I know it's a bit late but I wrote one for Ciao and thought I'd also post it on here as a GAD attempt only to find they don't sell that particular DVD. Hmph. Ack well I still thought I'd post it here for you guys to view. Enjoy:
Pirates Of The Carribean
------------------------
Don't you just love it when you're walking through you're local HMV and find a gem of a DVD in their half price sale? You know what I mean, a film like Gattaca or Top Gun. Well Pirates Of The Caribbean may not be as innovative as Gattaca or emotional as Top Gun but this is definitely a modern day masterpiece that you definitely wont regret paying full price for.
By the director of the popular horror film, The Ring, Gore Verbinski has delivered a spectacular film with a cast that some directors can only dream of. The up and coming A-List elf Orlando Bloom delivers a surprisingly good performance as the dashing young Will Turner, the dazzling Keira Knightley who plays the perfect love interest and Cap'n Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp.
Mr. Depp delivers a stunning performance after a fair few years out off the movie making game in his come back film, and what a come back it is. His fabulously camp performance as the comical yet skilled pirate of the seven seas is one that simply does not disappoint. His cheeky little comments provide well-needed light relief in this otherwise generic pirate movie.
"Welcome to the Caribbean love!" Says the apathetic scally wag in an attempt to get Keira to loosen up and drink some Rum. Just like a real pirate. It's grade A material I'll tell you that.
Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good film without him only that without Cap'n Jack this film would have far too much doom and gloom for your average viewer, which, in itself can be comical.
The plot itself is a solid one typical of the genre and as you would have guessed from the 12 certificate it's a bit darker than usual for a Disney film. The CG for example allows us to see the skeleton remains of a crew of the damned. Probably not a good idea to play the lenient parent with this one and show it to your kids. I'm 16 and still jumped out of my seat the first time I saw one of them!
However this is not about me looking like a jumping fool in the cinema. This is a list of my opinions; you may not like them; you may not agree with them but don't argue! "Do you think it wise to cross blades with a pirate” I don’t! So go and buy a copy from the shops or plunder your mates house and take his for a stunning adventure on the high seas.

Cubist, I wasn't jumping to your defence. If you scroll down you will see why I wrote that.

He can wish it upon me if he so desires it is something I shall just have to deal with. I fully acknowledge the fact that a variety of people hate me and if they hate me to that extent then they have the right to say it. If I die of cancer then I die of cancer, if he means it truthfully then he would feel no remorse and in his eyes I would get exactly what I deserve. Wish it upon me if you deem that your punishment of choice.

I loathe and detest far too many people. I just can't take insults though. I wear my heart on my sleeve and everytime I hear a comment although sometimes I can take it and just let it brush off when so many people are constantly bombarding me with these insults it feels like there is some kind of massive faceless army of hatred and I am standing alone. It really gets to me and makes me wish things, well you know on people. Apart from my one exception who I have given up on ever befriending I really do care about what people think of me and friendship means a lot to me. It tears me up inside when so many people openly express hatred towards me.

Ah. Well at least you didn't say it was amazing :D
Personally I thought it was poor, but not rubbish. About 4/10.

It's allright, not great. I thought there was too much comedy in it and it was a bit too well new if you get my meaning? I think Arnie was the only person from the orginal 2 films to enter into production of the 3rd. I guess I just wanted it to have a lot more things we could relate to from the first few films. Ack well, still good though.

It's allright, not great. I thought there was too much comedy in it and it was a bit too well new if you get my meaning? I think Arnie was the only person from the orginal 2 films to enter into production of the 3rd. I guess I just wanted it to have a lot more things we could relate to from the first few films. Ack well, still good though.
