Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End DVD

Advantages: Action and adventure, great scenes, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp
Disadvantages: A bit long

...Pirates of the Caribbean at World end is the third movie in the Pirates trilogy. It follows the crew of the Black Pearl (the Pirate ship) rescuing Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' locker and then preparing to fight the East Indian Trading Company who are intent on extinguishing piracy. I'm not going to spoil the rest of the plot/movie for you as I believe you should see it for yourself so I will just now review the rest of the DVD and what I thought of the film/films. At the box office it was actually the most successful film of 2007 and is the second most successful film in the series. I think even if action and adventure films aren't for you (they aren't my most favourite) this would still be a film you like as it is very funny in places, the sets are brilliant and the action really is very well choreographed. My one complaint with it...

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

Advantages: Good quality, action packed, Disney film
Disadvantages: hard to get hold of

...Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest This is a Walt Disney film and is the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl and is directed by Gore Verbinski. Both films are about old day pirates sailing the seas around the Caribbean, in waters full of weird and exciting things.

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest (DVD)

Swashbuckling, good fun.....Pirates of the Caribbean (DVD)

Advantages: Great fun all the family can enjoy
Disadvantages: It ends too soon

...Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl Captain Jack Sparrow?s pirate life is thrown into turmoil after his former first mate, Captain Barbossa mutinied and commandeered his ship, the infamous Black Pearl. Barbossa left Jack on a deserted island thinking that would be the last he saw him, but unfortunately for Barbossa (but not for us) Jack managed to escape. We catch up with Captain Jack several years later sailing into Port Royal (I say sailing , but the boat he has commandeered is sinking and he?s more bobbing along than sailing really). Once he's docked in Port Royal his mission is to find a replacement ship and fast. His plan however is sidetracked when whilst trying to charm two of the Governor?s men to let him board their ship he sees a lady fall from the cliff top. The lady in question turns out to...

Pirates of the Caribbean

Advantages: Boss battles with touch screen
Disadvantages: Generally everything else

...The much awaited third Pirates of the Caribbean game on DS, and, for me, it did not live up to the expectations. Admittedly the idea of being a pirate fighting other people can't be too bad, but so much else was poor: The graphics could have been better. There are not many levels. It doesn't take advantage of the touch screen, it is only really used for boss battles (which are quite good). There is very little skill required in ordinary battles, and so it gets quite repetitive. So, with the exception of the good boss battles and the mini game of liars dice (which can also be played as multiplayer), the game really only got the good publicity because of its name, not the game quality. Hope this review is helpful....

pirates of the caribbean

Advantages: family film
Disadvantages: none

...The Pirates of the Caribbean: The curse of the Black Pearl. This is the latest pirate movie to be released for our enjoyment. The story is about Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) who had his ship The Black Pearl Taken from him and then was marooned on an island. While a young Elizabeth Swann helps rescue a young boy (Will Turner) adrift on the high seas. She hides his necklace that he was wearing to save him from being discovered as a possible pirate. Anyway the trio come together and have to track down the pirate ship The Black Pearl. Each has reasons. Jack simply wants his ship back and to take revenge on his first mate that took his ship from him and will wants to rescue Elizabeth. As it happens some time earlier the pirate crew of The Black Pearl got their hands on some cursed treasure and the necklace that Will was wearing, is...

PIRATE JOKES OF THE CARIBBEAN

Advantages: Brilliant escapist fun
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy at times

...Before I start this op I just want to point out that the title does not include a pirate joke and neither will the op itself. It must be possible to review a pirate film without a subtle play on words like ‘this film was well worth the pieces of eight I paid to see it’ (damn). I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl last night and I have to say I went in without reading any reviews of it. I’d seen the trailer for it and it looked pretty terrible. I mean, if the best bits were a feisty heroine doing it for the feminists saying “Pain?, you should try wearing a corset!” and a bearded ‘arr me hearties’ pirate letting us know that you should believe in ghost stories “cos now your in one!” (oooh doesn’t it send shivers up and down your timber- damn...

The Music of Pirates of the Caribbean

Advantages: Very few
Disadvantages: A lot

...Klaus Badelt has mostly written music for a number of small German films, his first high profile assignment being the 2001 score for The Time Machine, which remains his best effort todate. Pirates of the Caribbean marks his first foray into the world of blockbusters, but with varying results. There are three basic themes in the score. The first is for Jack Sparrow that graces the score for a few times (most notably in "The Medallion Calls"), but does not figure quite as prominently as one would expect. Secondly is the theme for the Black Pearl that really can be considered as the main theme for the film. It is similar in character to Jack's theme but is more propulsive and action-oriented than swinging and heroic. The third theme is the romantic theme for Will and Elizabeth that is sweet but rather unspectacular. This score is a perfect...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl - Original Soundtrack

Pirates of the Caribbean - Third Time Lucky?

Advantages: good story, great acting, nice effects.
Disadvantages: you probably won't understand if you haven't seen the others.

...Note: This is a review for the film and not the DVD. ■The Background■ This is the highly anticipated third film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series which has caused a lot of excitement. After the release of the first movie 'The Curse of the Black Pearl' everyone thought it was a great film but wasn't sure about it's future, nobody knew if there was going to be a sequel to it however much everyone wanted it. Then last year the sequel 'Dead Man's Chest' hit cinemas nationwide to swarms of adoring fans. But upon watching it there were many disappointed fans who were expecting a lot more. The second film had taken a more slapstick comedy and worked it into the film which wasn't exactly greeted very well by viewers or critics. But, despite the slight unpopularity of the second film, most people have decided that...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - At World's End (Blu-ray)

Pirates of the caribbean - at worlds end

Advantages: Lots of fighting and extras
Disadvantages: Was rushed and this shows in places

...unresponsive to your movement and it can get annoying.A silly feature is how you gain life. You pick up a roast chickens that you can use to gain back life. There are also sub missions within missions to keep you entertained. This is good as even when you finish the game you may still have these sub missions to complete. They include Crab Pendants, Pirate Dice, Destroy Targets, and the Gold Idol, there are also sub-missions where you help fellow pirates. To do these simply talk to people with exclamation marks over their heads. By far the most enjoyable mini-games are the pirate dice and card games. The card game is my favorite which is just poker, by completeing jackinisms you can collect cards that will help you play the card game. they let you see other players cards etc. The graphics on this game are really good in some areas but simply...
