Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Pros: Johnny Depp. Very entertaining movie.

Pros: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom..pirates!
Cons: nada zip zilch

Yeah. I know. We need another review of this movie like we need that insidious bottom line. Tough. I loved Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and can hold back writing a review no longer. This one will absolutely end up on my ...

A swash-buckling adventure on the high seas, Pirates of the Caribbean has reinvented the genre with a great mixture of humor and excitement that really takes the film to another level. Johnny Depp stars as the infamous pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, who ...

Cons: ?? the story has been done many times before ??

While I selected "reveals major details about the movie's plot" I don't think I say anything you ...

Pros: Johnny Depp; great story; high swashbuckling adventure
Cons: Let me get back to you

There are many movies out there that I never gave another glance, had no expectations, or even, dare I say it, cared about at all. A movie based on a theme park ride from Disneyland would fall under that category. The funny thing is I actually like ...

Pros: Aye! There be many.
Cons: Shiver me timbers, very few.

Avast me hearties! It's time to weigh anchor and hoist the Jolly Roger, cast off and sail the Seven Seas, plundering and looting for dubloons. We'll... What?... "Why," ye ask? Ye don't know what today is? Why ye'll be walking the plank and going to visit ...

Pros: Funny, action-packed, decent script, great performances by the cast - especially Depp
Cons: Some plot holes (forgiveable though), too violent for young children

Pirate movies aren’t as common as they used to be, and swashbuckling isn’t what it once was. However, this movie has plenty of piratey, swashbuckling action, a great cast, and plenty of laughs. Johnny Depp plays the charming rogue Captain ...

Cons: Sometimes characters' motives aren't totally clear...

You know, I consider myself to be a pretty decent estimater of the passage of time. Movies are alwa ...

Pros: acting, story, pace, effects, cinematography
Cons: nothing

When I first heard that Disney was going to make a movie based on the theme park ride Pi rates of the Caribbean, my first reaction was that I didn’t expect much. It seemed like a way for the studio to make a quick ...

Pros: rousing, comedic, gorgeous, dirty
Cons: not as dirty as it could have been

Eloquently verbose, chillingly extraordinary and distinctly more authentic in eliciting that innat ...

Pros: Great adventure story with lots of humor
Cons: None

Ok, ok, I admit it. I was a skeptic. How in the world could they turn a ride from Disneyland into a good movie? But, being the Disney fiend that I am, I went to see this movie when it came out, and I immediately fell in love. Captain Jack Sparrow ...

Pros: Johnny Depp.
Cons: Entirely too long, pointless sword fights, kids will be bored to tears in some spots.

Let me start by saying that I think Johnny Depp is one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. ...

Pros: hilarious, adventurous, Johnny Depp!
Cons: How can the sequel measure up?

I'm one of the biggest Disney fans I know, but in recent years my formerly unflappable faith in that wholesome powerhouse has been shaken with several animated features of so-so quality and live action efforts that revisit old material and succeed only ...
