Pirates of the Caribbean= DAMN GOOD MOVIE!

I saw it and got bored about an hour through the movie. The fight scenes were great at first, but it got old quickly.

"But why is the RUM gone?"

Heh.. It was a good movie to see, and I don't see many movies.

It was good but I found it to be a little repetitive. Off the island, on the ship, on the island then back to the ship.... repeat.

Saw it yesterday and I agree, it gets a in my book. I'd read a review that said that Depp carried the movie, and he really does make it enjoyable. Not what you typically think of when you think "pirate", but likeably well done.

And yeah, the corset line should have seen the cutting room floor. It was painful to watch in all the previews, and 10x worse in the middle of the movie. I wonder if was George Lucas inspired

Pirates was a good movie. I liked the characters... I wish johnny depp played a bad guy. That would be fun.

Still...it felt pretty Hollywood. I think probably because it needed to appeal to the most general of audiences. Judging your responses...the filmmakers did well.

Agreed...it's not Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers, but it made for a great excuse to chow on big ol' bag of salty popcorn and a huge pop

am I insane or was there already a big long thread about this? I cant find it when I search. BEST MOVIE EVER or something.

edit: oops, I meant to edit the first post I guess thats what happens when all the buttons are question marks...

You got that right. They're already planning a sequel.

I saw it last Friday and loved it. I like how they incorporated scenes from the Disneyland ride into the movie. (Prisoners trying to get the keys from the dog.) Captain Sparrow sailing to dock on his sinking boat was my favorite part.

Johnny played the gayest pirate I have ever seen. Not that I have seen many pirates but I have seen my share of gay guys

Actually.....http://www.chiprowe.com/bookrev/sodomy.html

You thought so too? During the movie, I also kept secretly wishing that he were gay.

Typical, 18th September release date in Australia

LOL sorry but that sucks. I saw it, it was a fun flick.

I'm teaching my macaw to say "any port in a storm".

Even though the dubbing for the macaw's voice was stupidly poor.

Agree, the pirates should have been on the ship, on the island, then on a train, maybe a taxi, or better browsing MaCNN...
It's a PIRATES movie dude!!!

Great summer movie. This is a movie that knows how not to take itself too seriously. Some other movies think that a few misplaced one-liners can make up for an hour of over-the-top story and effects. Pirates is just fun, and doesn't try to be anything else.

I read in the NYTimes that Depp based his pirate character on a cross between Keith Richards and Pepe LePew.

Creative mix.

OMG -- he nailed his intentions. That is exactly how he behaves in the movie. Keeeeef!

Well duh. Some more sea adventures would have been nice and not going back to the same damn cave over and over!

I was quite pleasantly surprised considering it's based on a theme park ride. Not a brainiac movie but very fun and enjoyable. However, that "corset" line was a bit lame. What the h3ll, am I agreeing with Ca$h?!?!?!

Keira Knightley was better in Bend It Like Beckham, but then again her role in Pirates was pretty "restrictive". BTW, don't you think she kind of looks like a cross between Heather Graham and Natalie Portman?

i thought it was fun. but that's about it. The natalie portman lookalike was pleasant to look at it.

The repetitive nature started to get to me after a little while though. I had the unpleasant thought that the last fight would actually never end, due to the nature of the bad guys, and that we would end up in a mobius strip of pointless swordplay.

It probably didn't help that I saw it at a drive-in and it was getting damn cold at the end...

Johnny Depp is God.

"Pirates" was a damn fine movie, I have to say. Absolutely worth my money. It seemed even better after I got out of "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" last night. God, what a waste of time.

My advice to anyone who sees it: Wait through the end credits. There's a great little scene they added at the very end.

P.S. - Hey, 500 posts. Yay me.

Well, she does play one of the doubles for the princess in SW: Ep 1, so apparently some other people think she looks a bit like Portman too.

Doh! Didn't know that. Indeed she does. Sab�!



