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

The Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl is, as everyone probably knows by now, inspired by the successful ride at Disneyland. It was released in 2003 and was directed by Gore Verbinski (the man behind The Ring and The Mexican). I remember being in a complete sulk when I went to see this, because me and my mam had promised to have a girly night together to see Legally Blonde 2 (I know, I know), but she insisted we seen this instead. ...

Will Turner has seen this and, feeling he has no other choice, he goes to Jack Sparrow for help. They set out on a journey to save Elizabeth, but Jack wants to get something else back that was once his. Here's a little bit about the characters: Jack Sparrow Captain Jack Sparrow was ...

...resist any longer. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN was originally inspired from the Disneyland Ride but with a couple of hours of laughs, thrills, action and fun sat at home on a sofa, who needs a plane ride? It used its great characters to slip something special into the film every step of the way. I, like many beleive that great films are made by great actors, and a great action-packed film like this must have a great bad-guy. This whole film could have ...
...magnificant role as the ghostly Captain Barbossa. His skill in balancing evil with intelligence and humour alongside Jonny Depp made both central characters that much more interesting. The supporting cast were also superb with the ever beautiful Knightley showing us that she's not just another pretty face. That's not even to mention the great crowd of pirates, mutineers and buccaneers who gave the film that little bittle extra that constantly kept ...

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

...definately for you. Pirates of the Carribean is an excellent pirate movie laced with romance, alot of comedy and more action than a man utd. football match. Starting at the beginning the story tells you of how two of the three great stars actually met. This triggers the start of an excellent adventure set several years later. With the arrival of the pirate Jack Sparrow (you know who he is) on a sinking ship into the harbour of a small peaceful ...
...I will just say after pirates of the Black Pearl invade this settlement and kidnap the daughter of the admiral. Jack Sparrow (sorry Captain Jack Sparrow ) and a companion are forced to go after the Black Pearl and rescue the lady. Simply this film is a horrowing tale of pirates with plenty of swashbuckling action and more laughs than Jasper Carrot. A truely brilliand must see film. ...

Geoffrey Rush held his own and almost stole a scene or two - not easy against the fantastically overblown Depp. Keira Knightley was excellent too but I'm afraid that Orlando Bloom was seriously ...

Who would believe he wasn't really a pirate! Up and coming star Keira Knightley gives and spectacular and astounding performance, this girl is set to make it big! Classic beauty and raw talent combined. Orlando Bloom is an oggle worthy candidate for women old and young, one of ...

Bought this film on a whim really. Wasn't sure what it would be like but heard it was supposed to be good. Well I'm now happy to confirm that it's brilliant. A little background - I am lucky enough to have a 7ft cinema screen in my lounge with full Dolby surround from 7 speakers so it's just like being at the cinema only with very comfy seats. I have 2 children - aged 7 and 2 years and we sat down to watch this as a family. The nitty gritty - It ...
...were hooked from the start. Jack Sparrow is a brilliant character, a very mad one, but brilliant &andis very well cast. The story line and music was great too. When it came to special effects they were amazing. Especially the skeletons/half men. The monkey was great too. There was lots of fast action with fighting but also a love story thrown in. My 7 year old loved it and has already watched it again. We all have. I definately recommend this to ...

...may not be that brilliant. Pirates of the Carribbean is a great film, the acting done by Johnny Depp is superb. Anyone who hasn't watched this film should buy it as soon as possible. It's a comedy/action/adventure/romance all made into one film. Orlando Bloom is a great actor, though not as good as Johnny Depp but a close second. Geoffery Rush played the evil Captain Barbossa realistically. The special effects were amazing and I thought it was funny ...

He is in love with the Governors daughter who is kidnapped by the evil captain Barbossa. Will Turner, with the help of Captain Sparrow sets off to find her. ...

...your favourite you will love Pirates of the Caribbean! Captain Jack Sparrow (Johhny Depp) is a rougish yet charming captain with a wonderful accent who is determined to get his Black Pearl (ship) back from Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). I hear that Depp based his role on a member from the Rolling stones, whether this is true or not i do not know!Barbossa in former times stole the Black Pearl from Sparrow and later attacks the town Port Royal where ...

A very different film but with amazing shooting and great acting. It is a suspense filled adventure, sword fighting and swash buckling ...

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

From the hype I expected exactly what I got - a fun family film, almost a satire on pirates. Johnny Depp was very funny (he played his part very tongue-in-cheek) and was not meant to be taken seriously as none of the film was. It was meant to be good fun with a little action, romance, etc, all the usual things thrown in. If you went to see this film expecting something serious e.g The Ring then you completely missed the point! Orlando Bloom is still ...
...slipped once or twice, I can name well known and experienced actors who have done worse. Keira Knightly was suitably attractive and again can benefit from experience but everyone seemed to be having fun when they filmed this and I found the attitude infectious. My son(9), my daughter(15) and even my husband all wondered how the time had passed so quickly. We would definately buy this on DVD and enjoy a fun, light-hearted evening. ...

...type one, animated... hmm!! Pirates of the Carribean is such an excellent movie. The storyline is exciting throughtout, leaving you not knowing what will happen. Johnny Depp is the star of the show, with an excellent interpretation of his character. He constantly has witty and funny lines, making the movie very enjoyable. Even though its rated a 12, i would recommend it as a family movie, as i dont recall any bad language or inappropriate scenes, ...
...is not scary for children, just adds to the excitement of the movie. I bought this DVD when it was around £16.99, which was a bit excessive! The DVD includes many extras on a second CD, including i think its 3 feature length commentarys, and many very interesting features of how the film is put together, the actors on set, and an amusing 'blooper reel'. Overall i highly recommend this movie, as it is very enjoyable and you can watch it again and ...

Ok, the film was an all round good movie, so long as your not expecting great acting or a believable ending. The storyline was good and i feel the film will be good for any age. The action scenes were great with some really well planned swordplay(I luv sword movies), but the acting was let down hugely by Johnny Depp who was completly unbelivable as a pirate and and actor.(he really let the whole film down) The ending was really poor, but we will ...
...to while away a couple of hours then this is for you. The filming was of a great standard as is the acting of Orlando Bloom and the heroine is a honey.The special effect's were excellent with the ghostly crew being among one of the best effects I have ever seen. All in all watch it and enjoy, just dont allow your expections to ruin the movie. ...

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

Pirates Of The Carribean - the best comedy I've seen in a long while. Starring Johnny Depp, Kiera Knightly and the ever gorgeous Orlando Bloom, the cast ensured a measure of success. But just how good was the movie? The film itself had a fantastic storyline that ran from beginning to end, unlike other films of similar content that seem always to get lost somewhere in the middle. The movie follows Jack Sparrow (Depp) and his quest to get the ship ...
...under the tyrannical reign of Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) whose quest for gold sets off a chain of events that leads to the thrilling climactic battle over the ship. Bloom, as Will Turner, provides a fantastic hero, out to rescue the damsel in distress (Knightly) but ultimately it is Depp who steals the show. His performance is believable and hilariously funny, if slightly camp. The script is fast paced and never allows the viewer to be distracted. ...
