This is the demo movie for Blu-ray thus far... The AVC/MPEG-4 codec for this title can reach up to 45 Mbps... If you own a Blu-ray player, you do not want this movie absent from your collection... THIS is what every movie should look and sound like...
It was brand new, and for a fraction of the price of what I would have paid if I had bought it in a store. You can't find better prices on so many items legally than you can on e-bay.
This is the first of 3 pirates of the caribbean so far and my favorite out of all of them. This movie is about a pirate named Jack Sparrow (Depp) who gets into all kinds of trouble and is trying to get his ship back and a chance at immortality. All three of these movies are a MUST SEE. You definately have to go out and at least rent these movies. You dont know what your missing!!!
... and simply the best way to watch this movie, blu-ray!!! Geoffrey Rush steals the show and that's no easy task with Depp's Captain Jack around for the ride.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is a fun, exciting adventure based loosely on the Disney theme park ride. Johnny Depp is remarkably good as Captain Jack Sparrow, a somewhat good natured rogue. Gore Verbinski's direction of the story is inspired - perfect for this type of movie! The movie may be 5 or 10 minutes too long, but it never drags. It is definitely one of the better Summer Blockbusters of recent years.
Beyond the movie itself is the Blu Ray disc, and it is here that Disney really outdid themselves. Fully utilizing the capability of the Blu Ray format, the Blu Ray version of Pirates just utterly destroys the DVD version when it comes to picture and sound quality. The Blu Ray is so crisp and clear, with lifelike skin tones, vibrant colors, and solid blacks with great contrast. It's almost like really being there.
This is a Blu Ray disc that should be in the collection of almost everyone who owns a Blu Ray player.
The reason for which I decided to write a review is not for the movie itself (although it's very good) but to tell to my readers how much you will be pleased with the quality and sound features of this blu-ray. To put it simple, let's say it's one of the best encoding I've ever seen on this support, so if you are looking for a demonstration movie for your brand new blu-ray player, don't look elsewhere cause you hold a very good challenger that will utterly fit to your desires.
As a matter of act, the movie is well known and most of you already have an idea of what we are talking about. The thing is, with an image and a sound of this quality, there is nothing to say: you'll just stay with your mouth wide open having chills every time a canon fires up. And what to say of this 3D impression moving objects will get on your screen....I won't do it much longer so that you don't get bored, but in one word, this movie is a thrill when looked at in High Definition. That's what a blu-ray can do when you give it some good food;)
That's all folks. You want something reeeally nice to show to your buddies....just add this movie to your collection.

I was looking for a movie with lots of action to play on Blue Ray. This movie was a hit and I have bought 2 out of the 3 Pirate of the Caribbean movies. Will be looking for the last one....soon. The movie has action, comedy and a touch of romance. I would recommend it to those who enjoy these types of movies. Jonathan H. Vidrine
With Johnny Depp in one of his most eccentric and fully engaged roles ever, he takes us along for the ride as his Captain Jack Sparrow sails the high seas getting himself into one mess after another. With amazing naval sequences, fantastic special effects and stunts this movie runs at a furious pace with non stop action and many laughs as it goes. A terrific family movie and great when watched as a trilogy with the other two films or it stands up very well on it's own. A top notch cast will make you forget what year it is and a great score and fantastic costumes fill in the gaps. Just a thoroughly well made and film with a great screenplay.
I recently purchased and watched this movie on Blu-ray Disc. I had always thought it was an excellent movie before but there is no comparison as to watching it on Blu-ray instead of normal DVD. The special effects are wonderful. All the colors and objects are brighter and give much better detail. This is the next best thing to sitting in a movie theater to watch the movie.
This movie looks awesome on blu ray! I have it on dvd but then when I started reading about how good it looks and sound on blu ray I had to get it. The movie itelf is great very funny and action packed. Like I said lots of action not violence, it is a Disney movie afterall. Good movie made better by blu ray.
***The Blu-Ray Disc is gorgeous, with a kick-ass talking menu screen. Couldn't be happier***
I'm not a fan of pirate movies. In fact, I can't name a pirate movie unless I'm allowed to name a film that might have some emphasis on pirates, to which I would say 'The Goonies' is the best pirate film ever made.
So, when checking out 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl', I could have been described as "disgruntled skeptic". I mean, who the hell thought they could take a beloved Disney ride and make it into a coherent summer popcorn movie? Gore Verbinski, that's who.
I loved 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Johnny Depp was incredible, Geoffrey Rush was a force of nature, and the story of the cursed pirates was awesome. High action, high fun, and a seemingly 'high' pirate (Depp) as our tour guide. I still can't find much about the film that turns me off. I find it to be the perfect mix of action/romance/horror/comedy... a beautiful thing to behold.
The movie is great one thing i have to look for is that there are blu ray disc since I am not aware of that the movie does me no good because on my dvd player I can not play those dics. The movie is great but I can not enjoy the dvd because i was unaware of the blu ray disc.
i lovet, perfect movie, excellent i make the best decision to boght this movie> A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++A

