That was an excellent one.

An absolute waste of money

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor's daughter, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl boasts one of Johnny Depp's best perfomances but also a terrific blend of comedy, action and special effects and makes Pirates just cool also Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa is perhaps his best perfomance ever and Keira and Orlando have a very good chemistry together as a whole. Definitely a great and fun adventure. (10/10)

This movie was awesome. Just plain awesome. While the plot can be, and sometimes is, quite confusing, the effects were brilliant given it was 2003, with the 'Skeleton crew' scene being one of the best things I have ever seen in a movie. It also manages to perfectly balance itself between being humorous and action packed. Usually, movies tend to lean too far over to one side, but this one manages to be downright hilarious at times, such as when Elizabeth and Sparrow get drunk on an island and dance in circles around a fire singing 'a pirate's life for me' and also exciting and suspenseful, like during the sea battle.At times, it is also kind of scary, so well done for that. 'Skeleton crew' was a very scary scene, and so was 'underwater attack' in which Barbosa's skeleton warriors march along the bottom of the sea to get at the imperial ships.The musical scores are awesome, and really well done. In total, this is an amazing, very exciting and fun movie that's definitely worth watching.

Pirates of the Caribbean is an adventure and a comedy film. It is about Jack Sparrow who's had a lot of adventures, a lot of friends as well as enemies. I really love this film because of the main character. Jack is funny, clever and smart. Also adventure films are interesting, sometimes romantic and scary. Finally, it's a fantastic story which we can never see in real life. That's why it is very exciting! For all these reasons it is the best film I've ever seen.

While I have seen this movie three or four times, I re-watched it this past summer in order to prepare for the 5th insert. I am 20 years old and enjoy adventure/action movies. However, I am cautious when I see "Disney" on a movie. This movie begins with well created context and helpful details to set the plot of the movie. The witty comments and actions of Jack Sparrow challenge the logical sensible actions of William. As the movie plays out, the plot does a good job of staying on track.With that being said, the 2 stars I did not give to this movie would be for the beginning of the movie being action filled and witty and while Depp keeps the witty ideas present, in my opinion, the high point/climax of the movie felt like the slowest part. All in all, re-watchable, fitting for most above 12 years old
