Action & Adventure > Depp, Johnny Action & Adventure

Great Films

Advantages: Great Storyline
Disadvantages: I feel the ending was slightly rushed.

Excellent Trilogy, it is one of my personal favourites of all time. I would recommend it to anyone of any age. There are a few scenes a of violence but there is nothing terrible or life changing in it. The films are very watcheable and addictive with a thriling storyline. The films are full of great special effects, sometime it leaves you wondering whether it's actually real as it's so convincing. Amazing characters, for instance Davy Jones looks ...

A film to be watched over and over !!!

Advantages: its is just an excellant film ... what more can i say?
Disadvantages: it is in my opionion addictive

...in order to keep the pirates in line. Elizabeth follows her heart and really shows off the romance in the the film which only adds to the already fantastic qualities the film possesses. Geoffrey Rush "Captain Barbosa" Captain Barbosa is whats known as the bad guy of the film. He is led by greed and spite. Barbosa and his bunch of wicked mis-fit pirates are cursed from aztec gold that Barbosa led them to, now the crew and Barbosa are forced to ...
...barbosa steals the Black Pearl from Jack Sparrow and sets upon a quest to recover all of the aztec gold in order to lift the curse, yet as well all know it really never is that simple!!! THE FILM ... The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski and is 137mins long. It is rated 12 due to moderate horror and cation violence. This film is amazing, with its special effects leaving the viewers in amazment as to how well the ...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD)

Certainly not the end of the world

Advantages: Captivating, intriquing storyline and unpredictable
Disadvantages: Some scenes were too long

...to go and see The Pirates of the Caribbean for it’s UK premier along with my twelve year old daughter and her friends, I was uncertain for two reasons. One, I had had a very late night the previous night and two, I had not seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Dead Man’s Chest. After settling myself down for the three hour stint and enduring the big feature previews, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film held my attention well. Having omitted ...
...to the preceding sequence of events, but the assumptions I made during the movie helped fill in the gaps reasonably well and the film was not too hard to follow (I understand some people find the plot very confusing anyway and I confess, I didn't fully understand the story in it's entirety). The first thing that caught my attention was the magnificent set, CGI generated of course but the artistry and design skill of the film makers were tremendous ...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - At World's End (Blu-ray)

Johnny Depp As You've Never Seen Him Before!

Advantages: Some tension
Disadvantages: Very slow

...in so I thought that Nick Of Time must have been a low budget, straight to DVD film and guess what… I was right! Unfortunately starring Johnny Depp and the excellent Christopher Walken just isn’t enough to save this movie from being a bit of a washout. From the synopsis I thought that although it was likely to be a low budget thriller, from the A-List cast I thought that it may just be a diamond in the rough and not the budget bin filler it was ...
...cheap feel to it right from the start, it was made in 1995 so it’s obviously a little dated but straight away when the credits came on I got the feeling that it was likely to be a little substandard and lacklustre as so many straight to DVD movies are. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a bad film, far from it actually and at times it shows real potential but I feel that if a bigger budget were issued and the story was revised a little then it could ...

Review of Nick Of Time (DVD)

Captain Jack and His Jar of Dirt!

Advantages: Great story, super acting, quite funny in places
Disadvantages: None

After loving the first Pirates film I just had to watch the second! The second in the series is called Dead Man's Chest and again it stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. The film starts with Elizabeth and Will trying to get married but before this happens Will is arrested and so is Elizabeth. They are sentenced to death for helping pirates. Will manages to evade the death penalty by agreeing to help capture Jack and return a compass ...
...of Davey and the other pirates who were part of his crew were all very good and sometimes they were quite scary. I did jump more than once when they would suddenly appear from walls and unusual places. I liked the way they had body parts turned into sea creatures from being under the sea for so long, this was a great way of portraying their punishment. The effects in the film were all very good and very believable. My Mom watched this film several ...
