Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (Blu-ray Disc, 2007, 2-Disc Set)

Now, on a 2007 Blu-ray disc, viewers can enjoy beautiful clarity of spectacular settings created for this bound-to-be classic pirate film.

The story line goes: A governor's daughter is in charge of a young boy her own age who has been pulled out of the sea by her father's upper-crusty crew. She notices his necklace is a pirate's & takes it from him so that he won't be hung.

The gold medallion is the last 1 of a pirate's treasure that has cursed all of the crew of the "Black Pearl" ship. Without the medallion's return, with the blood of the boy on it, the skeletal crew remains dead, unable to feel any life in themselves & aren't killable since they're already dead!

Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp), though a bumbling comical pirate, is in pusuit of the ownership of the "Black Pearl." This pirate ship is 1 the cursed crew stole from Sparrow. Depp plays a marvelously non-machismo, loveable, pirate character who's the glue that holds all of the loose ends of the film together. Depp gives 1 of his cutest performances I've seen. He's now my favorite pirate! The script is quite amusing & entertaining.

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), is not y/our typical Errol Flynn type of machismo swashbuckling pirate. Nor does Depp play another Disney Captain Hook. He's more like Fagan in "Oliver." Ever so fey & charming.

Although the pirates on the "Black Pearl" ship are dead & sometimes in their skeleton form, they aren't scary enough for kids, since this is a comedy. I highly recommend owning the Blu-ray disc 2007 version~

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is a fun, exciting adventure based loosely on the Disney theme park ride. Johnny Depp is remarkably good as Captain Jack Sparrow, a somewhat good natured rogue. Gore Verbinski's direction of the story is inspired - perfect for this type of movie! The movie may be 5 or 10 minutes too long, but it never drags. It is definitely one of the better Summer Blockbusters of recent years.

Beyond the movie itself is the Blu Ray disc, and it is here that Disney really outdid themselves. Fully utilizing the capability of the Blu Ray format, the Blu Ray version of Pirates just utterly destroys the DVD version when it comes to picture and sound quality. The Blu Ray is so crisp and clear, with lifelike skin tones, vibrant colors, and solid blacks with great contrast. It's almost like really being there.

This is a Blu Ray disc that should be in the collection of almost everyone who owns a Blu Ray player.

***The Blu-Ray Disc is gorgeous, with a kick-ass talking menu screen. Couldn't be happier***

I'm not a fan of pirate movies. In fact, I can't name a pirate movie unless I'm allowed to name a film that might have some emphasis on pirates, to which I would say 'The Goonies' is the best pirate film ever made.

So, when checking out 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl', I could have been described as "disgruntled skeptic". I mean, who the hell thought they could take a beloved Disney ride and make it into a coherent summer popcorn movie? Gore Verbinski, that's who.

I loved 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Johnny Depp was incredible, Geoffrey Rush was a force of nature, and the story of the cursed pirates was awesome. High action, high fun, and a seemingly 'high' pirate (Depp) as our tour guide. I still can't find much about the film that turns me off. I find it to be the perfect mix of action/romance/horror/comedy..​. a beautiful thing to behold.

AVOID THE SEQUELS LIKE A VENEREAL DISEASE.

The Movie Itself is one that leaves you wondering, “who doesn’t love pirates?” Apparently the answer is no one as these films have become a huge success since this one graced the screen up until now with the release of the third film “At World’s End.” This film primarily stars Johnny Depp (as Captain Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom (as Will Turner), Keira Knightley (as Elizabeth Swann) and Geoffrey Rush (as Captain Barbossa).

With Johnny Depp in one of his most eccentric and fully engaged roles ever, he takes us along for the ride as his Captain Jack Sparrow sails the high seas getting himself into one mess after another. With amazing naval sequences, fantastic special effects and stunts this movie runs at a furious pace with non stop action and many laughs as it goes. A terrific family movie and great when watched as a trilogy with the other two films or it stands up very well on it's own. A top notch cast will make you forget what year it is and a great score and fantastic costumes fill in the gaps. Just a thoroughly well made and film with a great screenplay.
