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

...plot is quite simple; cursed pirates kidnap the girl of hero Will (Orlando Bloom)'s dreams and he rushes off to rescue her, with the aid of the dubious Captain Sparrow (Johnny Depp). These pirates look normal until moonlight hits them, when they are revealed to be skeletal monsters (with the aid of some impressive effects). The only trouble was once it was known that the pirates couldn't die the movie lost some of its edge, how can a battle be truly ...
...win. That said though The Pirates of the Caribbean is an enjoyable film with somethin to make everyone happy: a love story, special effects, fight scenes, action, adventure, you name it. If that's not enough it also has the excellent Johnny Depp, whose performance alone makes the movie worth watchin. Definitely one to see ASAP. ...

Sit back, put your feet up, turn down the lights because here comes Johnny...Depp that is having tremendous fun with a larger than life characterisation of a sexy, cheeky and outrageous pirate. I like JD because he appeals to both sexes for different reasons; also he doesn'y take himself too seriously, as he demonstrates to magnificent effect. The story is almost an irrelevance, but nevertheless the fact that there actually IS a story is a welcome ...

However, the crew of the Black Pearl are under a curse from their ill-gotten gains and are destined to become the undead. Sparrow and Tuner put together a motley crew of their own, commandeer a ship and set chase. Everything ...

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

What I expected from a pirate film was lots of swash-buckling tales and not a lot of action but this film has everything! It's great for all ages as the actions are funny for the young ones (and the older audience)... especially as Johnny Depp plays his character soooo well, at first I thought he was just drunk but then realised he's a bit mad too... there's also the one liners for the young adult - any age. It's a light-hearted action, romance and ...

A yound lady meets a son of a pirate when he's washed up beside their ship after his was attacked by pirates, they grow up together and appear to have that special bond but she's promised by her father to another affluent man. The tale tells of treasures and dangers that leave your imagination running wild, wishing you were there to join the adventure, although the marvellous ...

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

This is the first adventure of Captain Jack Sparrow, the greatest pirate ever who ever lived! Played by the acclaimed Johnny Depp, this film is great to watch for any age, nevermind the rating. It also features Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly as the main roles of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan. This film was created due to inspiration from a Disney park theme ride, as crazy as that sounds this is still one awesome film! Endulge in the life of Captain ...
...for his selfish own ends. Jack and Will set off to save Elizabeth from the evil pirate captain Barbarossa, and meet many problems along the way. This is the only good pirate film to date, and the only reason is because Johnny Depp creates one of the coolest characters ever! Anyone can watch and enjoy this film, reguardless of who and what you like. ...

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

I have just recently watch this film and I must admit I was not to sure before I watched it what it was going to be like, but I do live Disney films so I thought I would sit down and watch it, and I have to admit I am so glad I did watch it. It is just typical of Disney it is just really good. As usual Johnny Depp is great, he seems to get better as he gets older and his performance in the film was brilliant as was Orlando bloom. Although it is ...
...both adults and kids, it is actually really funny. It also as got a few twist in the film which take a while to be noticed. This film has got to be one of Mr Depp’s best films. I would definitely recommend watching this film and I know I will be buying it. ...

...Something sinister happens to the pirates of the black pearl whenever they are exposed to moonlight due to a curse which was put on them (i wont go in to detail so i don't give too much away), this however may be a little frightening for young ones but i watched it myself before i decided whether or not it was suitable for them. On the whole it is excellent to watch with young children and my youngsters thoroughly enjoyed it. And i have watched it ...

Pirates of the Caribbean is great entertainment for all the family. It has witty one liners and keeps you gripped the whole way through. Johnny Deppe is a monster of a pirate who sends fear into all who crosses him. Great action and fighting scences which make you feel almost a part of the film. Initially thought it was going to be just another pirate fiasco, but I was clearly wrong. The spookiness of the film and the special effects was brilliant ...

...Such scenes as when the pirates turn into skeletons and when you see skeletons walking under water at the bottom of the sea just make you feel that these kind of graphics were out years ago! Johnny Depp, using his rough and recognisable Essex accent is the main viewpoint in this movie - looking harshfully at fellow pirates who dare to challenge him - though he can be a comedian at many times in the movie. The main actors is the cast are:- Keira ...

