Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD) Reviews

When I was in Disneyland...... Many, many years ago (23 years actually!) I went on a strange ride called Pirates of the Caribbean.... Which promptly broke down as we were under a bridge by a pirate swigging rum and singing a pirate song! At the time I did wonder why this ride was even there... I know the animatronics were good, but nearly all the ...  Read the complete review

In these days of sci-fi special effects summer movies it was about time someone came along and made a classic swashbuckling adventure, and they don't come more swashbuckling than Pirates of the Caribbean.

I had wanted to see Pirates of the Caribbean ever since I heard they were making it. Being a fan of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, I honestly thought this film was not one to be missed, and it turns out I was right. I went in with very low expectations as I?ve learnt to do, what?s the point of having high expectations? Nothing ...  Read the complete review

The problem with big Hollywood blockbusters these days is that they all take themselves terribly seriously. This is why I've largely given up on them. I yearn for the good old days of Indiana Jones or Goonies, films that were light-hearted fun and had none of the po-faced pretensions of The Matrix and its ilk. The first Star Wars film was fun. ...  Read the complete review

Shiver me timbers matey as Hollywood once more braves the seven seas for a big budget pirate adventure. The last time such an attempt on the genre was made we had Cutthroat Island, a movie that cost $92 million, made only $11 million on release and subsequently bankrupted the studio that backed it. But now we have Pirates of the ...  Read the complete review

Pirates of the Caribbean is this year's, "one I didn't see coming." I didn't expect to find myself going to see a pirate movie, because they're usually rubbish. The last pirate film I can recall watching was Cutthroat Island and (thankfully?) I don't remember it very well. Anyway, what drew me to go into a packed, ...  Read the complete review
