A tale of adventure set during the 17th Century in the Caribbean Sea. For the roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow, the crystalline waters of the Caribbean, like the high seas the world over, present a vast playground where adventure and mystery abound.
But Jack's idyllic life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the Governor's beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swann. Elizabeth's childhood friend, Will Turner, joins forces with Jack to commandeer the fastest ship in the British fleet, the HMS Interceptor, in a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl. The duo and their crew are pursued by Elizabeth's betrothed, the debonair, ambitious Commodore Norrington, aboard the HMS dauntless. Unbeknownst to Will, there is a curse that has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead-when exposed to moonlight, they are exposed to living skeletons. The curse they carry can be broken, only if a once-plundered treasure is restored.
½ Well who'd of thought a film about a theme park ride would become so huge. A simple theme park attraction that I rode when I was but a wee nipper in Disney World Florida, and it wasn't that amazing if I recall. So Verbinski and Bruckheimer take many ideas and leafs out of the video game The Secret of Monkey Island and low and behold we have our pirate flick. Tis the year of our lord errr.the late 17th Century, or possibly the early 18th Century, not too sure, but plundering be a plenty!
The crew of the Black Pearl are after cursed treasure and the blood of the last remaining pirate so they can break the curse put upon them for stealing the cursed gold in the first place. Unfortunately the last pirate is dead (cos they killed him) so they need his offspring instead, in the mean time Captain Jack Sparrow is wanting his beloved vessel back under his control.
The plot is actually kinda fiddly methinks and even now I'm having to wrap my head around exactly why and how things happen. So the Aztec gold is cursed and that curse turns the pirates into the undead, skeletal warriors that are unable to be killed. Now is that really a curse? These guys are pirates, they live a life of danger and plundering, surely being immortal and invincible would be really handy traits to have no? I don't really understand why these guys wanna break the curse so badly and make themselves vulnerable to death which inevitably awaits them at every turn.
Especially with the whole British Navy after them all the time. There are many little quibbles I have with the plot really, in all the battle sequences the good guys fight the pirates, but what for??
They can't win, the pirates can't be killed, it just seems so pointless to me. To break the curse all the pirates that stole the gold need to put their blood back into the chest along with all the gold.I think, yet that isn't made clear. You tend to think its just the offspring of Bootstrap Bill, this is why Sparrow wipes his blood on the coin in the end which I never clicked on. That leads me to the other point or mistake that Barbossa is shot by Sparrow before Turner drops the last blood soaked coin into the chest.
So doesn't that mean that at the exact moment he was shot he was still cursed and invincible? Thusly he should have survived that bullet. The coin should of been in the chest before Barbossa was shot surely.
Quibbles aside the film is actually a rollicking good adventure the likes of which hadn't been seen for some time. In the good old fashioned tradition of Errol Flynn swashbucklers by jove.
I can't deny that the film is tremendous fun enhanced of course by the campy performance of Depp which came straight out of left field. No one really expected what Depp came up with and it was really fresh! The film could so easily have become a stuffy straight laced predictable action romp ('Cutthroat Island' anyone?) but the inclusion of Depp's Sparrow really gave a different angle. You have the obligatory hero in Bloom and of course the damsel in distress with Knightly but Sparrow was such a unique character giving such a quirky boost to the traditional proceedings. On top of that was the inclusion of a vast array of really decent pirate characters both good and bad from all sorts of ethnic backgrounds. This not only gave the film a nice comic book-esque feel but also actual realism as of course pirates of the day were a scurvy bunch from all over, pirates were pretty politically correct and hired anyone. I personally liked Mr Cotton and his parrot in the traditional sense there.
Ragetti and Pintel are a classic slapstick duo of baddie pirates that amuse nicely. Whilst Kevin McNally as Gibbs gives us another traditional approach with lots of golden pirate dialog that I think stems from Robert Newton and Disney's 1966 Treasure Island film. Gotta give kudos to the makeup and costume designs for the pirates, they really do look completely unwashed. Their teeth, facial hair, coarse knotted looking head hair, even their eyes, it all looks really authentic.
