Description
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (PEARL HARBOR) comes PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, the thrilling high-seas adventure with a mysterious twist. The roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow's (Academy Award(R) Nominee Johnny Depp) idyllic pirate life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the governor's beautiful daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley). In a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl, Elizabeth's childhood friend Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) joins forces with Jack. What Will doesn't know is that a cursed treasure has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead. Rich in suspense-filled adventure, sword-clashing action, mystery, humor, unforgettable characters, and never-before-seen special effects, PIRATES is a must-have epic on the grandest scale ever.

You won't need a bottle of rum to enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, especially if you've experienced the Disneyland theme-park ride that inspired it. There's a galleon's worth of fun in watching Johnny Depp's androgynous performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, a roguish pirate who could pass for the illegitimate spawn of rockers Keith Richards and Chrissie Hynde. Depp gets all the good lines and steals the show, recruiting Orlando Bloom (a blacksmith and expert swordsman) and Keira Knightley (a lovely governor's daughter) on an adventurous quest to recapture the notorious Black Pearl, a ghost ship commandeered by Jack's nemesis Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a mutineer desperate to reverse the curse that left him and his (literally) skeleton crew in a state of eternal, undead damnation. Director Gore Verbinski (The Ring) repeats the redundant mayhem that marred his debut film Mouse Hunt, but with the writers of Shrek he's made Pirates into a special-effects thrill-ride that plays like a Halloween party on the open seas. Aye, matey, we've come a long way since Jason and the Argonauts! --Jeff Shannon

 Disney DVD's and Blu Rays SUCK!!! August 18, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
They suck because you have to sit through endless movie previews and you can't skip them. And you have to do this EVERY TIME YOU WATCH IT!!! This is intolerable!!! DISNEY SUCKS!!
Not bad if you don't mind having your remote control disabled for 20 minutes! August 16, 2008

I bought this disc (Blu-Ray) because of all the positive reviews I've read about both the movie, and the Blu-Ray rendering.
All that is true - great movie, awesome visuals, fantastic sound. But I give it a ONE STAR rating for the following reason:
YOU HAVE TO SIT THROUGH 13 MINUTES OF NON-BYPASSABLE MOVIE PREVIEWS EVERY TIME YOU LOAD THE DISC OR PRESS "STOP" ON YOUR REMOTE CONTROL.
Folks, this is ridiculous. Do you like seeing a circle with a bar when you try to press "Menu", and have to sit through 20 minutes of movie previews, every time you load a Blue-Ray disc you paid $25.00 for, every time you load it in your Blu-Ray player or press "Stop"?
No!
I am not buying another Disney movie, ever. Period. People shouldn't have to put up with this.
 Great Product!!!! August 16, 2008
Pirates of the Caribbean-The Curse of the Black Pearl is a wonderful and entertaining action/comedy movie. Between Captain Jack Sparrow's sotto voce comments and the crew's groveling, I found the movie to be very humerous. It was also sprinkled with action scenes that kept my attention.
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates Life for Me August 1, 2008
I watched this movie at the theater. I was entertained. I bought the Blu-ray disc (BD) and watched it at home several months later, and realized that there was a lot going on in this movie. Very entertaining, Johnny Depp, is such a nut! If you cannot stand quirky done well, this is not for you. If you still retain the ability to let your mind go and smile while doing so, this movie is the vehicle.
