own. 5 STARS! WONDERFUL! I hope there is a sequel and will probably blow the wad yet again to go see it a 5th time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best summer movie so far. Next to Nemo.
Review: I have to be honsest I wasn't expecting much. I am always iffy about movies produced by J. Bruckhimer, they are usually filled with more explosions than characters. While this movie does offer some good swash buckeling action, it was the most fun I've had at the movies so far this summer. It was full of surprises and always being a fan of J. Depp, he pretty much carried the movie, but the supporting cast was really good to. Highly recommend it.