Naturally Sparrow isn't quite as scruffy as the rest but his attire is definitely more effeminate which is funny, more so with his body language. Oh and Barbossa.Soul Calibur the movie much? Cervantes if you ask me, just running that up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes it. In all honesty there are so many good characters in this film its hard to narrow them all down. Then you have the typical type of visuals that you'd think Tim Burton had a hand in, excellent dark atmospheric sequences and shots including dark misty seascapes, fog bound galleons, the yellow glow of light from a cross hatched window pane breaking through the gloomy night, skeleton pirates in the moonlight, bleak islands by night etc.Then on the flip side there are the gorgeous daylight visuals of the British ports, sandy beaches, palm trees, galleons and various other vessels harbouring against tropical settings etc.its all here.
Everything you'd expect to see and everything you want to see in a good old fashioned pirate film. I can see why the film expected to bomb as its one of those dodgy types of genres, but from the offset you can see the quality of detail on display. Everything really looks top dollar all the way through the film but amazingly the film has such a good range of characters (which is unusual lets be honest) it really doesn't matter. For once a Hollywood blockbuster actually got it right and gave us something other than flashy special effects, they gave us good fun characters we care about.to a degree.
Also the special effects aren't all CGI which is one for the books (skeletons aside), a lot of the action is using real sets, real explosions, real stunts and in real locations which really does make all the difference, just like in the good old days. The actual pirate skeletons still look OK but of course feel a bit dated these days. The CGI can't be hidden with these guys and it is obvious, that inescapable fake plastic feel about them.
Should have used stop motion I reckon hehe. To this day I still can't believe this summer blockbuster managed to do what the creators set out to do. To make a film harking back to the days of the silver screen, the golden age of Hollywood and at the same time use traditional real time effects without much use of CGI (what they did use was sensibly done, sparingly). They took an Errol Flynn swashbuckler added some nice touches of humour, a little modern action here and there, a dash of good old fashioned sea tales/myths and cranked up the location visuals to produce a top adventure. If only the plot had been a little clearer in places. Gotta love the film title though huh.
Nowadays, Disney has pretty much transformed into a Goliath of a studio. From purchasing Star Wars and Marvel to releasing 80 to 90% quality entertainment in recent years, there is no sign of them slowing down.
In my opinion, the beginning of where they are today was precisely Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Although this franchise has had its ups and downs over the years, this first instalment is remembered as a classic by many. Sure, there are definitely some non-fans out there, but this is pure entertainment from start to finish. Filled with tons of swash-buckling fun, some likeable characters, and a real sense of adventure, here is why I believe Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl still holds up over 14 years later. Following a hunted pirate in Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an experienced and love-bound blacksmith in Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), and action-wise damsel in distress in Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley), this film follows the tropes of classic films in the same genre throughout many years. From the love interest being kidnapped by the main villain (in Barbossa) to the love triangles on the side, there isn't much unpredictability here, aside from a few clever reveals in the final act. From beginning to end, this film finds ways of making this premise feel fresh for a new audience.
In my opinion, nearly every character is likeable, which is what makes this film that much more enjoyable. When it comes to #Disney, they're not shy when coming up with new characters to make classics. Although they haven't had too many classic characters in recent memory, say for Elsa or Lightning McQueen (if he even counts), Jack Sparrow is recognized on a global scale. Not only is he fun to dress up as, but he has a large presence on-screen and he is the staple that made this franchise so enjoyable from the get go. Sure, there are eons of stories to tell throughout this world of pirates and treasure hunters, but the interaction between Sparrow and the rest of the characters is truly what makes this film so memorable in my eyes.
Upon multiple viewings over the years, my enjoyment of this film has not diminished one bit. That being said, I can't help but feel the length of this film after repeat viewings. It's not that it becomes stale, but there are quite a few moments that take their time to tell the story in order to give the audience some time to recuperate from the previous action sequence. Due to the amount of surprises throughout the course of this film, I'm still able to forgive the slow moments, because the entertainment value this film has, still trumps all. After all these years, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl still remains the best in its franchise. There are a few pacing issues and quite a few cheesy mistakes in its filmmaking, but this really is just a fun family adventure. As a blockbuster, this first instalment hits every right note it needs to.
