DVD Description

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


Customer Reviews

A pirates life for EVERYONE!

One of those movies I've been chomping at the bit to review since it's release, `Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' is what a top notch Hollywood blockbuster looks like; both visually stunning and completely entertaining, with a plot and characters we can care about coupled with special effects to put Spielberg to shame and humor that'll keep the entire family rolling with laughter. `Pirates' may in fact be that all around perfect film, one that everyone can enjoy with absolutely no reservations. It's about time Hollywood gave us something this complete.

As Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp worked hard for that Oscar nod without every really working at all. His performance I guaranty you was not one he was campaigning for an Oscar, it's far too natural for that, and that's why I feel so overjoyed about his nomination. It's not a performance that the Academy all too often notices for it has nothing they look for yet it proved to be everything they needed to award. Becoming completely absorbed in his character he's almost unrecognizable here, and that what sets Depp apart from most of the pack in the first place, dire dedication and devotion to a role.

The plot here revolves around a group of undead pirates trying to break the curse that binds them in their `undead' state. The leader of this group is Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who now commands The Black Pearl, a ship once belonging to Jack Sparrow. In an attempt to reverse this curse they kidnap the beautiful Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightly) and this leaves her father, Governor Weatherby Swann (Jonathan Pryce), up in arms. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), the blacksmith who secretly pines for Elizabeth's attention, is determined to find her and so he enlists the help of Sparrow (who's determined solely to regain command of his ship) in order to track down the undead and rescue his love.

As I said, this film has everything you could wish for in a motion picture. It has the action and adventure, plenty of eye candy (I personally prefer the gorgeous Keira Knightly but my wife is a major fan of Depp here), one liners and general hilarious scenes and did I mention those brilliantly slick special effects. All the performances are great, Depp the standout as well as Rush who is splendidly iconic, but it was probably the biggest booster for young talent Keira Knightly who I'm sure was instantly noticed, not just for her beauty but also her dynamic chemistry with the screen. A must see adventure for any fan of pirates, swashbuckling or just plain fun!