Pirates of the Carribean has got to be in the top 10 of this year's best films. The intrigue of pirates and the idea of the Black Pearl, a pirate ship being run by the dead, is definitely enough to keep your kids fascniated for hours! The good thing with this film is that there is enough good quality comedy in this to make the film very entertaining for everyone over the age of 12 too! Johnny Depp gives an amazing comic performance in this. If you ...
...as he shows he is just if not more talented at comedy than he is at dramatic works. Orlando Bloom also puts in a good performance, and having Orlando Bloom might also tempt any teenage girls in your family to come along too! Definitely a film you can all enjoy together! ...

To fans of orlando bloom, and johnny depp, this film is sent from heaven. The plot is thick, and the film isn't too long that you start to get bored of the pirate antics. Special effects in the film are amazing, whole bodies change into withering skeletons before your eyes!! The soundtrack choice helps to emphasize the action scenes. Unlike some action films, this film is quite unpredictable, and well worth a watch or two!! Interesting insight into ...
...to that of a rich family who have everything they've ever wanted. Perfect little love story between a "princess-type woman" and a blacksmith.When she gets kidnapped it is he who goes after her, along with the drunken pirate- captain sparrow on a stolen ship. How they get the stolen ship is very funny and somewhat clever. As you watch the film, you slowly learn more and more about captain sparrow's past. This film is definately a hit for me, and ...

...off him and his fellow pirates only to find out the jack has the curse too. For me i think Gore Verbinski (director) has done really well and was better than "The Ring". Its full of action, romance and comedy in one, there is quite abit in this film but after the 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th im still watching it as its that good, must admit keirs knightley (Elizabeth), orlando bloom(Will turner(, Johnny Depp(jack sparrow) & Geoffrey Rush ...
...i really enjoyed it. The main plot is the jack sparrow goes after the black pearl with a new look crew, captain barbossa gets the curse lifted from him ad his crew, will has been in love with elizabeth since they were small the they fall in love. I bought this sometime last year and it only cost £9.97 at asda. one to watch folks, ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

I'm sorry I couldn't concentrate on the plot as I have now discovered Orlando Bloom. He is so completely diffeerent to his character in Lord of the Rings. Actually it is a very good film - one the whole family would enjoy. The special effects are superb, if not a little scary in places. I was a bit disconcerted to see someone out of "The Office" in it but on the whole the acting was great, reminiscent of the old black and white, swashbuckling stuff ...

AFTER SEEING THIS FILM FOR THE 6TH TIME YESTERDAY, I THINK IM QUALIFIED NOW TO GIVE A PRETTY GOOD REVIEW! JOHNNY DEPP IS GORGEOUS ORLANDO BLOOM IS GORGEOUS FOR ME, THAT JUST ABOUT COVERS IT. BUT I KNOW I HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT THE FILM TOO, SO HERE GOES. IT'S LONG, VERY LONG, BUT AS WITH TWO TOWERS, YOU JUST DONT NOTICE THE TIME GOING BUY! NOW I'M NOT CLAIMING THAT THIS IS A LITERARY MASTERPIECE ON A PAR WITH LORD OF THE RINGS, BUT IT IS JUST AS ...
...HIS USUAL INCREDIBLE SELF, AND AS THE SLIGHTLY INSANE JACK SPARROW, HE COMES UP TRUMPS AGAIN! THE SCENE WHERE HE GETS STRANDED ON THE BEACH WITH MISS ELIZABETH IS WORTH THE TICKET MONEY ON ITS OWN. ORLANDO BLOOM AS WILL TURNER, STARTS OFF SLIGHTLY DIPPY AND WET, BUT AS THE FILM PROGRESSES, WILL GROWS INTO HIMSELF MORE AND BECOMES THE SEXY CONFIDENT MAN WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. KIERA KNIGHTLEY IS WONDERFUL AS THE FEISTY ELIZABETH. THIS IS THE FIRST ...
