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

FILM REVIEW (DVD review below):
Who says a theme park ride can't be a good movie? Tell that to Disney because their ride "Pirates of the Caribbean" has spawned one of the best film franchises ever and it all started here. "The Curse of the Black Pearl" was a hit in 2003 and to this day, I watch it all the time. It's fun, funny, action packed, and enthralling and never leaves you bored. It's an instant classic.
Pros:
*Outstanding performances from Depp, Rush, Knightley, and Bloom
*Action packed and funny
*It feels like the ride
*Great and engaging story
*Wonderful music
*A movie you can watch over and over again
Cons:
*I have none!
My rating: 5/5
DVD REVIEW:
Okay, this was released back in the day when the 2nd disc had hours and hours of bonus material. I miss those days. The 1st disc features the main movie. The 2nd disc features everything you could ever want. The "Epic At Sea" feature gives you everything you could ever want to know about the making of the movie. There's plenty of insight on the set, and behind the scenes with some of the actors and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. There's so much here, there's nothing left unwanted for the hardcore DVD fan. In conclusion, a must have for movie lovers.
My Rating: 5/5

Why is the rum gone!? October 4, 2008
I love this movie, I saw it for the first time shortly before the sequel, and man do I regret not seeing it in theaters! See it, and the sequels!

The most adorable pirates you've ever seen take to the high seas to do battle with an army of walking skeletons to see who is thinner. With a team consisting of Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom they can't possibly lose! Geoffrey Rush gives it his all -- that is he does his best impression of the pirate mascot standing outside the Long John Silver's at a strip mall in Oakbrook, Illinois, and respected actor Jonathan Pryce as the girlish British governor risks being stripped of the descriptive "respected".
Mike, Kevin and Bill strap on the cutlasses and swing away!

When I saw this movie I instantly liked it. The idea, the locations, the actors/actresses, everything said "I am a good movie". And it kept getting better as the Pirates 2 and 3 came out.
