Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), is not y/our typical Errol Flynn type of machismo swashbuckling pirate; nor does he play another Disney Captain Hook. He's more like Fagan in "Oliver." And he's ever so fey. That's his charm.
Though the pirates on the "Black Pearl" ship are dead and sometimes in their skeleton form, they aren't scary enough for kids, since this is a comedy.
The story line goes like this: A governor's daughter is in charge of a young boy her own age who has been pulled out of the sea by her father's upper-crusty crew. She notices his necklace is a pirate's one and takes it from him so that he won't be hung to death.
But, the gold medallion is the last one of a pirate's treasure that has cursed all of the crew of the "Black Pearl" ship. Without its return with the blood of the boy on it, the skeletal crew remains dead, unable to feel any life in themselves, and are not killable since they are already dead!
Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp), though a bumbling comical pirate who is after the ownership of the "Black Pearl," a ship the cursed crew stole from him, plays a marvelously non-machismo, loveable, pirate character who is the super glue that holds all of the loose ends of the film together. Depp gives one of his cutest performances I've seen and is now my favorite pirate! The script ain't bad either.
Few action/fantasy movies deliver a plot worth following but the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is an exception for its interestingly structured narrative that is driven by the antagonism between the free-wheeling desires of pirates and the more well shaved desires of those in authority (such as that of the East India Trading Co.). The films are very enjoyable, though sometimes at a price as when the "cannibal" type/trope/character (see Pirates 2) makes an appearance - which doesn't sit well in the stomach.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. IT WAS WORTH MORE MONEY I KNOW. IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE EBAY SO FUN. KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!! LETTING PEOPLE KNOW DETAILS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON THE PERSON THAT IS INTERESTED OR NOT INTERESTED.THAT ALONE WILL DECIDE THE FATE OF SALE. THANK YOU

Here lives the govenor's beautiful daughter Elizebeth (Keira Knightly)and her childhood friend Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), whom she had rescued from the sea at an early age. Captain Barbosa and his crew attack the town and kidnap Elizabeth in hopes to remove the horrible curse put on them, living forever as the undead. Will teams up with escaped Jack Sparrow and the adventure escalates as they steal a ship called the Gauntlet. They race to save Elizabeth and Jack Sparrow's ship the Black Pearl. On their heels is the ship called the Interceptor, the Commodore at the wheel fighting for justice. Be prepared for some wonderful stunts and sword fights with a crew of the gory undead pirates. The Pirates Code finds new limits to reality! Disc 2 This Disc consist of a main menu of areas to explore including deleted and alternate scenes, bloopers, history of pirates, diary of a pirate, diary of a ship and many more. Over 10 hours of special features. Unbelievable all it took to put this movie together! Well worth it!
this is a good clean movie. You do not ahve to worry about letting kids whatch this movie. The only bad thing I have found in this movie is that for smaller children, some scences could be alittle scarey. But for older kids this movie is a great choice. It helps to develop kids imaginations. Alot of kids today, dont know how to use their minds to explore their imaginations. this movie hepls them to develop their imaginations.

The website was very helpful. Honest seller. This is a gift for my hubby's "Sugar Time Birthday". He has had diabetes on the 17th of April for 29 years. It's a gift to make him feel good about how well he's doing. Thanks for doing a great job on your website. It helped me make a decision on what to get him for his special day!
This is a movie that you can enjoy. With so many movies, there's not enough time in the week to watch them all. This is one of those movies that you watch in the theater. Then as soon as it's on dvd, you go out and get it.
The kids and I loved it. This was better than Pirates 2 but #1 is still the best. Enjoy this flic. If you have one and two you have to complete your set
Excellent film - good storyline acting and directing. I don't think it's quite as good as the second and third films are together but still a good fun story. Johnny Depp is awesome as always.
Funny, Scary, Action, and Adventure. I love this movie!!!!!! Johnny Depp (CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow) brings a whole new pirate to the big screen! With Orlando Bloom (Will Turner) and Keira Knightly (Elizabeth Swan)who star with Johnny Depp in this Action/Adventure/scary/hilarious PIRATES MOVIE!!!
Of the three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, I like The Curse of the Black Pearl the best which may be because it introduced us to Jack Sparrow as portrayed by Johnny Depp. At Disneyland, the Pirates of the Caribbean was a ride that I would have to make sure to go on. My adult son told me that he does not think that he could grow tired of watching this DVD.
The movie is in mint condition. I love it and it completed my collection. I needed this movie to complete the collection and buying it on ebay I did not have to leave the comfort of my home.
