All rights reserved.Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2007, Blu-ray Disc)
| 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.

Report this review Great movie!Review created: 06/10/08 by: quadfather.360 ( 8 ) It was brand new, and for a fraction of the price of what I would have paid if I had bought it in a store. You can't find better prices on so many items legally than you can on e-bay. Review ID: 10000000007546261 Was this review helpful? Report this review The first of the seriesReview created: 06/07/08 by: This is the first of 3 pirates of the caribbean so far and my favorite out of all of them. This movie is about a pirate named Jack Sparrow (Depp) who gets into all kinds of trouble and is trying to get his ship back and a chance at immortality. All three of these movies are a MUST SEE. You definately have to go out and at least rent these movies. You dont know what your missing!!! Review ID: 10000000007469710 Was this review helpful? Report this review The best of the three Pirates films...... and simply the best way to watch this movie, blu-ray!!! Geoffrey Rush steals the show and that's no easy task with Depp's Captain Jack around for the ride. Review ID: 10000000007253058 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
