...hell's breaking loose and scurvy pirates are running amuck in Port Royal. Elizabeth is captured and taken to Captain Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush - who I think plays a brilliant part.) The legendry curse is then proved to be true when the pirate crew change under the moonlight and are destined to live forever as the un-dead, unless the curse can be broken…
A rescue is soon underway after Will reluctantly joins forces with Captain Jack- who wants back ... ...everything from the way the pirates are dressed, to the skin and hair is spot on. And likewise with the special effects, all visual effects are pretty much faultless, a favourite part of mine is when the 'cursed pirates' are walking on the ocean bed - it's so good!
Everything from set design, to the music is near perfect, in-fact there isn't anything about this movie that I didn't like. So I'd definitely recommend that you add this little gem to ...

Advantages: Great film, Johnny Depp, Great music, Johnny Depp, Great special effects... Johnny Depp? Disadvantages: Not a lot really...
...you the thrilling tale of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is the first in the soon-to-be-completed trilogy about Captain Jack Sparrow, a rather quirky pirate who has recently escaped a deserted island and wants himself a ship. He wants to get revenge upon his mutineering crew and with just a pistol with a single bullet, he sets out. Captain Jack (Johnny Depp) finds himself in Port Royale and the story begins. A swashbuckling ... ...Other than that, the cursed pirates scenes were the main special effects scenes and they are outstanding. Very realistic undead pirates and even an undead monkey. Really creepily well made pirates, you wouldn't want to meet these down a dark alley, or in the street in broad daylight for that matter. Another thing that needs commenting on is the amazing soundtrack music composed by Klaus Badelt which carries the story along brilliantly. Really epic ...

...fellow reviewers…a cautionary tale….there be pirates in this review!!!!
The Pirates of the Caribbean has been reviewed many times on this site - but then came the rumours….
In taverns and ale houses and whispered in corners were murmurings of a lost third disc, cursed and destined to remain unreviewed…until now!
What is it?

Depp's arrival is so funny, I nearly choked on my popcorn (I won't give it away for those who haven't seen it!)
Elizabeth triggers a series of events by falling into the water whilst wearing the pirate medallion around her neck …and chaos ensues.
She is kidnapped by Captain ...

Advantages: Excellent in Every Way Disadvantages: None
...previously almost dead love of pirates and the sea, almost overnight. The Movie
Pirates of the Caribbean is a phenomenon. The loveable, yet decidedly bad, Captain Jack Sparrow [Johnny Depp] is the lead character. Jack's ship, The Black Pearl, has been stolen, after his crew committed mutiny and left him on an island for dead. Now, he is determined to get the Pearl back. He finds his way to Port Royal, home of Governor Swann [Jonathan Pryce] and ... ...Jack's mutinous crew. The rogue pirates ransack the town in search of a mysterious gold dabloon that Elizabeth is wearing around her neck. However, these pirates are most certainly not what they seem....
Elizabeth is captured by the crew, and taken back to the Pearl. There she meets Jack's former first mate, now Captain Barbossa [Geoffery Rush]. The crew comprise of a varied and often strange bunch, the most memorable being Pintel [Lee Arenberg] ...

Advantages: Everything down to the casting. Disadvantages: None
...before or after watching the pirates of the Caribbean. The title, Pirates of the Caribbean, didn’t draw me to the film as much as the under title “the curse of the black pearl”. After being drawn into this amazing one of a kind film by the title the storyline caught me. The plot consist of a hilarious quick witted pirate, Jack Sparrows,(played by Johnny Depp) teaming up with a good hearted man Will Turner, (played by Orlando Bloom) to search and ... ...has been kidnapped by the captain of the Back Pearl, Captain Barbossa. Captain Barbossa and his crew are cursed, not to live or not to die, leaving not many chances for jack and will to rescue Elizabeth easily. The plot is entertaining, different and like chewing gum for you eyes. Not once could I move off my seat until the movie had finished, or even bring myself to press the pause button. After being released in august 2003 the film has had over ...

Advantages: Johnny Depp back to entertain, great one liners, a film the whole family can enjoy Disadvantages: Nothing new
I was expecting great things from the latest addition to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise however, I have to say I was left feeling a little disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, Johnny Depp is still very entertaining as the happless and completely amoral Jack Sparrow, Keira Knightely still looks beautiful and Orlando Bloom has grown in confidence since his last outing as Will Turner, it's just there is nothing new.
Where the previous film ... ...the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow was now 'old hat' and he seemed at times to verge on just being silly rather than clever.
Nevertheless, if you are looked for a film that combines swashbuckling action, good humour and monstrous sea creatures and if you loved the last 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film then you'll undoubtedly enjoy this too.
Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan's wedding is cruelly interupted when they are both arrested and face the gallows ...

Wow what a film. Great for adults and great for kids. Johnny Depp at his camp sexy best. Orlando Bloom as never seen before and Keira Knightly to be enved by all woman. I loved this film. I watched it with my ten and six year old, we laughed, we jumped, we hid WE LOVED IT. Not very often I rave about films but this one is worth adding to any home DVD collection. although I thingkI might wait till all three filems are on DVD and buy the box set. Great ... ...what they do best. I loved the setting and I love the ship. The sound track is spectacular and the action non-stop. Easy for the kids to follow the story with hummor that will appeal to adults without the kids noticing. It has such appeal and full of fun The 3 main actors really work well togheter and appear to be enjoying thier rolls. I am not sure if showing it on telly will not ruin it as they are bound to cut some of it. Thumbs up all round!!! ...

Anything where the main character plays a camp, drunk pirate has to be good, and lucky us we were blessed with another. Johnny depp is perfect for this role, his obsession with rum, and just general character traits have been carried on nicely, he's stayed true to the character (which can't be easy to play).
i know there's been alot of hype about this film, and alot of people feel that they have been cheated once they watch it.
But i don't feel ... ...film, seemed well put together and everything flowed just right. there's violence, comedy, drama, a nicely linked in plot from the previous film. All i can say is, if you want to enjoy the film don't get sucked into the hype, you will only expect far more than there actually is.
enjoy it. ...
