Loosely inspired by the a Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When camp...
more...Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he's in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth's childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl's mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth's doubloon necklace, and when she's kidnapped by the ol' salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ship's curse.
Verbinski's PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, filled with rope-swinging heroes, crusty villains, treasure hoards, swift swordplay, and even wittier wordplay. Screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have crafted one of the most clever action-movie scripts in many moons, and this gives the filmmakers and cast (especially Depp) plenty of room to cut loose. Although the skeletal pirates may be a bit frightening for small children, there's lots of humour to temper the scary moments, making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL a nearly flawless fun film.

Advantages: enjoyable,quite humourous and great cast
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

...it. It is of course, Pirates of the Caribbean. *** A little about the film *** With it’s strong cast and fantastic crew, Pirates of the Caribbean was destined to be a major hit within the UK. There has been a lot of hype about the film and it’s made by no other than ‘Walt Disney’. Walt Disney have of course brought us films such as ‘Cinderella’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Bambi’, and ...

"Where's all the rum gone?"
Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD) by MI9to5

Advantages: Fantastic cast, unforgettbale characters and superb soundtrack
Disadvantages: NONE

Pirates of the Caribbean the Curse of the Black Pearl is a fantastic high seas adventure for the whole family to enjoy. It is up beat, humorous and doesn't take itself too seriously meaning it is a film that definitely should not be missed. Captain Barbosa is a cruel and wily man, who legend has it, commands the Black Pearl, a shop with black sails and crewed by the living dead. The charmingly roguish Captain Jack Sparrow however knows all too ... Read review

...is going to be on Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. For all you Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp fans out there, sit bums on sofas with bucket loads of popcorn and watch this movie!! In the usual style I'll begin with a few well chosen quotes from some film critics! "Peg-legs, parrots, hidden treasure, plank-walking, and plunging necklines... Now, that's what a pirate movie is about!" Staci Layne Wilson, FANTASTICA DAILY "Johnny ... Read review

...in the Peter Pan movie. Pirates just don’t seem to be anyplace in the wacky world of Hollywoodland. Thankfully, someone else has noticed this. All your murky maritime (and hence wet) dreams may come true* when you witness the only good movie ever to be based on a theme park ride. EVER!!! Avast ye, it’s The Pirates Of The Caribbean. ***ARRR!

Disadvantages: Bit long

...of late, and this - Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl. So is this film pants? Well, if those pants are the most smartly tailored, Saville Row type pants, then yes, yes it is. I am using the Northern definition of pants to mean trousers, not the Southern jessie definition of undies. I'd happily put these pants on again and again. Johnny Depp is the hard-drinking, morally suspect pirate, Jack Sparrow. Depp has created here ... Read review

...Turner, who is an ex pirates son, but only Elizabeth knows that as she took the only evidence which pointed to the link. The film moves on eight years, and we see that Elizabeth has blossomed into a beautiful young woman, who has caught the eye of the recently promoted Commodore Norrington, but Will also seems to be trying to cover up the feelings he has for Elizabeth out of respect for her standing within the community, of which he has become ...

'Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?'
Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD) by serza

Advantages: duh... Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom
Disadvantages: Too much eyeliner for a man!

What else is there to do on a Sunday afternoon when you’re a bit strap for cash and bored out of your head? Go to the cinema of course! As we stood in line at the cash desk, we scanned the film board for what was on offer. To say its summer I have found the latest films to fall very short of the "Summer Blockbuster" hype they accumulated in the weeks leading up to their release. It was my husbands choice to see "Pirates of the Caribbean ... Read review

Diamond review   Like Oh My God, Could A Pirate Be Any Hotter?
Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD) by BabyGirl

Advantages: Brilliant performance from Johnny Depp, great action, geniune pirate movie, funny.
Disadvantages: Nothing in my opinion.

I had wanted to see Pirates of the Caribbean ever since I heard they were making it. Being a fan of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, I honestly thought this film was not one to be missed, and it turns out I was right. I went in with very low expectations as I’ve learnt to do, what’s the point of having high expectations? Nothing lives up to it. Anyway I figured I would be staring at Orlando and Johnny just because of their looks but ... Read review

Has to be the best pirate I have ever seen...
Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD) by eljefe

Advantages: funny, light hearted adventure
Disadvantages: overly long, dodgy cgi

I still hadn't seen Gore Verbinski's (The Ring) 'Pirates of the Caribbean- the Curse of the Black Pearl' in its entirety this until last night, and the film has been out since last August. Yet, because it was the last week of term, and I couldn't be bothered to teach an annoying lesson of PSHE, I decided to let my year 8 tutor group watch this, and finished it off over the next few days. They all loved it, most of them had seen it before, and because ... Read review

...in breeches. I heard about Pirates of the Caribbean – The Curse of the Black Pearl (or PoC from here on in) ages ago in Empire magazine – mainly because they seem to have almost as much of a thing for Orlando Bloom as I do. There was much raving about how fabulous it was going to be – a visual feast and aural spectacular based on an, admittedly not good, Disney Land ride. Bit of an odd one that – basing an entire film on ... Read review

Disadvantages: What disadvantages?

...if you’ve ever ridden on Pirates Of The Caribbean, perhaps not one of Disney’s most thrilling rides (I’m a wuss), but definitely one of the most imaginative and enjoyable. So naturally, the only way to beat sailing through a storm to reach an island full of marauding pirates is to see someone else do it on a much bigger and better scale!

Disadvantages: I cant honestly think of one

...Monday I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean. My entire usual crowd of cinemagoers rushed to see this on its release date but unfortunately I was on holiday and I was gutted. I later arranged to go with another group of friends and I was so excited. For months I have watched the trailers on websites and it looked amazing, plus if the film wasn't up to much there was still Orlando Bloom to stare at so I wasn't too worried. I was extremely surprised ... Read review

Disadvantages: not too original

...I find a card with pirates as the motive, I think how he would love to have this. But, since that period, a years past by and I assume, the children I’m talking about, do not believe in Pirate Jack* no more. Legendary pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is left to die on an uninhabited island when his ship, The Black Pearl, is stolen by Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). He survives months on a deserted island without food or water, ... Read review