Anyways, I think this thread needs more Keira-is-cute posts to counteract all the Johnny-Depp-is-hot posts... Too bad in the above pic she's jail-bait and looks like a vampire with a circus-trained makeup artist on LSD.

LOL exactly. That was my favorite line.

Impatiently waiting for the Enchanted Tiki Room movie.

The trailer seemed boring, but maybe i'll give it another look ...

Indeed, she was 12 when she landed the role of Queen Amidala's double. My my baby all grown up now at 18. Excellent movie. Johnny Depp was hilarious as the drunken pirate.

My part time press operator tidbit looks just like her.

Yummie.

just watched this movie myself. i know its a bit late . but i think it deserves a few words. i was preety skeptical of a disney pirate movie with depp. But i was totally blown away. it's an amazing story, a great movie, with awesome sets, music and actors. Depp was unbelievabley convincing.... im gonna go out on a limb and say that every pirate from hollywood, from this day forth will be compared to 'Jack Sparrow'.I guess he wasn a bad guy, but his portrayal of a pirate was awesome...the way he spoke, the way he moved, his gestures, etc,etc... very very convincing.

Two thumbs up. if you havent seen it yet, go rent it, you wont be disappointed.

Cheers.

This is definately my favourite movie ever. Disney + Johnny Depp + Orlando Bloom + Keira Knightley can only equal good things. I had high hopes for the Haunted Mansion movie and that was kinda.. not as good. I love how things from the rides were incorporated into the movies, though. One of the most memorable lines from the Pirates ride is "we wants the redhead!" and I don't think that was even in the movie. Bummer. I'm a big Disney geek.

My favourite Johnny Depp movie currently is BLOW.

If you watch the behind the scenes stuff, you find out WHY he was acting that way: Johnny Depp's favorite rock star is KEITH RICHARDS. So basically, Depp incorporated Keith's persona into the Jack Sparrow character. Now that I know this, the movie is even funnier in some ways.

I think she looks like Winona Ryder and Natalie Portman, two of my favorite actresses. This is why I�m a big Keira Knightley fan (two for the price of one ).

I thought it had some weak bits but otherwise it was good, like Temple of Doom with pirates.

But a great movie for me is Lawrence of Arabia, 2001, etc

No wonder he looked 'familar' lol. Now that you mention it, i actually see keith richard in Jack Sparrow. He (Depp) still plays an awesome pirate though, despite the similarity with Richards.

From the previews that I saw of it on TV sounds like a great movie. I plan to purchase "Pirates of the Caribbean" when it comes out on DVD.

It's out already, fyi.

I must say, it is one of those movies that draws you right in. No matter how many times you've seen it, when it is playing you just have to sit and watch it.

We thought she looked like a thinner Winona Ryder.

I absolutely love the beginning when he rides the mast of the sinking boat into the Port. Standing there all commanding and stuff while 80% of the ship is underwater. So funny. Great movie all around.

Is that Photoshopped? Her head is HUGE!!1!1 Ack!

I don't understand what the deal is with this movie... Everybody keeps on gushing praise for it, but I didn't really think it was all that outstanding. Pretty boring and repetitive, actually, and predictable.

It's fun. From the beginning to the end it is like riding on Pirates of the Caribean in Disney World, but better. They bring it up to date, great special effects. All the actors are brilliant with their characters. Johny Depp is superb, and I love how he gets into his character by incorporating real life characters. I saw him interviewed on inside the actors studio, and he's a really cool person. I just saw the 9th gate again on television, and think it is a pretty good movie too.

If you don't like him, then you probably won't like the movie.

It was all good the first time. Second time parts became a bit boring. The corset line and the actress herself sucked.

Johnny depp was the only reason to see it. Without him it would have been tragically boring.

I hated this movie. With a passion. In fact, I saw it in a packed theatre this summer and if I hadn't've sat in the middle of the row, I would've walked out three-quarters of the way through and went to see Terminator 3 for the second time.

The only redeeming features were Johnny Depp and pirates. Depp is always cool. So are pirates.

Yarr.

Ok, now I know NOT to consider you opinion on movies.
