Loosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he`s in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth`s childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl`s mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth`s doubloon necklace, and when she`s kidnapped by the ol` salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ship`s curse.
Verbinski`s PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, filled with rope-swinging heroes, crusty villains, treasure hoards, swift swordplay, and even wittier wordplay. Screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have crafted one of the most clever action-movie scripts in many moons, and this gives the filmmakers and cast (especially Depp) plenty of room to cut loose. Although the skeletal pirates may be a bit frightening for small children, there`s lots of humor to temper the scary moments, making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL a nearly flawless fun film.

Who doesn't love this Disney film that shows the wonderful talent of Johnny Depp. I bought it to complete my collection, and I will watch it again and again. This is the only one in the collection that I couldn't find locally. Thank you Overstock, you never let me down.

I loved this movie but I did feel that some parts may be very scary for younger children. I also ordered the second Pirates movie. The price from Overstock was unbeatable.

I always like a good swashbuckling movie and my grandaughter talked me into these as she had seen it on tv and wore out the tape I made for her. It was prettty good not all juvenile as I thought it would be, a good family adventure
