Summary: Could have rented this instead of buying it....
Review: I think this movie is okay. Johnny Depp is excellent in this movie, but the story line gets old quickly. There are a few surprises in the end, but over all I was not impressed.

Review: POTC was sooooo much better than I had anticipated! I was definitely not let down by this movie! The graphics are outstanding and I've gotta give it up for the actors: perfect cast, perfect job! The storyline is easy to follow and ends brilliantly! One of the best movies I've EVER seen!!! Well worth the price and my time!

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This movie is really fun to watch. First of all great characters and actors, from Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom to Johnny Depp and Keira Knightly. Especially Johnny Depp is incredible, such a good characterization! Also the characterization of Barbarossa kind of reminds me off the Turkish Navy Commander in 15-16th centuries, sharing the same name with the character.The visual effects are really good, with skeletons and big ships. And the story is kind of fun, too. Well basically this is a good movie for easy going entertainment.

Summary: This is the best movie of the summer of 2003 besides X2
Review: If you think this movie is just another kiddie flick from Disney, then you either have no exposure to the media or you are completely prejudiced and narrow-minded about Disney for adults. This movie ROCKED! This is the second time I saw Johnny Depp. The first was in Edward Scissorhands. He was great in that but his role in Pirates makes his performance as Edward seem like Jerry O'Connel in Kangaroo Jack. This movie has it all: plenty of famous actors, Bloom for the teenage girls, Knightley for the younger ones, and a heck of a lotta action. Bring on the sequel! I hope they do as well with POTC 2 as they did with X2

Summary: A Very Enjoyable Movie!
Review: The Pirates Of The Caribbean is a high-seas, swash-bucking action adventure epic that became 2003's biggest surprise hit. Unleashed in the summer the film was set to become a success, but it went way beyond that by grossing more than $300 million at the US Box Office alone, and spending month after month inside the Top 10. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer ("Pearl Harbor") and directed by Gore Verbinski ("The Ring"), "The Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl" is a film that will be adore by all generations. The story revolves around Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) who's idyllic pirate lifestyle gets turned upside down when his enemy Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal. Barbossa kidnaps the Governor's beautiful daughter (Kiera Knightley). In a desperate attempt to rescue both Elizabeth and the recapture the Black Pearl, her childhood friend and future lover Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) joins forces with Jack. The two set off on a suspense-filled adventure, but what they don't know is that a cursed treasure has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead. Granted, the plot isn't very intricate. It's very lightweight which is to be expected because this is a Disney movie aimed at it's target audience: children. The film incorporates many different themes which makes it highly enjoyable and successful in delighting so many viewers. Action, mystery, humour, romance and the unforgettable characters all add to the film in making this a particular stand out film from the past year. The special effects in the movie are also worthy of high praise. They are superbly produced and you can tell that a lot of thought and effort has gone into them. The fight scenes are brilliantly choreographed, and the location in which the film was shot is also extremely scenic and picturesque. Johnny Depp really does steal the show as Captain Jack Sparrow. His portrayal of Jack is both serious and light-hearted. It can be taken either way and he shines on both accounts. Orlando Bloom is good as the shy Will Turner. His love for Elizabeth is adorable in itself, if not for his photogenic screen appearance and rising celebrity following his role as Legolas in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy (2001-2003). Kiera Knightly works in superb contrast to the male leads in the film as the cheeky Elizabeth. Her upbeat nature and charismatic personality single-handedly supports a fraction of the film and keeps it going until the final scenes. The Special Features on this DVD are extremely worthwhile. They include: - Audio Commentaries
- Epic At Sea
- Diaries
- Fly On The Set
- Blooper Reel
- Pirates In The Park
- Below Deck
- 19 Deleted Scenes
- 'Moonlight Serenade' (Scene Progression)
- Image Gallery OVERALL GRADE: 8/10 The Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl was one of 2003's most successful movies and received rave reviews from critics and the public alike. However, I do feel that people went a bit over the top with this movie. Something like this hadn't come along in quite a few years, so people were so quick to jump on the bandwagon by branding it the best film in years. In reality, it's not. Don't get me wrong, it is a very enjoyable film, but somewhat overrated. The success of this film sealed possible doubts about a sequel. With more than $300 million grossed from America's wallets, a sequel is inevitable. Hopefully it will be just as enjoyable as the first.

Summary: A Pirates Life For Me
Review: I was skeptical about this movie when I discovered it was being made. Two reasons why? First, Pirates of the Carribean is my favorite ride. Second, Johnny Depp is my favorite actor. There was just something not right about it. Depp doing a high budget, Jerry Bruckhiemer produced, Disney inspired ride movie? However all my worries desserted me when I saw the film. It was a great movie with a dynamite cast and a good enough script to go along with it. Depp was so convincing as Captain Jack Sparrow that it didn't even look like he was acting at all. This movie made me feel like a kid again. Just the way "The Goonies" does whenever I see it. After watching the film I went to Disneyland a few weeks later. Usually when I go on the ride the line is 10 minutes. However this time I had to wait 2 hours, and I had a fast pass. There was something about the ride that was different, but in a good way. The movie made me enjoy the ride 10 times more than I had ever before. I was hoping that Captain Jack Sparrow would be in the attraction. Now there will be a sequel, that is undeniable considering this movie made $300 million plus at the box office. But I just hope that it at least is half as good as this one.

Summary: Depp's first great role
Review: Johnny Depp has his first great opportunity to add character to a character. This is reminiscent of Michael Keaton's role as "Beetle Juice" (Beetleguise) Depp makes this action comedy well worth owning. The DVD extras are a little over hyped, but neatly done.

Summary: The best movie I have ever seen!!!
Review: Omg I so love this movie. First off, it not only has Jonny Depp, but it also has (hott sexy Orlando Bloom). The 3-d visual effects were so awesome, it made you feel as If you were actually in that movie at that time. The movie is very deep, and mysterious, and it leaves you guessing what comes next. Besides what I have already said, it also has lots of adventure risk takings, and fighting, which is very unbelieveably awesome. Whoever doesn't like this movie shouldn't judge Pirates because of its title. This movie roxs my socks!!!
Later Gatorz!

Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean
Review: This has to be one of the best movies to come out in many years. They have proven that a truly awesome movie can be made without any sex, drugs or rock and roll. It's a movie for any age or gender...and there's not very many of those out there. Johnny Depp is at his best. He deserves an Oscar for this performance. A movie you wish would never end! Please say there's more to come!!

Review: Fun, fun, fun, fun.
No need to go into details and try to be Ebert&Roeper.
Believe me, I am a very fussy viewer, it takes a LOT to make me like a movie that long.
But this one? MAN, I bought it immediately after I saw it only once.
Really really wonderfull.
Again no need to some blah blah, Ebert kind of critique.
It's a wonderfull movie, as simple as that!
