I like pirates who act this way. I like Depp who acts as a pirate acting that way. The story is great and the humor even greater. |

Although richly populated with a fascinating cast of swashbuckling characters, this first film is the franchise's simplest - driven by characters and a straightforward plot. Johnny Depp creates one of his most impressive creations - a half-drunk, flamboyant rockstar pirate captain that has now joined film's canon of most memorable characters. The rest of the cast, save from Geoffrey Rush, is somewhat wooden, but the bold action scenes and frequent asides of black humor make up for it. For a film initially based on a theme park ride, Pirates crafts a world of its own, full of fun adventure and romance. |

This movie is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney theme parks. It was directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The story follows blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) as they rescue the kidnapped Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) from the cursed crew of the Black Pearl, captained by Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). Incredible funny and well made, with a fantastic screenplay and visual effects.A modern adventure classic. |

What a Swashbuckling Adventure! |
|
Despite the fact that The Pirates of the Caribbean movies seem to get worse with every entry, it’s still one of my favorite modern day franchises. In a cinematic world filled with Transformers and Superheroes it’s actually quite refreshing to have a series of films that focus more on swashbuckling adventure then giant robots or men in tights.
The Curse of the Black Pearl is easily the best of the series. It has a very long run time, but doesn’t feel like it. It really is the magic of the world that pulls you in on this one. Most time piece movies nowadays are serious dramas (or awful like the recent Three Musketeers re-make.) but to have a rousing action/adventure set in a different age makes the mundane seem more magical, and the magical aspects of the film seem surprisingly plau... |

BLOODY BRILLIANT! “I FEEL COLD” |
|
The Curse of the Black Pearl is the first installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean stories. It is a hugely entertaining, comedy-cum-action-cum-horror romp, starring Johnny Depp, arguably the finest Hollywood actor of his generation and his character (Jack Sparrow) is one of the most memorable and fascinating characters ever. We catch our first glimpse of Jack standing proudly atop the mast of his vessel as it sails into Port Royal, hair rustling in the wind. Then a couple shots later, it's revealed that Jack's "ship" is a battered dingy so full of leaks that it makes the last several feet into port mostly submerged.
The story centers on this lone pirate on the Caribbean Sea, looking for his lost ship, the Black Pearl which was commandeered years earlier by Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey... |

It's No Masterpiece, But It Sure Is Fun |
|
Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl is flawed fun. It's mostly predictable, it's got some good gags, but it's heavily flawed.
The film has literally HUNDREDS of contradictions and plot holes. I enjoyed the film, but the contradicitions were distracting.
This film has a fantastic first half hour. It's funny, and thrilling at times. However, after that first half hour, the quality drops. It's still enjoyable, and you will be entertained, but it never lives up to that first half hour.
The musical score is VERY good. There were too many hands in the score for me to properly credit anyone, but Hanz Zimmer played a big part in the score, and it shows.
The action, is mostly generic, and will never have you on the edge of your seat. At times, the action is even ... |
