The adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have given Disney their biggest hits of the decade. And while neither of the two sequels have come close to matching the first, theres plenty for the family to enjoy across the trilogy of films here. The first film is a belter. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl introduces us to Sparrow for the first time (earning Johnny Depp an Oscar nomination in the process), as well as the talented cast of supporting characters. The fun though, is when either Depp or Geoffrey Rush as... Captain Barbossa are on the screen. Throw in lots of witty banter, some superb action sequences and a running time that doesnt outstay its welcome, and you have a modern day blockbuster classic. The sequels are far flabbier. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest does boast some outstanding effects work, and does introduce Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, but it also meanders around a lot, and tests the patience of its audience more than it should. Not as much as Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End though, which does compensate by having the best high definition transfer of the lot, and a stunning battle sequence near the end, but does ask that you stick with it through choppy waters. With a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie setting sail in the summer of 2011 though, its going to be a joy to see the further adventure of Depps simply superb Captain Jack. And if you want to enjoy his work to date on the franchise, and enjoy one of the best blockbuster movies of the last decade, then this is a very good box set to get. Its a terrific high definition treat, too --Simon Brew [show more]
Superb in every way, shape, and form!
This new edition of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy released on Blu-Ray has a visually stunning picture, enhanced for the upgraded format to make it look impressively beautiful.
Never have the three films looked so good in your own home! It's like being at the cinema.
Each film is just brilliant. They are all so very well written, and have such a wide appeal to audiences of all ages; they're appropriate for children, but just as good fun to watch for the adults in the family too. And because it's a trilogy, it means that the fun doesn't stop when the first film's over!
With the fourth film having just come out in the cinema, it's the perfect time to pick yourself up a copy of this trilogy, refresh your memory of the first three films, and then go and watch the latest, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and fall in love with that one as well!
Captain Jack Sparrow is such an excellent character, and Johnny Depp plays him magnificently; Depp's sheer brilliance in his performances across all three films is maintained at the highest level, typical of Depp's incredibly impressive talents as an actor. There isn't a single moment in all three films that isn't excellent, and that I don't love. They're just fantastic!
