I am beginning to believe that critics wouldn't know a good film even if it bit them in the arse! This move is great and just plain FUN! I love Johnny Depp and I think all of the actors did a phenominal job. It's been a long time since a FUN movie like this has been out. Matter of fact, I am off to see it a 7th time! My Rating A++!

OUTSTANDING!!! I'm with Katherine and Jose...one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Depp's movements, comedy and expressions give charm, bravery and elegance befitting the role of Captain. By the way, Depp's mannerisms more closely resemble Errol Flynn of years gone by than anyone else. (Flynn was the original "Sinbad the Sailor.") Granted, the skeleton crew could have been more believable - and spookier - but overall, this did not affect my high rating. Bloom gave an effective performance, as did the actor who played Captain Barbossa. All others performed quite well. This movie will bring out the kid and sense of adventure in most everyone, and it will become one of my all time favorites too!

This movie was just so much FUN! I laughed and laughed (and I am *way* over 13). So many things were either verbal or visual jokes. I jumped out of my seat twice. It's the best movie I've seen in years! I'm going to see it again this weekend. By the way, DON'T LEAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE CREDITS, or you'll miss something very interesting. The musical score was so good that I've already ordered it at Amazon.

I disagree with Boyd's comments about the film's allegedly "dimwitted" comedy. I thought it was altogether brilliant, and that those "one-liners" were essential to lightening up the otherwise dark and mildly depressing atmosphere that the story creates. Depp's performance was spectacular (as always), and the younger actors- Bloom and Knightley- were nothing less than perfect for their respective roles. Truly a great film; I give it an A+++.

I agree with Katherine L H.. This Movie is a must see for anyone who likes to go to the theatre. I am now making this my favorite movie of all time. I really, really can't wait till it comes out on DVD or VHS. I will be one of the first ones to buy it, right when it comes out I'm going to go buy it. I watched this movie three times already in the theatre. It was so good... They should make a second movie. I would give it 10 stars if it was possible. It was a really great Movie.

I enjoyed the movie, it was what I expected, I only wish it would of had what I didn't expect. The flamboyant way Depp portrayed the pirate Jack was great though, he is a freak. I love him, he gave me the "unexpected" part in the movie.

YOU WERE SO CRUEL IN PARTS TO THE ACTORS. I think that they did and amazing job and really Orland Bloom can act and he is a cutie and I don't care whether or not you think he can act! Johnny Depp also did an amazing job and did not "KILL" the role in anyway! so ha!

While it is true that Disney has watered down the action for younger viewers, the movie is still entertaining and well worth seeing. Visually, the film is well done and captures that "pirate feel" without seeming too campy or too much like the Disneyland attraction. My two biggest gripes would be that the character Elizabeth Swann (played by Kiera Knightley) is in this movie waaay too much. Her part seems simply to be a balance to all of the male pirates. And, since she's pretty much the only woman in the movie, she has a lot of balancing to do. My second gripe is the story arc. The story isn't terribly original, which I can live with. But the director's concern with eye candy leaves one wondering what exactly is happening from time to time. On the plus side, however, the short bit of swordplay that is shown is well choreographed. Also, Depp's interpretation of Jack Sparrow is relaxed and humorous. His goofy way of moving (poorly explained in the movie) reminds me of the movements of the animatronics that are on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. I think that this may have been his influence more than Mick Jagger. Pirate's of the Caribbean is a lot of fun. Disney has captured the elements of the ride and been able to create a movie that is entertaining and visually interesting. Let's hope, however, that the sequel lives up to a PG-13 rating.
