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
Product Description
Pirates of The Caribbean UMD Movie From Buena Vista MODEL- 29473 VENDOR- UMD MOVIES FEATURES- "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of the Black Pearl" PSP UMD Watch movies on your PSP handheld with DVD picture quality in widescreen. This full length movie fits on a single UMD disc. Following his surprise-hit American remake of The Ring in 2002, director Gore Verbinski took on Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the second of recent films to be based upon Disney theme-park rides (the first being The Country Bears). When Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the daughter of Governor Swann (Jonathan Pryce) is kidnapped by a group of pirates led by Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and taken aboard their ship, The Black Pearl, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), the young man who loves Elizabeth despite the fact that she is promised to another, sets out to rescue her. But he cant do it alone, so he enlists the help of swashbuckling ship captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). Together the two chase after The Black Pearl, but they soon discover that the captain and crew arent your average pirates. Cursed to remain between the living and the dead, Barbossa and his men look like skeletons when basked in the moonlight. When it is revealed that the only thing that can break the curse is Elizabeths blood, Jack and Will are faced with a race against time and a battle against the undead to save the Governors daughter. * Starring: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Jack Davenport. -- SPECIFICATIONs --------------------------------

 The Best Blu Ray! May 6, 2009
The Tao of Netflix (Washington, DC)
Having grown up on the Goonies, of course this movie rocks. It is one of the best Blu Rays I've ever seen (picture quality), and has by far the coolest menu out.
The beginning of an action-packed series April 7, 2009
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
There's a reason why the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films are so popular . . . the action and adventures are endless! It's not just the unforgettable cast (Depp and Rush definitely steal the show as Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa), it's also the kick@$$ action sequences. The many battles in the Caribbean get the good ol' adrenaline pumping when they occur on screen. The music makes it even better: although I'm not a big fan of Hanz Zimmer, he really does know how to make some suspenseful Hollywood music. Humor has a wide range here: it's a Disney film, so there's bound to be comedic sidekicks and silly slapstick. I don't really care much for Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley, but they do add some nice touches.
This isn't for those who are in search of political or social implications. This is a high-octane action-adventure film that I'm sure a majority of the inhabitants on this planet enjoy watching.
Grade: A
Great Movie... Fun To Watch March 22, 2009
Buzz
Pirates, the often threatened, overwork, villians of the seas.
Would you belive that they finally made a good movie 'bout them. Not only that, but guess where it came from... Disney?!?!?
One of those movies you buy, and watch over, and over again.
Aimed toward the family, but Disney's most Action packed yet.
Fun to watch movie- makes you crave 2&3.
And you'll be trying to pun Jack Sparrow's signature swagger. All the acting was super-well-done.
Give it Four and a Half if I could.
The First and the Best March 18, 2009
The JuRK (Our Vast, Cultural Desert)
I'm amazed that Hollywood finally made a decent pirate movie.
When I was a kid, SWASHBUCKLER (1976) was a major disaster. Robert Shaw, riding high after the biggest summer blockbuster ever, JAWS, starred in a pirate movie that killed any hope of this genre setting sea ever again. I can't remember when Roman Polanski directed PIRATES but it also sank into the abyss.
When I'd heard that a movie was coming out based on the Disney ride...I had doubts. But then Johnny Depp was starring, so I figured there would have to be something interesting to attract him.
It's a fun summer movie. The story is constructed like an amusement park ride, more for effect than any real thought. The special effects are top-notch and there's enough humor to keep things sailing along.
