I love pirates, and the movie was good. But thought a couple more months of filming/editing were needed to make it great.

Saw it, was midly amused by it, but thought it a little too long. Although Keira was a sight for sore eyes. Wowsers!

My family loved it... My 5 year old said I can't buy it on DVD though... A little scarry for him :)

Excellent summer movie. Never took itself too seriously, trying to relay a "deeper message" (except maybe "don't take the cursed dubloons" or "don't play with the damned monkey") Just a overall enteraining movie.

I did not think the movie was amazing, but it was defninitely entertaining. Depp was hysterical.

Very fun movie. Johnny Depp killed! A little long, but I would watch it again right now.

Dammit, this doesn't premiere here until late august. I want to see it now! Pirates are :cool:.

Enjoyed the show, but a little peeved at the family who brought their 4 year old daughter to see the show. Damn kid crapped her pants when the cannonballs started flying, and stank like fucking mad through the rest of the show.

What the hell were they thinking?

I made it a point to accidentally kick the back of the dad's chair every fifteen minutes. I was ---------><---------- this close to getting up & escorting them all to Spy Kids 3-D.

I loved it, one of the best movies I've seen this year.

Haven't seen it yet but I totally want to

Depp nailed the part... ..something Dustin Hoffman could not do in Peter Pan.....

Great movie...

Keira Knightley is a hottie.... I loved her role in Bend it Like Beckham as well.

Was spending a good part of the movie wondering where i had seen her before.

Johnny Depp was incredible as Jack Sparrow...

I agree... this movie kicked ass. Very entertaining and Depp was amazing, as per usual.

I've seen this movie three times now. I would recommend that you all see it at least three times.

1st time - get amazed by the visual effects and great acting
2nd time - catch on to some plot points you missed the first time, and check out the visual effects again
3rd time - stare at Keira Knightley's hotness

Excellent movie. Very good acting all around. Glad to see that Orlando Bloom will be able to find work after the LOTR.

Highly enjoyable all around. Might as well join the flood and gush about Depp as well though, every time he was on camera I just wanted to cheer, he fucking nailed that part.

Have to disagree with most of ya about Keira Knightley though, I kept getting pissed off whenever she was around. Sort felt like the director got told that she had to be on camera for x minutes, no matter what the plot/situation. Maybe I'm getting old, but I'd rather see someone who can act well and didn't just get the part cause she was cookie cutter hot.

Anyhow, great movie, well worth the cash.

Aaarrrgh

Depp deserves some awards for his part. Really suprised by the number of plot twists and hysterical bits. The donkey braying the second time a sword was pulled from the fire red hot had me almost pissing myself. Best movie I've seen this summer.

Thought it was pretty good. Kind of a mindless summer movie, but enjoyable nonetheless. Depp was great.

I enjoyed how Depp seemed to be channeling the possibly living Keith Richards, and of course, watching a 20 foot tall Keira Knightley wander about in a corset worked well for me too. There's the rest of the movie too, but Ms. Knightley was also the only reason I watched Bend It Like Beckham, so it was also the only reason I watched this movie.

It was a great movie - much better than I thought it was going to be.

And Depp proved that he's a lot better actor than I often give him credit for, for sure. I was expecting the movie to be mediocre at best, but it ended up being a really good flick, mostly because of him.

Solid acting - great plot - not too cheezy - great for summer.
I'll probably pick up the DVD...

saw it yesterday, wasn't bad, but I was slightly disappointed because it was overhyped by my friends and box office.

a great movie... johnny depp was amazing.

Fantastic show!

Movies like this one are the reason that theaters exist. This flick is a total hit! The best part is that it's aimed at such a wide audience. Everyone from the kids to the grandparents can have an enjoyable time.

johnny depp is the shit

I enjoyed the movie...although the ride has a much better soundtrack. I wish they used it more as a model.

This movie was great. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom played their roles very, very well. and Keira Knightly not only played her part great, she is damn hot to boot! Overall great film-- Action, adventure and the hot damsel in distress, can;t go wrong there.

