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.Read full review
Now, on a 2007 Blu-ray disc, viewers can enjoy beautiful clarity of spectacular settings created for this bound-to-be classic pirate film. The story line goes: 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 & takes it from him so that he won't be hung. The gold medallion is the last 1 of a pirate's treasure that has cursed all of the crew of the "Black Pearl" ship. Without the medallion's return, with the blood of the boy on it, the skeletal crew remains dead, unable to feel any life in themselves & aren't killable since they're already dead! Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp), though a bumbling comical pirate, is in pusuit of the ownership of the "Black Pearl." This pirate ship is 1 the cursed crew stole from Sparrow. Depp plays a marvelously non-machismo, loveable, pirate character who's the glue that holds all of the loose ends of the film together. Depp gives 1 of his cutest performances I've seen. He's now my favorite pirate! The script is quite amusing & entertaining. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), is not y/our typical Errol Flynn type of machismo swashbuckling pirate. Nor does Depp play another Disney Captain Hook. He's more like Fagan in "Oliver." Ever so fey & charming. Although the pirates on the "Black Pearl" ship are dead & sometimes in their skeleton form, they aren't scary enough for kids, since this is a comedy. I highly recommend owning the Blu-ray disc 2007 version~Read full review
I'm having a "Pirates of the Caribbean" week! Why? Well, I finally got around to updating "Dead Man's Chest" to Blu and when I entered my magic Disney points code, I was told that I have a free cinema ticket to the fourth part, so I figured in order to watch the fourth one, I should watch (or re-watch) the original trilogy. Thing is, I remember (vaguely) watching the original movie and thinking it was good, thinking the second one sucked, and I aint seen the last one, or rather the third one, since there is now a fourth, so that would be the last one, or latest one as I am sure they will keep on churning out sequels until the cash cow finally kicks the bucket. Anywhoo, as for the original movie it was a BLAST. Lots of action, and in a good way, kinda like the original "Zorro" movie (okay, the original remake movie) It was just full of good old fashioned action and fun. Not bogged down with blood, nudity or swearing, it is an action movie for the entire family (although it will be scary for the little ones) and, get this... it has a PLOT and a good one too! There is pirate treasure, and skeletons and plenty of buckles being swashed, plus you get to see the origins of Jack Sparrow, probably one of the most iconic characters from the past ten years. Johnny Depp has made this pirate a modern day legend. Who'd have thunk that ripping off Keith Richards would be so entertaining. Anyway, if you haven't see this one yet, do so. You won't be disappointed.Read full review
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.
It's hard not to like this movie, Johnny Depp does such a good job playing the role of Jack Sparrow. These really aren't bad movies, they're definitely worth watching especially if you were Johnny Depp fan where you been Orlando Bloom
