Behind The Lens
There's always too much going on, which is easily forgivable for a while. But as the minutes mount, the flaws are only accentuated.

Bowling Green Daily News
And so we leave the cinema happy, our heads full of Gareth and gangsters-at-sea. Context, of course, is all.
Independent (UK)
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.

Rating: B+ --
This is about 45 minutes too long but it still holds up as a rousing old-school adventure movie like you might have gotten with Errol Flynn back in the day.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" remains a rarity among this summer's movies in that it not only meets audience expectations, it exceeds them.

One of a handful of legitimately bold, original summer tentpoles of the 2000s.

Product Description:
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer comes the rollicking live-action adventure "Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl," starring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, and Orlando Bloom, directed by Gore Verbinski. For the roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), 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 (Geoffrey Rush), steals his ship, The Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of port royal, kidnapping the governor's (Jonathan Pryce) beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). Elizabeth's childhood friend, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), 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 motley crew are pursued by Elizabeth's betrothed, the debonair , ambitious commodore Norrington (Jack Davenport), aboard the hms dauntless. Unbeknownst to will, there is a curse that has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead, where each moonlight, they are transformed into living skeletons. The curse they carry can be broken only if a once-plundered treasure is restored. Stunning visual effects bring these formidable foes to life as our valiant heroes clash mightily with Barbossa and his invincible Pirates Of The Caribbean.