This is my review of Pirates of the Caribbean, and yes I loved it.

Last night Domino Brooks and I took a trip to see Pirates of the Caribbean. The movie produced by Jerry "Action" Bruckheimer, was surprisingly a swashbuckling good time. It stars Johnny Depp who reprises his role of Hunter S. Thompson AKA Raoul Duke as a pirate. The transition is quite smooth. Its incredible that if you mix 2 parts Hunter S. Thompson with one part Keith Richards you get the perfect pirate. Also starring is Orlando Bloom who reprises his role as Legolas the elf minus the pretty hair and bow and arrow. The lead gal is whats-her-name and I haven't seen her before, but she fits the part of damsel in distress who is craftier than her captors would like to believe and she is really hot. Geoffrey Rush reprises his role of Casanova Frankenstien in Mystery Men as the captain of the cursed pirate ship "The Black Pearl". Apparently Casanova Frankenstien doublecrossed Hunter S. Thompson-Richards and left him stranded on an island while he stole his ship "The Black Pearl." Hunter S. Thompson-Richards is super-pissed and wants his ship back. Cut to the present day Caribbean where Casanova Frankenstien has just run off with Legolas' main squeeze. Legolas is super-pissed and wants his babe back. So he teams up with Hunter S. Thompson-Richards. They go after Casanova Frankenstein and when they catch up with him there is a big to-do over Casanova Frankenstien's curse and how it can only be lifted by dropping Elven blood into this old Aztec box. Hilarity ensues when the Commodore of the British Navy shows up with the entire British fleet and the undead pirate zombies confuse them by cross-dressing, which is always very confusing. There are some great lines such as "if you want pain, try wearing a corset." And Hunter S. Thompson-Richards hysterically gets slapped a total of 24 times while trying to figure out whether or not he actually deserves it. The special effects are spectacular but not over done. They are the best walking skeleton effects that I have seen since the 1963 smash hit dark-comedy known as "Jason and the Argonauts." There is even a very frightening appearance by an undead monkey which has caused me to sleep with a nightlight on last night. To round out the cast they included a tough-as-nails pirate african-american woman, a midget, and a pair of pirate men who are obviously quite in love with eachother. All of which completes the perfect Pirate crew. Its got everything you could ask for in a pirate movie and much much more. I was impressed and had a great time. Casanova Frankestein even shouts "Arrrgh" a couple of times.

all around great movie

This is a Great movie... just ask my bf, I think he's seen it about 5 times now lol But I must say I enjoyed it too and Johnny Depp was excellent!! He played the Perfect Captain Jack Sparrow!

I saw this movie awhile back. I really enjoyed it and i'll be another person to comment about how well Johnny Depp played Jack Sparrow.

LOVE this movie.

Great movie. Period.

Good movie, Johnny Depp is my favorite actor and he didn't let me down. However, the two stupid bad-guy pirates (one had the glass eye) I thought they were a bit too stupid and found my self wishing they would explode every time they came on screen.

ok, so this great flick has just come out here, and i´ve finally seen it.

LOVED IT.
so much fun.

this definitely cements Depp as my fav actor.

thanks wondash, for that wee little spoiler... because i read that, i knew to hang around after the credits.

Finally came out here.... bundy aren't you from Aus too? hehe

I saw it twice in one week. I loved it that much... Johnny Depp is the best, the second time I stayed for the extra scene at the end... it was OK.. but not worth the wait w/ the credits hehe.

Awesome movie, over all.

Savvy?

I LOVE this movie! Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the greatest! I love it, love it, love it!

Waiting for the DVD.... Waiting.....

Johnny Depp was very good...but what really made it a great movie for me, was the subtle use of some absolutely stunning visual effects.


Spoiler alert ****










The fight scene in the cave, with the moonlight occasionally hitting the fighters, blew my mind...so did the fight on the ship, at the same time..
