Customer Reviews

Do not monkey around with Aztec gold.

Miss Elizabeth Swan, as a child, was intrigued by pirates. She has an opportunity to save one. In the process, she pilfers what looks like a piece of pirate gold. This simple act will either lead to death and destruction or romance and intrigue. This well-paced movie has every cliché ever spoken in the classic pirate movies. It also has all the elements, gold, and subplots, and is sure to point them out to you should you miss one. This is a well-designed movie with attempts to be authentic in many ways, such as using real pistols from the era. There are several crew members, and you will notice that the extras change from one scene to the next. They did not skimp on the actors either. As with pirate movies of old, the main actors took the lion's share of the action. Of course, you will have your eye on Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), his cronies, and adversaries. However, I was surprised to see their good taste in giving Guy Siner the part of Harbormaster; you may remember him as Lieutenant Hubert Gruber in the series "Allo 'Allo!" (1982) There is no bones about it, this is superior to other Depp movies and will leave a good aftertaste. You may need to see it several times to pick up the tightly packed scenes and dialogue. I have viewed the dual DVD package and found that, instead of just rehashing the movie scenes, they give different insights that you may have missed in the first viewing. Even the deleted scenes allow you to see the way the movie could have gone.

Fun, action, funny!

I can't believe I never saw this movie til now! If u haven't it is still a great movie! I instantly ordered the piano music, I loved it. I wanted to know what the big deal was about Depp not being in the 6th movie & now I see, it will be a flop without him! He IS THE FRANCHISE! There just is no replacement for Depp as Jack Sparrow. Depp plays the ultimate Pirate, it is his developed character and the reason the movies were so successful. It just can't be done without him, he was born to play the lead role & NO ONE else could do what he brings to the screen in this character. He is so engaging, so unique, so funny, so arrogant, but so the perfect lovable Pirate! This movie is classic! And No TRASH TALK! It doesn't need the extra junk, it is a stand on its own without stupid (un)enhancement of typical Hollywood sleeze.
