Summary: A Fan From Illinois
Review: This is a great movie!! A must own for Johnny & Orlando fans. I bought the DVD without seeing it first & I'm so glad I did! Awsome special effects & Johnny Depp outdoes himself. Even though the Oscar did not go to him, he finally got recognition for his great work! I'll watch this one over & over!! The entire cast was wonderful & JD is a great Captain. I could not imagine anyone else in that role. Keep up the good work Johnny! I just hope the sequel can hold up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great movie
Review: This movie is fantastic. Johnny Depp is brilliant in this movie. Orlando Bloom , although not as good as Depp, is still as good as he was in Lord of the Rings.

The plot is great, the cast is great, everything's great. This is worth every penny of it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting
Review: Well first off i used to think pirates were a cheesy thing to write a movie bout, but this movie has changed my thought. I think the whole thing bout the pirates fits this kinda movie very well. The whole plot interests me wich keeps me wanting to know why aand how they made this movie wich brings me to my conclusion they probably had a very good reason!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Someone PLEASE give Johnny Depp an Oscar!!!
Review: I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. He is great in every movie he's in, even if the movie itself is not that good. He's great in this movie as well and it is good. The plot may be fairly thin (was it really a shock to find out that Barbossa was the traitorous first mate?) but this is an action/adventure movie, not a drama, so the hell with the plot. Geoffrey Rush shows why he has an Oscar. The man can play a great villain. Orlando Bloom is beginning to show signs of typecasting (although he's not an elf in this movie, he is an action-oriented character like Legolas) but he's a decent action star, so maybe he should run with that. Certainly is a better actor then that lump of uncharasmatic mud, Vin Diesel. Jonathan Pryce is one of my favorite character actors and he is great in this film as well. My only complaint is the talentless Keira Knightley. Her only claim to fame was looking enough like Natalie Portman to be cast as her double in Star Wars Episode I. Why the filmmakers decided that her limited screen time in that movie deserved to be turned into an extensive film career I have NO idea. I was hoping her character would die during the movie to nix any chance of her appearing in a sequel, but alas, it was not to be. Is it just me or does the up and coming crop of actors and actresses look just absolutely pathetic? We went from Charlie Chaplin, to Orson Welles, to Marlon Brando, to Jack Nicholson, to Harrison Ford, to Johnny Depp, to......Ashton Kutcher. Excuse me while I go puke.

Summary: It's all fun until somebody gets hurt
Review: "Pirates of the Caribbean," as I'm sure many of you know, is a story about a fine shipping vessel, the Black Pearl, how its crew held an Aztec fishing village at ransom, and how this led to the ominous curse that darkens my life to this day. What I can confirm, however, is the absurdity Disney has stretched and sensationalized my story into an epic adventure movie and animatronic boat ride. As for the history of the curse, the narration delineated by Barbossa's actor remains fairly accurate. Yes, there is a secret treasure on an island no vessel can find. Yes, it bears a terrifying curse that makes men live eternally and expensive food taste bland. But no, there was never a Jack Sparrow, a Will Turner, or a Keira Knightley. The Black Pearl and its crew were never destroyed, and nearly every event witnessed in this film, save the pillaging of Port Royal, was fabricated by screenwriters. Finally, while my shipmates and I live an unending, unpleasant existence, we are not the walking dead, nor do I believe in such tommyrot. In the light of the full moon, one will see my flesh and muscle tissues like every other being. This unfair addition to the tale is just the sort of garbage parents in my neighborhood tell their children when they misbehave. This spook story is bold-faced discrimination for the purposes of popular entertainment.

In short, the tragedy of my five-hundred-year life has been augmented by this movie into unparalleled depths. With the possibility of a sequel or trilogy stemming from this film, I could be forced to relocate into a less Hollywood-influenced community. Therefore, and not to the discredit of actors or cinematographers themselves, I am giving this movie the lowest possible rating. For me, the only curse worse than the Black Pearl's is "The Curse of the Black Pearl."

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Widescreen vs FullScreen
Review: To the reviewer who was complaining about Pirates of the Carribean being "widescreen" and not "fullscreen"

1) If you had a widescreen TV it would almost fill the whole screen (2.35:1 aspect ratio is a little wider than 1.78:1)
2) If you have a 4:3 TV, the fullscreen version would chop so much off in order to make it fit, you would miss a lot of the action.
3) People want "widescreen" movies. In a few years - widescreen TV's will be in the majority. Those of us who have purchased widescreen movies - won't have to buy our video collection all over again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Movie, Not Great
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean is hailed as one of the best movies of 2003. When a young woman bearing the final piece of cursed Azteckian gold is kidnapped by those under the curse, a boy madly in love with her joins Captain Jack Sparrow, a fugitive pirate, to save her. A great movie full of excitement and edge-of-your seat drama, Pirates of the Caribbean is a must own to any DVD collection. Johnny Depp delivers an excellent performance which earned him a best actor nomination for the film, skyrocketing him back into the lime light. the ensemble cast includes Johnny Deppy, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Kiera Knightingly, while produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible film!
Review: This is a wonderful movie. The animation and special effects are amazing, and the performance is terrific. The locations are beautiful, and the writing is excellent. I don't think this movie could be cast better. Johnny Depp is perfect for his part, as well as all the other actors. The storyline is brilliant. The costumes and props are incredibly realistic. The bonus features let you see how the movie was made in many different forms.
