...Gibbs The pirates of the Black Pearl kidnap Elizabeth Swann when it comes into harbour creating havoc. Will vows to get her back, as she is his childhood sweetheart and manages to enlist the help of Sparrow (who turns out to be the first captain of the Black Pearl, but he was tricked off the ship for being too trusting of his crew). The Black Pearl is cursed, however, as all the crew are between life and death having stolen Aztec gold. Their only ...
...Swann and retrieving all the gold. The story is pretty standard, told in tongue-in-cheek way. All performances were good and compared to any other film set on the high seas it is great. But the hype this film received harmed it, in my view. Hype can harm a film, and this film has had its fair share. Over hype is bad… very bad, because when you park your bottom on the chair in hope to view said over-hyped film, then you are expecting something big, ...

...and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Pirates of the Caribbean - The curse of the black pearl is as good as it gets when it comes to movies of this genre (possibly to the exclusion of Pirates 2). Why you say? Well knock me down with a wooden leg matey, cause you're just about to find out! Let's begin with the cream of the cast, if only because it's my review and I want to. Geoffrey Rush has a great time playing the stereotypical lootin', hootin', rum ...

This particular pirate however was opposed to the mutiny and, believing the crew should remain cursed, sent one of the pieces of Aztec gold to his son in the form of a medallion. What do I mean by this? Well, the plot thickens because in order for the thieving rogues to lift the evil eye, they must return every single coin from whence it came. Now do ya ...

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

Pirates Of The Carribean, I must admit, was not my first choice for a cup of tea and a trip to the cinema, but as I was going with a friend, I thought I'd see what it was like and I had to say, at least, it was a good film. Johnny Depp plays a character called Jack. He's, what we first assume, a no-good pirate who comes onto the island for nefarious purposes. Then we have the character played by Orlando Bloom, Will Turner, who, unbeknownst to him, ...
...when a young girl called Elizabeth took a treasure that is sought after by the dangerously evil pirate Barbossa. I won't say why he wants it, but let's say that his crew has a cursed secret. In the film, the acting is quite well done. I really thought that Jack would not be in the film for all that long until I discovered he was played by Johnny Depp. He actually has a score to settle with Barbossa because he was stranded on an island by him some ...

...Gattaca or Top Gun. Well Pirates Of The Caribbean may not be as innovative as Gattaca or emotional as Top Gun but this is definitely a modern day masterpiece that you definitely wont regret paying full price for. By the director of the popular horror film, The Ring, Gore Verbinski has delivered a spectacular film with a cast that some directors can only dream of. The up and coming A-List elf Orlando Bloom delivers a surprisingly good performance ...
...who plays the perfect love interest and Cap'n Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp. Mr. Depp delivers a stunning performance after a fair few years out off the movie making game in his come back film, and what a come back it is. His fabulously camp performance as the comical yet skilled pirate of the seven seas is one that simply does not disappoint. His cheeky little comments provide well-needed light relief in this otherwise generic pirate movie. ...

My buckle is well and truly swashed and my timbers are shivering more than a naked man in Reykjavik. In short this is a cinematic experience not to be missed. A film based on the ride of the same name at disneyland (although whenever I've been there it's been closed so can't say whether or not it is a faithful representation). potentially could have been awful but johnny Depp and a fantastic script make this THE movie of the summer. I won't beat ...
...Captain jack Sparrow. he gets the best lines and delivers them with such wit and timing to make it an oscar worthy performance (although I am pretty sure he won't get a look in when the time comes). there are three stories intertwined fantastically in the film. The first is a good old fashioned hollywood love story between Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley - of bend it Like beckham fame), will Turner (Orlando - legolas - bloom) and the commodore (Jack ...

...itself is fairly predictable, evil pirates kidnap a girl, man goes to save her blah blah, happy ending etc. and guess what? There’s a little love story in there too. However, the “baddies” have a slight twist of being ghosts because of a curse…hence the title “The Curse of The Black Pearl”. Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Chocolat) plays a pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, who comes across as being slightly drunk and a bit camp, he is very funny and ...
...son and that the evil pirates need his blood to lift the curse…or something like that. It’s quite hard to explain…just go and see it! The film is quite long but you don’t really notice when watching, the effects are rather good, especially when the pirates turn into ghosts. Although some small children may find the ghosts and fight scenes a bit scary. The storyline is somewhat strange but it has humour, pirates, ships, cool sword fights, what more ...
