Product Description

From Amazon.com
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

À des lieues de sa précédente réalisation, le stressant The Ring, Gore Verbinski part à l’abordage du film d’aventures avec Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, donnant à voir une nouvelle facette du talent sans faille de Johnny Depp.

Au XVIIe siècle, en pleine mer des Caraïbes, le Black Pearl, navire du flibustier Jack Sparrow, est volé par l’infâme capitaine Barbossa. Ce dernier, avide de méfaits, attaque la ville de Port-Royal et enlève la fille du gouverneur, Elizabeth Swann. Will Turner, ami d’enfance de cette dernière, se joint à Sparrow pour la bataille au cours de laquelle ils découvriront l’étrange malédiction qui frappe Barbossa et son équipage.

Inspiré d’une attraction du parc à thèmes Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean réunit la plupart des ingrédients d’un film d’été réussi : panache, héroïsme, humour et piquant. Malheureusement, tous sont rassemblés dans le personnage de Jack Sparrow dont Johnny Depp donne une interprétation savoureuse, tout en dreadlocks, œil charbonneux et énigmes malicieuses qui a, en outre, l’air de s’amuser comme un petit fou à donner corps à ces aventures épiques. À ses côtés, Orlando Bloom et Keira Knightley font pâles figures. Geoffrey Rush est par contre à la hauteur en méchant diabolique. Présenté dans un double DVD, avec de nombreux documentaires, un making-of et 19 scènes supprimées, Pirates of the Caribbean a tout de même le mérite de redonner vie à un genre souvent délaissé : le film de pirates. – Helen Faradji.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute classic, Sep 13 2003
This review is from: The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2 Discs) (DVD)
Let me just say one thing up front. I didn't want to see this film. I don't like pirate movies. I wasn't particularly a fan of Johnny Depp. However, a friend insisted that I see "Pirates of the Caribbean," and I went, moaning, groaning, and dragging my feet all the way. So, the moral of the story is (for all you people who are skeptical and haven't yet seen this wonderful film) to keep an open mind.

This movie blew me away. First of all, Johnny Depp was amazing. I've never seen a performance that could equal his. You can't take your eyes off of Depp to even appreciate the other fine acting in the film unless you've watched the movie several times! Secondly, I liked the plot twists. It is rare that I watch a film and miss any of what is going on. I did with this film, and had to watch it several times in the theatre to understand precisely what was happening, and just how incredibly clever Captain Sparrow was. Furthermore, watch the subtle shifts in Depp's performance when he's with people or alone. There's a clear difference. Sparrow is far more focused, thoughtful, and decisive alone. He's putting on a hypnotic act when in front of others. It's a one man acting tour de force, awesome to watch. Third, I was on my college fencing team and have always been really picky about the swordplay in a movie. There have been some great sword fights in the past, most recently in "The Princess Bride," but the consistency and quality of the sword play in "Pirates of the Caribbean" was highly impressive. Some critics complained about too many sword fights, but I loved each and every one of them. They were terrific. Finally, the music and cinematography were wonderful, adding greatly to the overall impact of the film. I consider it this year's best movie par none so far.

It's hard to come up with enough superlatives to describe this movie. I predict that this film will become one of the true family classics, like "The Princess Bride" was. It is equally enjoyable for children and adults, and is entertaining no matter how many times you've seen it. The commentary (including Depp), bloopers, and deleted scenes make this DVD a clear must-have. My only wish is that, like "The Lord of the Rings" DVDs, they would come out with an extended version of the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great entertainment for all the family., Jul 31 2006

This review is from: The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2 Discs) (DVD)
This DVD is based on the Disneyland ride of the same name, not something that would inspire you to watch it....however, suspend any preconceptions because this is a terrific film. Starring Johnny Depp as the pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom as Will Turner, the young blacksmith and Keira Knightly as Elizabeth, the governor's daughter, this movie couldn't fail.
The story is a simple one. There is a ship, the Black Pearl, formerly owned by Captain Sparrow but now led by the evil Barbossa,(Simon Callow) and crewed by pirates cursed never to die until a final piece of stolen gold is returned to its rightful place. Elizabeth has been in possession of this missing gold since she was a girl but never known its significance. When the Black Pearl discovers the whereabouts of this missing treasure they set forth to Elizabeth's home to retrieve it. Elizabeth naively thinks she can bargain with Barbossa but finds herself imprisoned on the Black Pearl and being carried away. Soon Will and Jack are in hot pursuit, Will because he loves Elizabeth and Jack because he wants revenge on the pirates who stole his beloved ship from him.
Johnny Depp is brilliant as the camp, funny Captain Sparrow (whom he based on Keith Richards of Rolling Stones fame) and he certainly steals the show in spite of worthy performances from the rest of the cast. This, alongside excellent special effects and a myriad of extras (some hidden) on disc 2 make this a DVD well worth purchasing

5.0 out of 5 stars Piracy At Its Funniest, Nov 23 2003
By David Anderson (St. Cloud, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2 Discs) (DVD)
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is one of the funniest action movies released. Its unique theme keeps its audiences entertained the entire time. Its plot was written wonderfully. Its combination of comedy, romance, and action blend as one movie brilliantly. Few other movies have mastered this difficult task. The fights between the good pirates and the bad pirates never lose the action edge. The romance theme adds more intensity to the action portions. The characters' survival are more crutial due to the love.

Johnny Depp, especially, wonderfully offers his own humor into this movie. His unforgettable behavior alone gives this movie the unforgettable comedy experience. All the other actors also perform their roles wonderfully: Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush. Their personalities heighten the movie's genre characteristics wonderfu