It won't be able to please everyone, and newcomers that are 14 years late to the party may not quite be as invested as audiences were back in 2003, but there is no denying that there was a large amount of effort put into making this film fun for all ages. In the end, the sword fights, plot twists, sense of adventure, and overall impact of this epic adventure are still very present if you are a fan. Newcomers can still find enjoyment here in bingeing the franchise, so yes, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl comes no less recommended as it did years ago. The original story of the now ubiquitous franchise was an abject lesson in how to create a feelgood summer hit. It has no pretensions to being high art; just a hugely entertaining romp that ticks all the right boxes. Spectacular set pieces, great effects, likeable characters and a well written script that never patronizes the audience.
But we all know what really made this film, and that's Johnny Depp's hilariously eccentric performance; he literally owns this film. We all love an anti-hero at the best of times, but what Depp brings to the film is a genuine sense of FUN.
Something that's missing all too often from a studio system used to grinding out soulless formulaic blockbusters that completely lack the kind of magic that makes a film special. The final result here is a film that successfully lives up to the traditions of the classic Hollywood swashbuckler from Fairbanks jr and Errol Flynn right through to Raiders Of The Lost Ark. One of the most enjoyable family films of recent years.

Disney seemed to be going down the tubes lately, with Atlantis and Home on the Range, but this movie is a masterpiece.
If it wasn't for this movie, Johnny Depp wouldn't be as famous as he is today. Every scene with him or Geoffery Rush is brilliant. The movie is very crisp and the shots of the islands are breathtaking. Definitely a movie worth picking up at Blockbuster or even better, buying ( I don't buy DVDs often but this was one of them). The characters are thought out very well and plot is excellent.
The script is one of the main stars of the film itself, every line that seems to come out of Sparrow or Barbossa's mouth or any of the other cast is original. If you like action films you'll love this, if you like comedy you'll love this, actually, this movie is great for everyone (except small kids, who may get frightened by the skeleton scenes).

Reviewed by eak-1 10 I am nearly fifty years old. A sober grown man. With children. Children with whom I have now sat through hundreds of movies. Many of which I have enjoyed. And I am not completely hardened in my sophistication.
The opening music to The Lion King brought tears to my eyes when my little ones were but wee tots. But still, these are after all just children's movies. In another life, I would never have seen them.
And, really, one can't take such movies too seriously, can one? And so, this summer, after the ritual badgering, I dutifully trudged into yet another Disney 'adventure' movie. Named after that tired old ride in Anaheim I first went on in 1965.
I mean really, how much can you expect? And then, it happened. The swirling intoxication. The stunned feeling. Was this a movie? Or a religious experience? Perhaps more like an addictive experience.
I cannot remember ever willingly paying to see any movie not starring a relative of mine more than twice, and I can count those movies on one hand. I have now seen 'Pirates' four times. The only thing keeping me from seeing it again is the sense that this whole thing is just getting out of hand. I cannot get enough of it.
It's like walking into a painting that you never want to come back out of. My children ask, with a note of concern in their voices, 'Dad, you really like Pirates of the Caribbean a lot, don't you?' Cyberlink powerdirector video editor download.
And that Depp fellow. I never had any idea who he was, but his name sounded like something created for a pubescent cover-boy for magazines published to hook thirteen year-old girls on make-up and bad music. Wasn't Depp the name of some hair-goo product back in the 60s? I am a straight male.
I have several good friends who are gay, but have never fantasized about any gender but the female. But now I understand how women can experience swooning crushes on male film stars. He is simply extraordinary. So sly, so seductive, so canny!
I read an interview in which Depp said he went through a slight depression when he had to stop playing Captain Jack Sparrow. I can see why. His inventiveness and sheer pleasure in inhabiting the character come through in every frame. How can I admit to my children that I now troll through fan websites about a former teen heart-throb?
I often don't even watch the Academy Awards, and I certainly never have any emotional investment in who wins. Except for this year. And, in a time when many big-budget movies are little more than a hodge-podge of loosely- connected 'money shots' this movie puts all the pieces together, with a sense of fun and light-heartedness in special effects that are simply dazzling.
I find myself laughing with dizzy appreciation when Barbossa barks out, 'You'd best be believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner, you're in one!' And the grinning skeletons come into view, with Badelt's pounding score keeping time to the beat of their maniacal deck-swabbing. And then there's the scene of the pirate-ghouls slithering up from the darkened sea on the mooring cables of the Dauntless, like infernal cats stalking their prey.
