Editorial Review:
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (PEARL HARBOR) comes PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, the thrilling high-seas adventure with a mysterious twist. The roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow's (Academy Award(R) Nominee Johnny Depp) idyllic pirate life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the governor's beautiful daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley). In a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl, Elizabeth's childhood friend Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) joins forces with Jack. What Will doesn't know is that a cursed treasure has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead. Rich in suspense-filled adventure, sword-clashing action, mystery, humor, unforgettable characters, and never-before-seen special effects, PIRATES is a must-have epic on the grandest scale ever.
Description of Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl (Two-Disc Collector's Edition):
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

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN-THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL 
2009-11-06 - ITEM JUST AS DESCRIBED ! FAST AND FRIENDLY ! A REAL PLEASURE DOIN BUSINESS WITH ... THANK YOU !
ARRRRHHH
2009-10-22 - Great movie to watch in bluray!! looks and sounds fantastic. fast shipping and at a good price.
Pirate Storytelling 
2009-10-21 - I'm giving this movie 4 stars because the acting is great and johnny depp is just hilarious... besides, who doesn't like pirate movies? Lots of flair, sword fights, big ships, special effects, costumes, the works. Makes for great disney rides.
However, although all these movies have amazing entertainment value, their scripts and storytelling SUCK in a way no movie has managed to suck.
There is zero cohesion, closure, and at least half of all the subplots you're introduced to vanish in the story without making any sense. Regardless, these movies are so full of action, customes, jokes, and adventure, that you really wouldn't care about the bad storytelling. After all, it's still a pirate movie. Storytelling could only be expected to be "Pirate Quality".
A Good Buy
2009-10-07 - I love this movie and also really like to watch the extra features in this set. To see the making of the movie is amazing ~ all that goes into it is interesting to watch. The movie itself is funny and adventurous all in one. Good for males and females alike.
