note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room I must confess that the Pirates of the Caribbean films didn't take me as much as they seemed to most people - I admire the craft involved, and Johnny Depp is rather good as Captain Jack Sparrow, but people seem to try and elevate it beyond the daft adventure fare that it is. ...  Read the complete review

This is first in a series of 3 (soon to be 4) fims from Disney, starring Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom. When this film came out I was in seventh heaven, Depp and Bloom in the same film together. It has all the required elements for a good film, good cast, beautiful scenery and some cracking adventure. The only thing it ...  Read the complete review

Before watching this Film I didn't know who Johnny Depp or any of the cast were with the exception of the elf from Lord of the Rings (Borelando Loom).

I'm sure I am not alone in thinking this IS one ...  Read the complete review

I've watched this film god knows how many times now ...  Read the complete review

After watching bits of this film on the television, I think it was last Christmas when it was on I decided that I wanted to see it all as it looked very good and also I like Johnny Depp and think all of his films are great.

This film is the first in the PotC trilogy and is possibly the best. The film has a great script and is directed very well. The plot is very complicated meaning it is hard to understand and the film is very long so some people may not be able to concentrate. In the film, Sparrow trys to rescue Elizabeth after she has been kidnapped. ...  Read the complete review

Ok so until recently...(and I know with all the hype this sounds funny) but I have never had the chance or really felt the need to watch any of the pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Johnny depp strikes gold in this film as he plays Captain Jack Sparrow, a crazy yet ultimately brilliant pirate who is desparate to regain one thing - his ship, the black pearl, and doesn't want to let anything get in his way.

I have the 2 disc, collectors edition of this film. I watched this last night with my fiance, its a great film for everyone I think. The film is rated a 12 so obviously not suitable for younger kids, this is probably down to the dead pirates which I must say freaked me out the first time I saw it! The film has eye candy ...  Read the complete review

Pirates of the Caribbean the Curse of the Black Pearl is a fantastic high seas adventure for the whole family to enjoy. It is up beat, humorous and doesn't take itself too seriously meaning it is a film that definitely should not be missed. Captain Barbosa is a cruel and wily man, who legend has it, commands the Black Pearl, a shop ...  Read the complete review
