Summary: Fun and Funny
Review: This is a fun adventure movie. Johnny Depp was great, as was the rest of the cast. It is not really a laugh out loud kind of movie, but it is a pirate movie with some laughs in it. It is sort of in the genre of Indiana Jones, and I think if you like that, you might like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Avast thar ye swab
Review: The funniest action packed pirate or adventure movie I have ever seen. Any fan of pirate movies will love it. It certainly is fun like the ride at Disneyland. Johnny Depp as always is wonderful making us believe in his character. He was the most unique pirate I have ever seen. After all how many pirates have you seen wearing eye make-up and sporting dreadlocks. And if that isn't odd enough he has a few expressions and movements that has one pondering his sanity.

The opening scene of him sailing ashore on a sinking ship is one of many that will make you laugh. The rest of the cast is great. I was especially impressed with Orlando Bloom's and Keira Knightly's support. All the rest the cast are well suited to their roles as well. The adventure that has them embarking on a voyage to recover lost treasure that is being guarded by a Ghost Ship is not at all predictable as one would expect. No it has a few twists and turns that make the movie all the more delightful. The costumes, sets, F/X, music, and direction are phenomenal. No one should be displeased with this DVD. It has a ship load of extras as well as sharp picture and sound.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well worth the money I spent on it.
Review: Johnny Depp does a great job in this swash-buckling action movie. It features a woman who is given a necklace with a spooky looking embelem on it. She does not know what the embelem is about, but some pirates looking for it, kidnap her when she refuses to return it to them.
The pirates are both pirates & ghosts. I love the way they just effortlessly transform from human to bone. I love how realistic & spooky looking the pirates are when they are just bones. The pirates are evil to the core, who don't care what they do to the girl or how cruelly they treat her.
Johnny is hired in as a captain of a pirate ship to go out to sea to find her & get her back. The action is good enough to keep you on the edge of your seat for a long time. The special effects are very well done, a little over the top at times, but not enough to really be a detriment to the movie.
At 143 minutes (2 h 23 m) it is very long & seems to move along slowly at times, but it is just building up steam & momentum. The fight scene with Johnny & the pirates is great as well, never a dull moment, & very well done.
The DVD itself is really good as well, 2 discs with a boatload of bonus materials, especially commentaries, deleted scenes, & extended scenes. It would be nice to have a trailer on the DVD, though.
I have seen the ride & been on the ride at Disney World, the movie does a good job of protratying the ride & translating it into a good movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Johnny Depp Impressive
Review: I am old enough to remember Johnny Depp on tv. He has certainly grown as an actor, his SAG win for this role proving that. Plus, he's gotten even better looking. Okay, to be honest, I could have just sat there and looked at him and Orlando Bloom for a couple of hours. The fact that they can both act is a big bonus, though.

Disney is to be congratulated on doing an unexpectedly fine job with the script and production. I guess they're not just about animation and theme parks after all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Depp is the best
Review: If you want a great family movie, this is the one. Pirates of the Carribbean comes to life from its original Disney World ride to take you on a thrilling journey with Captain Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly make a terrific love duo, but Johnny Depp and Geoffry Rush make it complete with their pirate personas. No better classic to bring to life than this one, highly recommended for the whole family to enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE this movie!
Review: I've seen this movie so many times I've memorized it! It is the best movie ever! All of the actors and actresses did great especially Johnny :) I hope everyone enjoys this movie, its my favorite of all time!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its a really great movie!!!
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl is a really great movie. I saw it twice in the movie thearter and I bought it on DVD. My whole family likes it. Johnny Depp was the best actor. Orlando Bloom was good too. It wasnt like a normal Disney movie. Some of the Scenes were from the ride in Disney World like the dog with the key in the jail. If you like pirate movies, Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp you will probably like Pirates of the Caribbean.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome Movie!!
Review: This movie was not what I expected when I went to see it. I didn't think it would be any good. But its really good. Disney Did a awsome job at this movie. One of the BEST!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: cool
Review: if Johnny Depp hadn't been cast as Cap'n Jack, this movie would have been a total flop. If Geoffrey Rush didn't have such talent with being all "arrrgh" and piraty, he would have been seriously dumb.
the special effects were........okay, they were fine, but the un-dead pirates reminded me of Imhotep from the Mummy. Too much.
Johnny Depp does such an awesomne job that you can't help but smile whenever he says something. especially his gestures and all that.
the one bad mistake was having ORLANDO BLOOM in it. I suppose they made a bunch of extra money from all the girls who came to see Orlando, but seriously, come on, he's an atrocious actor. You wonder, how on earth could Elizabeth possibly be interested in Will Turner after being around Jack Sparrow so much? At least Orlando's arrow shooting super-duper stunts in Lord of the Rings covered up for his bad performance in that.
overall POTC was good

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not a Tipical Disney Movie
Review: Whoa. This is one really good movie. Based on the Disneyland ride, Pirates of the Carribean delivers. This isn't a nice kid's movie. It's pretty intense - not really normal Disney.

Johnny Depp makes the movie. He plays Jack Sparrow, a strange pirate who is hillarious. He makes the movie funny, while the rest of the action has you wanting more. This movie also has Orlando Bloom, for all you Orlando Bloom fans.

The plot is well written. The special effects are spectacular. It looks scary real when the cursed pirates turn into the living dead. Great movie, so buy it.
