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

...I did it! Pirates of the Caribbean had the potential of being a slow, predictable and pretty poor movie, but with the likes of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush in such fine form you can watch this many times over, and still love it. The big names on the cast really do themselves justice, and certainly live up to their worldwide reputations. When Keira Knightley shamefully gets kidnapped, feebly brave Orlando Bloom rushes ...
...an hilarious, swashbuckling old Captain, and together they defeat the evil of Captain Barbossa and his legendary ship The Black Pearl where Keira Knightley has been taken. This is a movie you can sit through and not notice the time fly by, like so many dissappointing films have done in the past, and still leave you yearning for more. It earns the description as a 'classic' rightfully and some of the acting is pure memorable. Anyone who doesn't appreciate ...

Love it! Johnny Depp is just brilliant, as is Geoffrey Rush as his nemesis Barbosa. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley serve rightly as the 'pretty couple'. Overall a real fun, swash buckler film that takes you back to the old days when pirate movies were the norm in Hollywood. ...

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

...(a scene of some jailed pirates trying to attract the dog that carries the cell keys is the most obvious one). But together with Stuart Beattie and Jay Wolpert they've fashioned an elaborate scenario combining a cursed pirate treasure, youthful romance and a "Flying Dutchman"-style ghost ship. The story opens in Port Royal, where bewigged British Governor Swann (Jonathan Pryce) intends for his daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) to marry the stuffy, ...
...(Orlando Bloom), a humble blacksmith whom Norrington and the Swanns had saved from a shipwreck years earlier. Into this domestic imbroglio comes Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), a very peculiar pirate captain who aims at taking over one of the British ships for purposes of his own. He's captured after a high-flying swordfight with Turner (far more enjoyable than the gymnastics in that bomb "The Musketeer"), but before he can be executed the port is attacked ...

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

Miss Elizabeth Swan as a child was intrigued with pirates. She has an opportunity to save one. In the process she pilfers what looks like a piece of pirate gold. This simple act will lead to death and destruction, or romance and intrigue. This well paced movie has every cliché ever spoken in the classic pirate movies. It also has all the elements, gold, and sub-plots, and is sure to point them out to you should you miss one. This is a well designed ...
...as using real pistols from the era. There are several crews and you will notice that the extras change from one scene to the next. They did not skimp on the actors either. As with pirate movies of old the main actors took the lion's share of the action. Of course you will have your eye on Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), his cronies and adversaries. However I was surprised to see their good taste in giving Guy Siner the part of Harbormaster; you ...

Well lets see, You've got a great lead actor in Johnny Depp, whose new life in France seems to have fuelled those creative juices of his. This girls will love his looks, the lads will laugh at what has previously been an underestimated comedic side. He nailed this character, he has all the looks of a sexy bad boy, but has a hilarious "London" accent (the one he used in "From Hell" with Heather Graham but shouldn't have) I'm not sure how many of ...
...did them. Orland Bloom, the token eye candy for the girls, there is no way he is as good in this as he is in the Lord Of The Rings but he does a great job with the swordfighting scenes, he's obviously talented in choreographic maneouvers. Keria Knightly, One of the new breed of Englsh actors to take hollywood by storm and she does a fab job in this. Her comedy timing is immpoeccable and she does a great job in representing British talent (No mention ...

Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp and Kiera Knightley add excitement to the storyline, and without these fantastic actors/actress Pirates of the Caribbean would not be that enjoyable. Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) adds humour and depth to the film, and makes you laugh with his strange antics throughout. The love interest between Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann adds a romantic side to the action. Definately a must see!! ...

...I have to admit that Pirates of the Caribbean has got to be the best film I have seen this year. It is a sort of film that when you watch it once you have to watch it again and again, it is just so good. Kiera Knightley about a little girl on a ship called Elizabeth Swann plays it, out with her father and his crew. When they come across a boy floating in the water called Will Turner. When Will was unconscious. She becomes aware of a necklace around ...

Before the black pearl comes, Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp turns up on the scene to claim his boat back from Barbossa played by Geoffrey Rush, who is now the captain. Before Jack can go after the black pearl he saves Elizabeth and is then noticed by Norrington to be a famous pirate. When escaping we ...

There is plenty of piracy, gold and treasure, drinking, sword and gun fighting, romance, humour and magic throughout the 140 minute Certificate 12A epic. The story line keeps you guessing who is on whose side and the outcome is always in doubt. The special ...

Johnny Depp is fantastic in this film…top marks and Keira Knightley obviously greatly increases the viewing pleasure of the film for the men out there, but she also plays her role exceptionally well. The plot is a bit tongue in cheek, but then what would you expect?! It’s absolutely great! The effects are also good. The fighting in the cave from darkness to light is superb (trying not to give too ...

What can I say? Johnny Depp doing his impression of your guy out of the rolling stones the whole way throughout this film........amazing. Great performances from young british newcomers, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom. This is a thinking mans swash buckling adventure with plenty of laughs and action sequences to make you feel that you have got your mony's worth. There's a nice little 90-minute B movie trapped inside the 143 minutes of "Pirates ...
...movie that charms the audience and then outstays its welcome. Although the ending leaves open the possibility of a sequel, the movie feels like it already includes the sequel; maybe that explains the double-barreled title. It's a good thing that Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Depp are on hand to jack up the acting department. Their characters, two world-class goofballs, keep us interested even during entirely pointless swordfights. Worth a watch, the ...
