| This book is based on the Disneyland ride of the same name, not something that would inspire you to watch it....however, suspend any preconceptions because this is a terrific film. Starring Johnny Depp as the pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom as Will, the young blacksmith and Keira Knightly as Elizabeth, the governor's daughter, this movie couldn't fail.
The story is a simple one. There is a ship, the Black Pearl, formerly owned by Captain Sparrow and now led by an evil captain (Simon Callow) and crewed by pirates cursed never to die until a final piece of stolen gold is returned to its rightful place. Elizabeth has been in possession of this missing gold since she was a girl but never known its significance. When the Black Pearl discovers the whereabouts of this missing treasure they set forth to Elizabeth's home and kidnap her. Soon Will and Jack are in hot pursuit, Will because he loves Elizabeth and Jack because he wants revenge on the pirates who stole his beloved ship from him. Johnny Depp is brilliant as the camp, funny Captain Sparrow (whom he based on Keith Richards of Rolling Stones fame) and he certainly steals the show in spite of worthy performances from the rest of the cast. This, alongside excellent special effects and a myriad of extras (some hidden) on disc 2 make this a DVD well worth purchasing. | |
| My Favorite "Pirate" | |
| I have to admit, I originally went to see the Pirates of the Caribbean because I wanted to see Orlando Bloom. But when I saw that Johnny Depp appeared, his careless and casual way attracted everyone to him. He was witty and funny-looking, making me one of the millions of the fans obsessed with Johnny Depp. On the other side Orlando was an expert swordsman and later he and Johnny Depp made the perfect pirate pair. Also Orlando Bloom has wonderful love with the heroine. I have to talk some about the skeletons because they are so powerful. They got cursed from the missing coins, so they must find the coins and correct them; otherwise they would never die, so they gave lots troubles to Johnny and Orlando. So it made the story became more interesting. Formerly I never liked a role so quickly and so profoundly as Johnny Depp's role. So it's a recommended movie for anyone who likes action, humor and adventure, and it's a good entertaining movie. I hope you will enjoy it.