And now to the music. I can just hear the effete aesthetes dismissing this score, as Mr. Zimmerman anticipates with his winking 'overproduced by' credit on the cover-liner. 'Absurdly Stupendous.' Well, perhaps it is, for those who spend their lives evaluating such things. To me, it is absolutely transporting. I first listened to it while doing a work-out on a rowing machine and found that I tripled my usual distance.
It was like mainlining some hazardous tachycardic amphetamine. Once again, the children were wondering, 'What's up with Daddy? Perhaps I am just losing my grip, having an adolescent movie get to me this way. But when those final credits roll, and Captain Jack narrows his eyes and says, 'Now, bring me that horizon. Drink up me hearties, yo ho' and the music swells. It is difficult to put into words the effect it has.
At this point my children have to yank me forcibly from the theater, lest I persist in watching the credits to the bitter end, and bid good-bye to the little monkey once more, wiping tears of exultation from my eyes. This is not just another 'entry' in the summer blockbust sweepstakes. It is an exquisite work of fantasy and inventiveness, a true classic, on the order of 'The Wizard of Oz.' I do hope Depp's performance garners not just awards, but a place in the pantheon, something we old fogies - and our gently fogeying children decades hence - will show to our children and grandchildren like a revealed treasure. I cannot recall any movie having such an effect on me.
Reviewed by JPW3 5 A damn good movie. One of the best of 2003 in my view. This movie made me laugh, and it really pulled me in. At first I was afraid this would be another bad Pirate movie. I went to see it anyway, as I've always loved the legends of pirates, and I love adventure. I saw it once. Then Quadrupul.
Pirates Of The Caribbean The Curse Of The Black Pearl Full Movie Torrent Download
Then six times. And one more 7. And now I eagerly wait for the DVD in Australia. What i'm saying is I couldn't get enough of this movie. It was so well done. Johnny Depp was hilarious a Jack Sparrow, and acted like a true Pirate.
His obsessive drinking antics, and his walk really brought out this chaqracter. Plus he made character we could all love and enjoy, that deserves an Oscar in my view.
Geoffrey Rush played Barbosa the bad guy. Who turned out to be quite a good bad guy in my view.
He showed real potential, and I loved the way how he manipulated people. Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth, the governor's daughter.
Prisoner of the Pirates. She is quite momorable in this role, and is a great jump for her evergrowing popularity. Orlando Bloom plays Will Turner. A simple blacksmith, who is also a well trained swordsman. Who is in hot pursuit of saving Elizabeth from the Pirates. The more memorable thing about this though is the curse. A well thought out curse.
That can always lead to sequel or a prequel. You'll see what I mean when you watch it. The story is based on these Pirates who happen to be cursed, and they want to rid the curse. To do that they need the blood of a pirate, not just any pirate but the son of Bill Turner- William Turner. Mistaken for Bill Turner's child the pirates Capture Elizabeth, and take her hostage, while William teams up with a Rogue pirate, Jack Sparrow, who is on a streak for revenge against Barbosa. While all at the same time are being chased by the british fleet. A great adventure.
Well played swordfighting. Great laughs. And great story. Pirates are back in my good book. Reviewed by Brad2002 8 Although I had expectations ( from watching the trailers ) that this might be a good movie, I was still surprised that it's as good as it is.
The story is actually more complex than I had expected, involving cursed pirates and their quest to rid themselves of the curse. I won't say more than that so as not to spoil it if you haven't seen it. There aren't as many action scenes as I had thought there would be in a pirate movie, but the ones that are in the movie were very fun and enjoyable. After seeing it, I think it had the right balance of action and drama.
There are also, of course, a lot of funny bits interspersed between the action and drama. Some really good special effects also add to the enjoyment of this movie. I wasn't much of a fan of Johnny Depp until I saw this movie. I think he deserved to win the Academy Award for best actor.
It's largely because of his performance, IMO, that the movie was so good. Most of the supporting cast did well, mind you, just that Johnny Depp stood high above the rest. I did find Orlando Bloom's performance a bit wooden, but other than that the acting was good. Basically, it's a really fun movie and I'd give it about 8 out of 10.
