...up to fight against the pirates but then he meets Jack Sparrow(Johnny Depp) who is in search of the Black Pearl and all that changes!The Black Pearl is a ship which is crewed by pirates that are cursed for stealing aztec gold and they must return every single piece for the curse to be lifted. Will knows of the curse but doesn't believe it really untill he learns that he has the final piece of gold needed! The pirates come after him and a great battle ... ...watch the film because i don't want to give the entire storyline away! If you enjoy comedy, action, adventure and Orlando Bloom then you should watch this film, its great!!! This film lasts approximately 2hrs 45mins and is well worth 3pounds 50p at the cinema. I reccomend that you go and see it, you'll love it! It is rated 12A but you can go and see it if you're younger if you have an adult with you!
I went to see it with my best friend and she ...

Advantages: entertaining, watchable, for everyone! Disadvantages: no disadvantages
Pirates of the caribbean is very entertaining, it has a great storyline and great characters. If you are looking for a film with a bit of comedy, a great storyline, and a film that has you wondering what is going to happen next, then this is the film for you!
This film is definatly a film that all the family can watch, its a film that you can watch over and over again and can never get bored off. Johnny Depp was certainatly the best character of ... ...throughout the film and made us see he was just a loveable character after all.
Okay so the film is about pirates, it doesnt seem that interesting but it is bacause of the comedy that is in the film, its not like your average comedy, its not a film just to make you laugh its to tell you a story but in an entertaing way. ...

Advantages: A Good Laugh Disadvantages: not overly original storyline, consisting of the damsel in distress
...a friend insisted that "the pirates of the carribean" movie had to be watched; even if he had already seen it once before
to my surprise the storyline was actually credible, and there was humour spilling from the charectors. the rowdy and overly tipsy charector of johnny depp "captain jack sparrow" was the good guy bad guy playing on both sides! orlando bloom played the good guy will turner, a pirate rescued at sea by navel ships.
throughout the ... ...save the damsel in distress, pirates saving pirates! it does get a bit boring as everyone is saving everyone and only the bad guys actually end up dying, and the good guys live happily ever after! and the all too familier scene at the end of the film with the hero "will turner" getting his wish, and kissing the girl he so badly desired! ...

Advantages: Good fun Disadvantages: Slightly predictable
Pirates of the Caribbean is well worth a watch. If you are into your action adventure films where you just switch off your brain and watch, then you'll love it. Its not exactly anything different or groundbreaking, but it is pretty cool to see a hollywood blockbuster about pirates, a genre that has seen surprisingly few films in recent years. Johnny Depp is just ok, staggering around to compensate for his typically woeful attempt at an English accent. ... ...of the rings until someone actually pointed him out to me. The film is typical Bruckheimer, and the only thing that really annoyed me was the familiar theme tune (I think its almost the same as the one from con air, I'm not really sure). Its kind of like any Bruckheimer movie, except everyone wears pirate clothes and has swords. Worth watching once, but its not exactly outstanding. ...

Advantages: Fun, comic and hilariously acted Disadvantages: Difficult to find any, but will not meet everyones taste
Very seldom do I come out of a movie and think that I have to see that movie again, but here is one movie I will be seeing again and no mistake. Here we have a film that does not take itself to seriously but id played mainly for laughs, however the team manage to achieve this without compromising the need for a good story line or the quality of the script and acting.
The chief players in the film are Captain Jack Swallow (Depp, who is quite literally ... ...blacksmith, Elizabeth Swann (Knightly) daughter of the Governor of Port Royal and Captain Barbossa (Rush) ‘a man so evil hell itself spit him back out’.

Advantages: Johnny Depp is great in it!! Disadvantages: A little slow at the begining
All my friends had been going on about it so I decided to take the plunge. The film started a little slow for me but as soon as you met the main characters it really got going. It was what I would call a typical action packed movie for all the family with enough in it to entertain all with a story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl and then goes on an adventure to find her ang defeat the bad guys!!. Johnny Depp played one of his funniest roles yet ...

Advantages: Great adventure Disadvantages: The acting
I liked this film a great deal, but have to admit that Johnny Depp saves the film, he by far has the best lines and does the best acting. I feel he outshines the rest and even Orlando who I have enjoyed in other films, feels wooden next to Johnny. I can't even remember any of the other male actors in this it seems just to be Johnny and Orlando all the way through which is a shame.
I found the extras quite good on this one but i would have preferred ...

If you are fans of either two I would strongly advise a trip to see this... but note- this isn't the sort of film you could sit and pay half attention to- it does take concentration.

Advantages: Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp - need I continue? Disadvantages: Film too good - will have to pay to go again!
Pirates of the Caribbean is quite possibly the best film that I have seen this year. It contains elements of action, comedy and romance as well as the fantastic combination of Jonny Depp and Orlando Bloom. Depp steals the show as the charismatic (and slightly loopy) Captain Jack Sparrow, the ‘good’ pirate who helps Bloom to track down his true love and try to rescue her from the clutches of the ‘bad’ pirates aboard the Black ...
