The best Pirate action since.. well, ever! Full of awesome swashbuckling action and good humor. Fantastical elements and a great cast of characters, (most notably one of my all time favorites -Jack Sparrow) make it really appealing! The main theme is just perfect for a movie like this!

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

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) is the first film in the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This franchise has been a humongous money maker for Disney. This first movie introduces us to what is probably one of the most widely known characters ever know, Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp. This really is an interesting character. I'm not a big fan of Johnny Depp, but I will say that he was the correct pick for this character, I've really taken issue with how he represents characters before (Charlie and the chocolate factory), but this time I think he did a good job. His character is complicated because on one hand, he is someone we root for and someone we're amused by because of his humorous nature and personality, and then on the other hand, he's a flawed character that steals and cheats others. But it's a whole lot of fun to watch Johnny Depp plays this humorous captivating character, hence his academy award nomination. We are also introduced to Will, played by the ever handsome Orlando Bloom. Will is one of the most commendable characters you'll ever see, he's a noble charming character who everyone has no choice but to root for. And then we have Keira Knightly playing Elizabeth. She plays Blooms love interest. But what I loved about her role is that she's isn't just some female for Bloom, she is not a damsel in distress. Yes, it's great to see her and Will fall in love and to see their great romantic chemistry, but it's also awesome to see Elizabeth stand up for herself and take charge in different scenes. She played her in a very bad ass way, which makes it so much fun to watch. The plot of course revolves around pirates invading and these characters I've told you about going up against them. There's more to it than that of course but that's the basic overall plot. I really enjoy watching this now ever famous film. It deserves the positive reception it received when it came out. 8/10 for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Out of all the Pirates of the Caribbean, THIS IS THE BEST ONE OF ALL! Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, & Geoffrey Rush together- AMAZING!!! Plus, the Attraction itself is my favorite one of all time at any Disney theme park! For those who have not seen any of the Pirate Series, this Film would be the best choice, that I recommend, to see first.
