When I first saw the commercials for this movie, I was skeptical. I figured it was just something based on the Disney ride - a standard pirate movie, with no substance. When I sat down and watched it, though, I was blown away and stood corrected. This movie has amazing detail, the costumes and scenes are amazing, there is a great mixture of drama/action/suspense and even comedy. There is even quite the twist in regards to the pirates of the Black Pearl - which is a ship by the way. The story is really good, I cannot stress that enough. If you think that this movie is gonna be really cute and standard Disney material, you're gonna be wrong - it's quite the gritty story. All the actors, especially Johnny Depp, do a great job with their roles. As I said, the costumes, the scenes and also the special effects are very well done. There is a lot of action too! Definitely a movie that everyone can watch, even kids; while some scenes may be a tad on the scary side, nothing is too scary for little kids to watch and enjoy. No wonder this movie was up for so many awards and had so many great reviews from professional critics - it's great! I can't wait to see the sequel!Read full review
i did not expect they would be able to include this much comedy in the movie!!! i expected "slap stick" humor (which if not well done is horrible) however it was not slap sticks at all. the humor was in the lines, and the jokes were all new, never heard before (i hate when i can name 3 other movies that did the same joke) ..... they do a good job at taking a mysterious roomer like take and turning it into an adventure holding you on the edge of your seat one second, and falling of it laughing the other. the movie has a lot to the story line about pirates and curses, etc so please watch it if you like pirate movies, if youre like me and are not into pirate movies then enjoy this movie for its comedic value.
I originally bought this for my mom about 5 years ago and she loved it to the point that she watched it several times a week. I agree, it was a great film then just as it is now. I had to buy my own copy because it's a movie that holds a great storyline, taking you from one exotic location to another and back to tie the story together. Depp has a fantastic role as Jack Sparrow or rather, Captain Jack Sparrow. The character portraying a grunge-like appearance but with well timed wit, intelligence and skill. The graphics are well made and there is no loss of detail at any point. Disney made a huge hit and continued to make it with the two sequels. You will be happy you bought this. It is worth so much more than what you will pay and will be a classic soon enough!
