Did you like it? Who was your favourite character? And why? I loved this film... Jack Sparrow was very funny
And I thought it was an all round amazing film.

I think Johnny Depp as
Captain Jack Sparrow
carried the whole film. Not that the rest of it was bad - it was all done very well - but it wouldn't have been anywhere near the same without Sparrow

I thought POTC was terrific. Johnny Depp was indeed inegral to my enjoyment of the film. All in all it was a clever, amusing and very entertaining film. I bought the dvd and I plan to enjoy it again very soon.

I went to see it thinking "huh... it must be bad, based on a Disney ride... lame..."
And I went out from the teather wanting to be a pirate and have a ship and sail the Caribbean and say: " Arrrrh ye landlubber" . A total pirate convert...
I loved this film! It was like an adventure matiné of old but with better special effects

I'll just add another quote from the invaluable Mr Rilstone and his review of PotC (
www.aslan.demon.co.uk/pirates.htm):
I have never been to Disneyland. I can however, think of much worse things to base action movies on than popular theme-park rides. Thousand page long linguistically inspired three volume novels, to take a random example. Theme park rides and action movies have a good deal in common: both are basically sequences of thrilling set pieces between which the viewer is propelled at break neck speed whether he likes it or not.

I love Johnny Depp, and thought his performance was the best Keith Richards impersonation I've ever seen! I thought he movie was entertaining, but once was enough for me.

Watched this for the first time last night, and I have to say that the best thing about it was - the actress that played Elizabeth. What a beautiful woman!

Kiera Knightley... Yes...
Facially she reminds me of Helena Bonham Carter...but improved

I got this for Christmas but haven't watched it yet. I'm glad to get all your opinions. (Loved your comments, Ermingard.) I see I'm going to enjoy the characters, but does anyone have anything to say about the plot?

It's very fast-paced. I really like it... The Sword fight with Orlando and Jack Sparrow is the coolest

I re watched Pirates this past weekend and found it just as entertaining as the first time. A masterful piece of work by all involved. "Best Pirate movie ever."

I haven't actually seen many pirate films... What other ones are good?
