Depp's the man ! - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl review by CP Customer
A great pirate film, with fine authentic sets, ships, parrots etc. Keira Knightly swashes and buckles womanfully, and Jack Davenport marches about manfully as her 'intended' (don'tcha love a man in uniform?) But it's Depp's film - fantastic costume, complete with beaded hair, the pout, and truly amazing eye makeup making me want to rush to the makeup cupboard and put eyeliner on there and then. He has a range of mannerisms, twitches, oddnesses which, like his cockney accent he manages to keep up all the way through the film - we LOVED him. Oh did I forget to mention Orlando Bloom ? Probably rightly.

Great Fun - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl review by GI
The title signposted that a sequel was always intended if not the series that eventually arrived. And what a disappointment that series turned out to be when this first film is such great fun. A swashbuckler fantasy film that was very original in its concept and much of the sparkle and originality comes from Johnny Depp's characterisation of the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, reputedly inspired by Rolling Stone Keith Richards. Any follow up film was always going to struggle once the audience knew this character and so they relied more and more on the spectacular whereas this film had some very good character emphasis. Ok there are extravagant effects but they work so well to create a family fun filled film that has monsters, sword fights, romance and a great story. As a child Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the daughter of the British Governor of a Caribbean island chain, comes into possession of a strange gold medallion. Years later this medallion is sought after by a band of ruthless and cursed pirates led by Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). They kidnap Elizabeth for nefarious reasons and are pursued by Will (Orlando Bloom) and Norrington (Jack Davenport) both of whom are in love with her and they are aided by the notorious Jack Sparrow, a pirate with his own agenda. Marvellous fun, similar in style to The Mummy (1999) and the Indiana Jones series, this has laughs, excitement and is brilliantly written. Forget the sequels and just enjoy this as a stand alone movie.
