Always fun, always humorous and always the right time to see it again and again.
What an incredibly good film. The first film I ever rewatched in the cinema. Still amazing in 2019.
"This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!"
It has been awhile since I've seen the Curse of the Black Peal and I still can't believe it they made such a great film out of a theme park ride. Incredible.
Johnny Depp shines as Captain Jack Sparrow in his best outing as the character, Geoffrey Rush is the great Yang to Depp's Ying, Orlando Bloom is always fun in a fantasy setting and Kiera Knightley is always a delight to see. But don't tell anyone I like Kevin R. McNally as Gibbs the most!
The first film in this franchise is a fun ride that builds up a great pirate world. The sequels I haven't seen in a long long time too and I've never seen the fifth installment but I'm here to sail these seas this year.
"Drink up me 'earties. Yo ho."
dropping by to leave my raving review and support johnny's work -
johnny's character makes this entire show and pirates is nothing without him. jd brings so much authenticity and vibrancy to his characters that it's impossible to ignore his talent. he's brought so much of his own craftsmanship and creativity into building and creating the captain jack sparrow that i can't imagine anyone else playing the part.
nearly 20 years later and this movie still stands up. i love it.
also shout out to that elementary school friend i had who would obsessively rewatch this show with me when we were kids and wrote a script for pirates 2 with me. we thought we were gonna make it big. i remember you boo!
One of the most entertaining movies I've watched in a long, long time. Johnny Depp is absolutely brilliant. The special effects were over-the-top, and there were actual scenes that were highly reminiscent of the old Pirates of the Caribbean ride from Disneyland (at least, the one I remember from many years ago). Definitely recommend this one!

What? No... We can't stop here... This is bat country
First time I've ever watched it, and I loved every second of it! Depp's acting seals the deal!
Watched this film because of the Disney ride and was amazed at how they've managed to make a film franchise around an attraction. It is such a good film, very well made and Jack Sparrow aka Johnny Depp makes the whole thing with his comedy.
The funniest action movie I know with a "larger than life" performance of Johnny Depp as "Captain Jack Sparrow".
The fast paced action flick features some nice plot-twists and a very special humour makes this one of the best movies, ever!
One of the greatest adventure movies of all time!
Keira Knightly is an angel!
You can say what you will about the films that followed it but the first Pirates of the Caribbean are as fun as blockbusters get. Its a perfect mix of several different genres. The action still holds up and there is still a decent amount of simple but effective humor. I really wish they could replicate this level of quality.
I delayed watching this movie for years because I thought that I was not going to like it. Now I watched it and I LOVE it.
i love ithis movie it is whenderful
Believe it or not but it took me 12 years to finally watch this. Maybe I should have watched it earlier, maybe it´s just not my kind of movie, but I wasn´t overly impressed. Production is great, CGI still looks pretty good and Johnny Depp is awesome but personally I found the story rather thin.
Nevertheles it was entertaining and I will watch the rest of the series.
one of my favorite movies
My favorite movies of all time!! YOU WANNA LOVE JOHNNY DEPP!!
Knightley girl would be hotter if she weighed 20 more lbs.
Best pirate movie of all time
Saw this in theaters (my note).
They just don’t make them how they used to
Best PotC back then and still the best to this day! It captures the balance of a grand adventure and light-hearted comedy unlike any of the sequels. While I certainly don't love this genre as much as many, it makes sense why this spawned into one of the biggest franchises ever with many sequels.
Rating: 4/5 - 85% - Would Recommend
Perhaps one of the best adventure films I’ve seen. And (Captain) Jack Sparrow - perhaps one of the most charismatic and loveable protagonists to ever grace (or, more aptly, stumble around in) a pirate film.
Classic, characters/scenes/story are so good. Watched again w Nick/Rebz
Someone on Twitter made a fan edit of this called The Monkey Island Cut where they edited out Jack Sparrow. So now I can finally watch this Keira Knightley film without the wifebeater <3
In these skirmishes of sailing ships there is always something that catches the eye. ;)
“You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there be monsters.”
Jack sparrow has to be one of the most charismatic characters in a movie
"I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid."
I am changing my rating on this because going back and watching the first one reminded of how good it is. Somehow they are able to balance humor, chaos and multiple storylines all together and make it look really cool. Having a fun and good story helps too.
Have watched more times than I can count... Never gets old
The Curse of the Black Pearl transports you to a daring pirate adventure without the need to dumb anything down for the audience. It's witty, dramatic, and plain fun to watch. The characters are alive, and we're treated to possibly the best soundtrack ever written.
Seriously, this movie is near perfect in execution. Even the CGI holds up tremendously well. It's the perfect blend of witty and serious, dark and light. One of the best adventure movies out there, period.
Really good film with an excellent play by Jack Sparrow. But lets face it: The best part of this whole saga is the soundtrack by Klaus Badelt & Hans Zimmer!
Depp is crazy good. One of my favorite franchises
First one of a franchise and you gotta give it to em, it is quite entertaining
This is a fantastic movie full action, adventure, humor and a hell of a lot more! The film is 2 hours and 40 minutes long, but that time flies by as you are transported into an awesome world of swashbuckling and sword fights. Depp's deft performance gives us a memorable character, one that is perhaps unique in cinema history.
The best of the three
As far as im concerned, this is an curse of monkey island adaption.
Arrrrrr, can't wait for The 4th in the series. No 234 on imdb at the moment for good reason. But then, who hasn't seen it yet that I'm preaching to?
