You won't need a bottle of rum to enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, especially if you've experienced the Disneyland theme-park ride that inspired it. There's a galleon's worth of fun in watching Johnny Depp's androgynous performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, a roguish pirate who could pass for the illegitimate spawn of rockers Keith Richards and Chrissie Hynde. Depp gets all the good lines and steals the show, recruiting Orlando Bloom (a blacksmith and expert swordsman) and Keira Knightley (a lovely governor's daughter) on an adventurous quest to recapture the notorious Black Pearl, a ghost ship commandeered by Jack's nemesis Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a mutineer desperate to reverse the curse that left him and his (literally) skeleton crew in a state of eternal, undead damnation. Director Gore Verbinski (The Ring) repeats the redundant mayhem that marred his debut film Mouse Hunt, but with the writers of Shrek he's made Pirates into a special-effects thrill-ride that plays like a Halloween party on the open seas. Aye, matey, we've come a long way since Jason and the Argonauts! --Jeff Shannon

 Pirates of the Caribbean- a great movie!!! March 10, 2010
Blondie
This movie really is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's got great story, great characters, great humor, and great action. It even has a love story for the romantic types. :) It truley is entertaining. It rates right up there with Scfis like Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.
If you are thinking about watching this movie then please do it! I remember when I first seen it advertisted I thought, umm do I really want to watch a Pirate movie? But after watching it I was so impressed! It really isn't done cheesy at all like you see in the old pirate movies.
If I could give this movie more the 5 stars I would!!! If you are a Depp fan then you are sure to love his performance in this one!!!
Yo, ho, yo, ho, a pirate's life for me! Blu-ray review! January 25, 2010

The first in the Pirates trilogy and it's a swashbuckling romp. Johnny Depp is amazing in his role as the conniving Captain Jack Sparrow. The special effects are amazing and draw you into the story as the curse is revealed in moonlight. The story is rich and the acting from all, outstanding. It's a fun adventure that you can watch over and over again!
NOW FOR MY BLU-RAY THOUGHTS: ABSOLUTE WOW!!! The best transfer possible. Amazing clarity and color. The image pops off the screen. The sound is amazing and pounding. As for the extras...all from the dvd release and more! Interactive menus that will blow you away. FINAL VERDICT: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THIS IS THE BLURAY TO OWN! DEMO DISC!!! GET IT!

Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl is such a wonderfully filmed movie. The scenery, props, costumes... everything fits so perfectly to make the Disneyland theme ride come to life in a totally fantastic way. Of course the acting is amazing - how could it not be with Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom in the leading roles? I've been a fan of Johnny Depp for a long time and enjoy that he selects off beat characters to portray. Jack Sparrow is definitely my new favorite of all his characters. The Keith Richards movements, swagger and swashbuckling lingo all roll into one great pirate.

This is one of the best live-action Disney movies I have EVER seen! In the tradition of sword-slinging, gun-toting, cannon-blasting pirates with humour that you wouldn't necessarily expect, this movie brings the ever popular ride from both Disneyland and Walt Disney World to life in the most exciting way!
