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.

This doesn't remind me of any pirate films. This was a cool subject to cover. I think it's right up there with Lord of the Rings and Spider-man as far as adventure and that feeling when you take a deep breath and enjoy the scenary.

2.0 out of 5 stars Slightly disappointed, July 15 2004
This review is from: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2-Disc Collector's Edition) (DVD)
As pirate movies go,I suppose "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a quality movie. I'm certainly no expert on that. However, I am an expert on "Pirates of the Caribbean", the ride at Disney Land. Usually, I will ride it 6-7 times when I'm visiting the park. So, you can understand how I was more than a little excited that my favorite ride was becoming a movie.

Sadly, what I got was little more than a meager bone thrown my way. Director Gore Vidal has taken a stunning experience, and added useless new characters and plot, showing situations that were never in the original ride. What's more, the classic "Pirates of the Caribbean" song is hardly heard at all here. It's heard throughout the ENTIRE ride, Gore.

If you're in the mood for a pirate movie, I guess this is the place to come (although don't overlook the underrated "Pirate Movie" from the early 80s). If you're looking for the ride captured on film, better just save your money and buy a ticket to Disney Land. (or World)

5.0 out of 5 stars Yo Ho Ho...a pirate's life for ME!, July 14 2004
This review is from: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2-Disc Collector's Edition) (DVD)
What was once considered to be one of the lamest attempts by money-hungry Disney surprisingly turned out to be quite the crowd-pleaser. That's thanks in part to Johnny Depp's brilliant, Oscar-nominated performance as Pirate Jack Sparrow. The supporting cast, which features Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, and the always wonderful Keira Knightley doesn't hurt either. Oh, and get this shocker, it actually has a good story! Add a great director (Gore Verbinski of The Ring fame) in the mix and you have a winner. That's exactly what this movie is, in box-office success and audience appeal. This is a wonderful film for the entire family; full of action, adventure and humor. Highly recommended. See it!
