I'd have to say that POTC is definatly when of the better movies that I have seen. Johnny Depp does an AWESOME job as Jack Sparrow which makes the whole movie.The movie has a fairly good solid story line which makes the movie easy to enjoy.Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom do pretty well also.Welcome aboard the Black Pearl Mates!

This is a wonderful film that is so enjoyable you can't stop talking about it. Having been on the Pirates of the Caribbean Disney ride, it was difficult to see how such a concept could be made into a full length feature film. The scriptwriters have done a marvellous job. The narrative does not flag and there are laughs galore. The special effects are worthy of an oscar as is the performance by Johnny Depp. It has been reported that he modelled his character on Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, and as a Stones fan myself this merely added to the enjoyment. Depp's slightly camp Captain Jack Sparrow is an unforgettable caharacter and will be copied in the future. Everything about him - his walk, his accent, his turn of speech, his repartee - adds to the enjoyment of the film. Depp is ably supported by Orlando Bloom as Kiera Knightley's love interest and the only one who can bring the ethereal pirates back to mortality. Knightley turns in a sparky leading lady performance and her strong role here certainly prepared her for King Arthur. Geoffrey Rush makes a suitably ruthless pirate captain. He also manages to get the audience to feel sorry for his plight - the pirates are cursed to be skeletons by day and take on mortal form by night, until they retrieve all the stolen Aztec treasure and spill Orlando Bloom's blood over it to lift the curse. The scenes where the pirates turn from flesh to bone and back again are particularly impressive. This is shown extremely well in the numerous fight scenes. The film has been written to entertain and it not only makes you laugh but is also excitingly directed.

This is a really great film, lots of laugh out loud moments and very clever special effects. Johnny Depp is hilarious as Captain Jack Sparrow, and very sexy too! And if you're an Orlando Bloom fan you'll be very happy! Kiera Knightly will keep the boys watching too, so you could safely say this is a dvd that everyone will enjoy...action, comedy, romance, this films got it all.
