Yo Ho... Pirates Of The Caribbean
 

Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean tonight. Very Entertaining! The swash buckling and ship battles were excellent, as were the special effects. And Johnny Depp played his part perfectly.

A pirate’s life for me :D

man i love pirates i hope its just as good as i hope it will be

I'm with NeverThere, I love Pirates. I love Johnny Depp. Expectations are high. Please don't Disapoint me, Mr. Movie.

I saw it, enjoyed it, too. Lots of fun, and Depp was great! All in all, a good summer movie.

I've never been too fond of pirates, too much homo-erotic tension. However I've heard many good things about this movie, namely that Johnny Depp is unbelievably good in his roll of Jack Sparrow.

I've always liked Johnny Depp. Good guy.

The movie was awesome. For pure entertainment it beats a lot of other movies that have come out this year. It wasn't anything special and all that, just a fun movie, especially with Johnny Depps character.

I heard there's something at the end of the credits... anybody stay after that'll share what it was? I didn't hear about it until after I watched it :(

Man....movie just made me want to go live my childhood dream of being a pirate

Yes, there was a small clip after the credits.

***** spoiler below *********























The monkey goes back into the cave and steals a coin, turning back into a cursed creature. Then it jumps at the screen. Fade to black!

Saw it yesterday. Pirates fans will be pleased buy this movie. I though it was very long at the end. But thanks to J.Depp, he is simply amazing and very fun to watch.

BTW Spinach_Indeed, that is one of the coolest avatar ever man!! :)

Thanks Wondash. I kicked myself after reading there was a scene at the end after I had seen it :)

Besides myself (and family), only one other couple stayed until the end, which was surprising considering that the show was sold-out!

if you like pirates, or the ride at disneyland, you will love this movie. lots of fun. Ive never gone crazy for johnny depp, but he kills in this movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie-- very uncharacteristic for a Disney movie. I went to see the movie with some of my gay friends (everyone has at least one or two gay friends, right?), and one of my female friends, so they were all swooning over Johnny Depp for the whole movie. Other than this tiny bit of awkwardness, the movie was great. I only went because my female friend invited me-- if the dudes had invited me I probably would've told 'em that I was busy. Anyways, I go and half expect it to be a generic Disney film like Pocahontas, Little Mermaid, Aladdin (I have a friend [female] who'd kill me for mentioning Aladdin like this; she loves that movie...), Mulan, and that whole slew of... stupid Disney movies. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the movie was highly watchable.

Oh, and one more thing. Towards the end of the movie, the gal started looking exactly like Natalie Portman, and I started kicking myself for not having noticed earlier that it was her. When the movie was over, I was left with a feeling of uncertaintly of whether it was her or not. I now know that it was actually Keira Knightley. Here's a link to an article. Get this:

So you can't blame me for mistaking her as Natalie Portman. She didn't look like Natalie for most of the movie, though. She's actually way hotter than Natalie, I think ;)
I guess dopplegangers really do exist. I mean, theoretically, there's no reason why they shouldn't. Only problem is that they're quite rare... or maybe that's a good thing? I wonder if I have a doppleganger somewhere... :thumbsup:

Pirates of the Caribbean
 

Anyone seen this on yet? Reviews have been very good so far. It's on my list of ones to see on the big screen.

i found to be very entertaining, but i cant tell my favorite part...i dont think i had one, it was just an all around really cool movie...the best part is that now my friends relize how cool johnny depp is, i've been telling them for years...

johhny depp is my second favorite actor, right behind Christopher Walken

I also enjoyed this movie much more than I expected too.

While it had a typical "everyone is happy" Disney ending, the story was actually pretty decent, considering the concept is from a theme park ride.

And I fully agree, Johnny Depp was very good in this movie, even to having his 'wierd' behavior explained.

My friend and I also commented that the special effects in this one were VERY cool.

This was a really good summer movie, johnny depp played a great role, as did legolas(whos name i forget). :)

Just saw the movie. I really enjoyed it!

pretty decent movie, nothing earth shattering, but good. The game is pretty fun too (cept for the damned controls)

I liked it.

Nice, light summer fare. Nothing extraordinary, but its done correctly.

Great movie, Johnny Depp is a great pirate, and Keira Knightley is better looking than Natalie Portman.

i loved his "gay" swagger in the beginning on the docks. Plus, the FX didn't look completely out of place, cough cough, Matrix Hulk X-Men, cough cough. A good DVD buy I believe.

What can I say, I loved it! The movie was just tons of fun, good plot, acting, action, beautiful female lead, it was just a great summer movie.

pretty good movie
i wasn't thinking "wow, that was amazing, i love this movie" when i left the theater but it was defently worth my $9 and 2.5 hours.
for some reason, the movie seemed REALLY long, even longer than the matrix reloaded (which was acually less than 10 mins shorter). i don't know why. it just seemed like the movie dragged on and on as they jump from ship to ship than get another ship and then lose the ship, then jump on another ship, then lose the girl, then find a ship just to get to the girl but lose the ship again.
oh well

Saw it. Loved it.

Johnny Depp made the movie. He provided just the right amount of comical relief at just the right times.
And the special effects were spot on. There was a seamless transition from the men to the moonlight "Ghost Men". Really well done.

It was a bit long, but I honestly didn't even notice until the movie was over and I looked at the clock. It was that good of a movie.

This movie was easily the surpise of the summer for me. I highly recommend it.

Arr, matey, I think I will enjoy this film

I can't wait to see this movie.

Such a good movie, the dialogue, the comedy, the action....

Pirates of the Caribbean
 

I highly recommend this movie. It was action from start to finish and always kept me entertained. Probably my favorite movie this summer along with Finding Nemo.

Charley's Angles 2 on the other hand was probably the worset made movie I have ever seen. If it wasn't fot the Bikini's I would have left early.

Already been done dude. http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=15824

sorry, I am new. Will keep an eye out from here on out

Great movie... Keira Knightley is hot!

I found the movie to be very entertaining, and all I could think about during the movie was- Johnny Depp is so hot with that makeup.

Couldnt have said it any better myself. :) Check out the pirates premier pics of her

Quality flick. And Keira Knightley is a super hot Natalie Portman look a like.

i'm with you.

it was good, but it was way too much of a romantic comedy. Anyone who has done any pirate research will know that 90% of the movie is pure bullshit. They should have made it a horror/slasher film. But i must agree, casting Johnny Depp was the greatest idea Gore Verbinski ever had. Maybe the next time he starts to get smart, he'll realize how dumb his name is.


the movie was enjoyable, though it often depended on cliche and
stereotype. as for the pirate's code, who the fuck thought that up?

Its a good movie, but don't forget, its rated "Arrrrrrrr"
P.S.
See web page below for info on the "pirates code."

Heh i love pirates and Johnny Depp was amazing - he really made the movie.

Still, one of the better movies out there this summer

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.

My movie reviews:

http://predeconinferno.netfirms.com/blog/weblog.html

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..
