Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl [Blu-ray] Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl [Blu-ray] You won’t need a bottle of rum to enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, especially if you’ve experienced the Disneyland theme-park ride that inspired it. There’s a galleon’s worth of fun in watching Johnny Depp’s androgynous performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, a roguish pirate who could pass for the illegitimate spawn of rockers Keith Richards and Chrissie Hynde. Depp gets all the good lines and steals the show, recruiting Orlando Bloom (a blacksmith and expert swordsman) and Keira Knightley (a lovely governor’s daughter) on an adventurous quest to recapture the notorious Black Pearl, a ghost ship commandeered by Jack’s nemesis Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a mutineer desperate to reverse the curse that left him and his (literally) skeleton crew in a state of eternal, undead damnation. Director Gore Verbinski (The Ring) repeats the redundant mayhem that marred his debut film Mouse Hunt, but with the writers of Shrek he’s made Pirates into a special-effects thrill-ride that plays like a Halloween party on the open seas. Aye, matey, we’ve come a long way since Jason and the Argonauts! –Jeff Shannon
Customer Review: Great Movie… Fun To Watch
Pirates, the often threatened, overwork, villians of the seas.
Would you belive that they finally made a good movie ’bout them. Not only that, but guess where it came from… Disney?!?!?

One of those movies you buy, and watch over, and over again.

Aimed toward the family, but Disney’s most Action packed yet.

Fun to watch movie- makes you crave 2&3.

And you’ll be trying to pun Jack Sparrow’s signature swagger. All the acting was super-well-done.

Give it Four and a Half if I could.
Customer Review: The First and the Best
I’m amazed that Hollywood finally made a decent pirate movie.

When I was a kid, SWASHBUCKLER (1976) was a major disaster. Robert Shaw, riding high after the biggest summer blockbuster ever, JAWS, starred in a pirate movie that killed any hope of this genre setting sea ever again. I can’t remember when Roman Polanski directed PIRATES but it also sank into the abyss.

When I’d heard that a movie was coming out based on the Disney ride…I had doubts. But then Johnny Depp was starring, so I figured there would have to be something interesting to attract him.

It’s a fun summer movie. The story is constructed like an amusement park ride, more for effect than any real thought. The special effects are top-notch and there’s enough humor to keep things sailing along.

Australia
Australia Watching the early reels of Australia, there’s certainly no doubt who’s in charge: this could only be a film by Baz Luhrmann, that wacky purveyor of all things over-the-top. In this old-fashioned, 165-minute hymn to his native continent, Luhrmann travels back to the late 1930s/early ’40s, for a scenario that would not have [...]
