The roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow's idyllic pirate 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. In a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl, Elizabeth's childhood friend Will Turner joins forces with Jack. What Will doesn't know is that a cursed treasure has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead!

Rob's Movie Vault

Rob Gonsalves

Competently mounted if essentially uninspired action-adventure, with some anti-climactic moments, some cavernous dead spots, and a generally sputtering pace.

While Depp has had numerous memorable roles, Captain Sparrow is by far the most intriguing of his characters and displays his talent as an actor.

This comedy is well integrated into the story, helping us to get to know the characters and the relationships that arise between them, but always with the mind of offering the viewer pure popcorn entertainment of the first level. [Full Review in Spanish]

David Walsh

The one bright spot this summer has been Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl ... The story-line ... is silly, but comprehensible and coherent, with traces of Robert Louis Stevenson.

It's Johnny Depp who steals the show, creating a swashbuckling persona so outrageously regaling it would single-handedly guarantee sequels.