Pirates of the Caribbean:~ Depp can shiver my timbers any time!
Review created: 08/27/03
by: drdevience -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom..pirates!
Cons: nada zip zilch
Yeah. I know. We need another review of this movie like we need that insidious bottom line. Tough. I loved Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and can hold back writing a review no longer. This one will absolutely end up on my best of 2003 list when it comes time to write that. Tis about a treasure, ye see...and pirates, and a maiden who needs rescued. Jack Sparrow is a bumbling fool of a pirate who used to captain the Black Pearl (the most dreaded pirate ship to ever sail the seas). The ship got hi-jacked by his first mate (damned pirates! Just can't trust em!) and then became.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is surprisingly a must see!
Review created: 07/12/03
by: bops_mom -- a member of Epinions
Pros: fabulous cast; fun action adventure movie
Cons: ?? the story has been done many times before ??
While I selected "reveals major details about the movie's plot" I don't think I say anything you don't catch from the previews; and even if I do - well there is nothing new to the story here. Wednesday hubby asked me if I wanted to see Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I told him no, not really as I had little to no desire to see it. It looked like it could be seriously cheesy to me. So hubby made plans to see it that evening with his friends. Their plans fell through and he was disappointed yet knew he'd catch it in theaters soon enough. Today hubby asks me if I want to.

Pirates of the Caribbean: But why is the rum gone?!
Review created: 07/15/03
by: Greatpilgrim -- a member of Epinions
Pros: jaw-droppingly good
Cons: may not have the same appeal to all
I confess, despite the ridicule of my family and friends and the scorn of my own intellectualism, I am an Orlando Bloom shipper at heart. But I went to see this movie mostly because of the terrific action and adventure it promised, and I certainly got that and much more! There has been a shortage of great, classic adventure movies lately, and Pirates of the Caribbean definitely falls in this category. It was far better than even I had anticipated, and while not everyone may enjoy it as enthusiastically as I did, I can safely promise that no one will be bored. The title for Pirates of the...

Pros: Aye! There be many.
Cons: Shiver me timbers, very few.
Avast me hearties! It's time to weigh anchor and hoist the Jolly Roger, cast off and sail the Seven Seas, plundering and looting for dubloons. We'll... What?... "Why," ye ask? Ye don't know what today is? Why ye'll be walking the plank and going to visit Davey Jones' locker with that sort of attitude, you land lubber! It be Talk Like A Pirate Day, when everyone gives in to their secret desires to live a life of real adventure on the high seas. Arrrr, it's good to be a pirate. Now grab yer eye patch and the closest parrot, sit back with a mug of grog and yer favourite wench or cabin boy for we.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Will Blow You Away
Review created: 07/14/03

Pros: Johnny Depp. Very entertaining movie.
Cons: None for me
I first saw a poster for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl when I went to see Finding Nemo. Not long after that, I started to see previews for the movie and I decided that I wanted to see it. I ve seen some other pirate movies, like Treasure Planet, that I enjoyed. I've also read some books dealing with pirates that I found fascinating. I heard more about the movie, and that just made me want to see it even more. I was really looking forward to seeing it. I had high expectations for the movie, and I wasn't disappointed at all. I'm already planning to see it again and I...
