Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Review Summary
Set sail to see the first in the PIrates of the Caribbean series, The Curse of the Black Pearl. Despite some vague previews, Viewpoints reviewers found this film to be just as wonderful as the two PIrates movies that followed it, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Johnny Depp is always "at his best when he has a colorful character to play," and in The Curse of the Black Pearl, we're also treated to the characters played by Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, and Keira Knightley, as they all played the same type of characters found in all Disney movies. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a family favorite of many Viewpoints moviegoers, being action-packed, as well as having humor and romance.

The Case
When Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl hit the theaters, I didn't have any expectations. In fact, I wasn't even sure what the premise of the movie was thanks to the vague previews put out by Disney. ...

At the start, a young Elizabeth Swann is sailing with her father and crew. She finds a young Will Turner floating in the water alone and they save his life. Behind him is a burned up ship that looks to have been hit by Pirates! Elizabeth takes a necklace off of Will that has a Pirates symbol attached. You see, Elizabeth has always been fascinated by Pirates.
Now, as an adult, she still has this necklace. Her father is hoping Elizabeth will marry his prized crew member, but being the rebel that she is this is not the type of man she wants to fall in love with. Elizabeth instead... review »

Wow what a performance by Depp. He is at his best when he has a colorful character to play.
I do like the mix of good and evil in all of the main Pirate characters.
Oddly enough the only thing I found disturbing with this movie was that it had some of the same characters that are found in all Disney Movies, and I found that sad. It had the sweet but confused father, the absent mother, and 2 "criminals" one tall, lanky and dumb, with a partner who was stout, not that bright and slightly more evil.
Over all Depp's performance leads me to give it the full 5 stars. He is great fun to watch here....

Loved the movie. The characters were well designed and the actors chosen were well matched. The ability to create action, comedy, and romance all in one makes this movie great for a wide variety of movie goers. The wardrobe for the period was excellent. The sets used for the ship scenes were well designed to create authenticy and a sense of being there. The backdrops for the scenes all add to the sense of adventure.

The quick wittyness of the play writing, the makeup, the set, the actors--just marvelous!
The movie has enough story-line to keep you involved, but not enough to keep you intrigued with the next one! Cannot wait until next one comes out!
Plus--who can resist Johnny Depp?
HM...SEXY!
