...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 ‘The ...
...we find out later the pirates need that medallion in order to break a curse on them. You see the black pearl isn’t any ordinary ship. It is a ship that can’t be seen, a ghost ship. I won’t spoil it and say how the curse came about but I will say that the pirates need the blood of the person who took the medallion. They manage to eventually get it from Elizabeth only to find that it isn’t her blood they need, it’s actually ...

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

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 well ...
...hours but is never once dull. The constant action sequences and humorous banter keep you glued to the screen from start to finish. Pirates of the Caribbean is therefore a classic film that everyone should see. "You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner. You're in one." ...

Drawing on scenes straight from the high points of the theme park ride itself, the attack is drawn to a premature halt by the claim for parle (an accepted Pirate code of conduct or something like that) by the kidnapped Elizabeth Swann. Playing her ace card, she threatens to hurl the gold medallion from earlier in the story over the side and into Davey Jones’ ...

So now, they are the living dead, and must return all the gold to the chest (plus maybe do something a little more…that’d be telling…) so they can go all human-like again. As the crew of the dreaded “Black Pearl” drift towards their quarry, unlikely alliances are forged, and ...

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 a ...

As I've ridden Pirates of the Caribbean in both Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in Paris (a number of times), I was actually delighted to see the amount of actual parts of the ride that make appearances into the movie. In the first shot of the film, a ghostly fog through which a young girl appears at the prow of a ship and is softly singing the song that the pirates sing on the ride. This song appears a couple of more times ...

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 the ...

The incident is seen by a new arrival to Port Orleans, who we soon discover to be the well known pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. He dives into the water and saves Elizabeth's life, only for Norrington to try and take him prisoner. From the opening scenes featuring the pirates, it is clear that Johnny ...

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 - the Curse ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...
...watched it again. Never having been a big fan of Disney films with cliched plots and lots of CGI I had decided to give it a miss when it came out at the Cinema, yet when I did actually watch it I was very pleasantly surprised. 'Pirates' to use its shorthand term, is a damn good film. You can't really write a review of it without using the term 'Swashbuckling' (what does that mean anyway?), it is a fine adventure, funny, easy to watch, an ideal film ...

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

...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 an amusement park ...
...whirlwind from start to finish: pirates and swordfights and skeletons and daring escapes. The comedy is mainly provided by Jack Sparrow. He’s funny, over the top and very theatrical, providing light relief also with his slightly confusing English accent which seems to be from Liverpool via Scotland and taking a quick detour through the East End. I think it’s safe to say, as many have, that Johnny Depp steals what is already a very good ...

I can honestly say it’s been a long time since I enjoyed myself so much at the cinema. Johnny the-amazing-non-ageing-man Depp’s renegade pirate captain is absolutely hilarious, the drunk, camp, Keith Richards of the seven seas, complete with comedy accent. He pairs up beautifully with the soft earnestness of Orlando Bloom ...

...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 ...
