Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl
It's the 17th Century in the Caribbean Sea. Captain Jack Sparrow like the high seas the world over, present a vast playground where adventure and mystery abound. But Jack's life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship and later attacks the town of Port Royal. The curse they carry can be broken, only if a once-plundered treasure is restored. Join the adventures of Jack Sparrow and his nemesis Captain Barbossa.

It's just a lot of fun.July 16, 2003
An awkward pirate epic that's jampacked with energy, ambition and spectacular effects.July 25, 2003
Pirates reminds me of a vintage MGM musical, a movie that is more choreographed than directed, and one that serves up good clean fun of the PG-13 variety.April 18, 2009
Were it not for Johnny Depp's crassly reassured character creation of scoundrel pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, there would be nothing to relish in this overlong and witless waste of celluloid based on a Disneyland ride.December 27, 2010
Rip-roaring fun for kids who don't mind skeletons.November 30, 2014
One of a handful of legitimately bold, original summer tentpoles of the 2000s.February 09, 2006
Depp invests this overfed, action-tractioned swashbuckler with a voluptuous wit and spry spontaneity it surely doesn't deserve.April 29, 2009
Entertaining, exciting, and engrossing with a genuine feel of adventure along with excellent performances...July 31, 2003
Buries its treasures -- mainly Johnny Depp in eye shadow and dreads as Captain Jack Sparrow -- in briny clichés.July 16, 2003
At, say, 85 minutes, this would have been a jolly little swashbuckler, but at 143 it turns into an unholy trial.November 01, 2007
Here -- in a Jerry Bruckheimer-produced high-seas adventure that incorporates roaring cannons, oddball comedy, a love story and more than a touch of the supernatural -- Depp unleashes his theatrical bravado. He's hilarious.June 26, 2016
Less Douglas Fairbanks than an aquatic Artful Dodger gone to seed, he's a high seas con man with a heart of tarnished stolen gold.
