All rights reserved.Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003, VHS)
| Movie Description Loosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he's in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth's childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl's mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth's doubloon necklace, and when she's kidnapped by the ol' salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ship's curse. Verbinski's PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, filled with rope-swinging heroes, crusty villains, treasure hoards, swift swordplay, and even wittier wordplay. Screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have crafted one of the most clever action-movie scripts in many moons, and this gives the filmmakers and cast (especially Depp) plenty of room to cut loose. Although the skeletal pirates may be a bit frightening for small children, there's lots of humor to temper the scary moments, making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL a nearly flawless fun film.

Reviews  Finally Disney make a non-animated movie worth watchingReview created: 02/25/08 by:  Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl shows one of the best sides of Johnny Depp. I couldn't believe Disney made such a great movie. The visual effects is amazing and the cast is perfect. As always Disney comes out with a great plot and incredible storytelling abilities. This has it all, great comedy, great action, and romance that people will love. Johnny Depp as Cap'n Jack Sparrow is perfect. He plays the part extremely well. There is nothing that I don't like about this movie. It's worth buying even if you hate Disney, the movie have very high replay value. Review ID: 10000000005807172 Was this review helpful? Report this review Pirates of the CaribbeanReview created: 11/01/06 by: I love the movie, and have seen it several times. Hence, my desire to purchase my own copy. I watch snippets of the movie, when there is nothing worth watching on television. Nothing better than watching Captain Jack Sparrow running, with his arms waving madly, instead of a bizarre reality TV show. Besides, if I ever run into my own pirate ... I am headed out to sea! Great movie, fun to watch over and over. The subtle and obvious humor is worth having the movie next to my VCR at all times! Review ID: 10000000002203813 Was this review helpful?

I absolutely loved this movie, I just had to add it to my collection. The plot, characters, and special effects are all wonderfully done. Both Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are at their best in this film. And they look dashing in their costumes, if I may say so :) This is a movie you can watch again and again. Go out and get yours today! Review ID: 10000000002166719 Was this review helpful? Report this review Pirates of the Caribbean VHSReview created: 08/10/06 by: 0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
