Editorial Review:
Pirates of The Caribbean UMD Movie From Buena Vista MODEL- 29473 VENDOR- UMD MOVIES FEATURES- "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of the Black Pearl" PSP UMD Watch movies on your PSP handheld with DVD picture quality in widescreen. This full length movie fits on a single UMD disc. Following his surprise-hit American remake of The Ring in 2002, director Gore Verbinski took on Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the second of recent films to be based upon Disney theme-park rides (the first being The Country Bears). When Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the daughter of Governor Swann (Jonathan Pryce) is kidnapped by a group of pirates led by Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and taken aboard their ship, The Black Pearl, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), the young man who loves Elizabeth despite the fact that she is promised to another, sets out to rescue her. But he cant do it alone, so he enlists the help of swashbuckling ship captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). Together the two chase after The Black Pearl, but they soon discover that the captain and crew arent your average pirates. Cursed to remain between the living and the dead, Barbossa and his men look like skeletons when basked in the moonlight. When it is revealed that the only thing that can break the curse is Elizabeths blood, Jack and Will are faced with a race against time and a battle against the undead to save the Governors daughter. * Starring: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Jack Davenport. -- SPECIFICATIONs --------------------------------
Description of Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl [UMD for PSP]:
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 [UMD for PSP] Reviews:
Disney DVD's and Blu Rays SUCK!!! 
2008-08-18 - They suck because you have to sit through endless movie previews and you can't skip them. And you have to do this EVERY TIME YOU WATCH IT!!! This is intolerable!!! DISNEY SUCKS!!
Not bad if you don't mind having your remote control disabled for 20 minutes! 
2008-08-16 - I bought this disc (Blu-Ray) because of all the positive reviews I've read about both the movie, and the Blu-Ray rendering.
All that is true - great movie, awesome visuals, fantastic sound. But I give it a ONE STAR rating for the following reason:
YOU HAVE TO SIT THROUGH 13 MINUTES OF NON-BYPASSABLE MOVIE PREVIEWS EVERY TIME YOU LOAD THE DISC OR PRESS "STOP" ON YOUR REMOTE CONTROL.
Folks, this is ridiculous. Do you like seeing a circle with a bar when you try to press "Menu", and have to sit through 20 minutes of movie previews, every time you load a Blue-Ray disc you paid $25.00 for, every time you load it in your Blu-Ray player or press "Stop"?
No!
I am not buying another Disney movie, ever. Period. People shouldn't have to put up with this.
Great Product!!!! 
2008-08-16 - Pirates of the Caribbean-The Curse of the Black Pearl is a wonderful and entertaining action/comedy movie. Between Captain Jack Sparrow's sotto voce comments and the crew's groveling, I found the movie to be very humerous. It was also sprinkled with action scenes that kept my attention.
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates Life for Me 
2008-08-01 - I watched this movie at the theater. I was entertained. I bought the Blu-ray disc (BD) and watched it at home several months later, and realized that there was a lot going on in this movie. Very entertaining, Johnny Depp, is such a nut! If you cannot stand quirky done well, this is not for you. If you still retain the ability to let your mind go and smile while doing so, this movie is the vehicle.
Pirated of the Carribean - Black Pearl 
2008-08-01 - Amazing picture quality!! Worth the extra expense to purchase this title on blu ray.
