    Opening July 9, 2003 from the Walt Disney Pictures.

    Story:
    "For the roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp), the crystalline waters of the Caribbean, like the high seas the world over, present a vast playground where adventure and mystery abound. But Jack’s idyllic life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa (Rush), steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the Governor’s (Pryce) beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swann (Knightly). Elizabeth’s childhood friend, Will Turner (Bloom), joins forces with Jack to commandeer the fastest ship in the British fleet, the HMS Interceptor, in a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl. The duo and their motley crew are pursued by Elizabeth's betrothed, the debonair, ambitious Commodore Norrington (Davenport), aboard the HMS Dauntless. Unbeknownst to Will, there is a curse that has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead, where each moonlight, they are transformed into living skeletons. The curse they carry can be broken only if a once-plundered treasure is restored."

    Umm...someone doesn't get action very often. :rolleyes:

    Anywho, me being a huge Disney fan have been looking foward to this movie for more than a year. At last, it will be here in a few days. Johnny Depp is the perfect pirate and Orlando Bloom is a great hero. The other guy in the movie....uhhh, whatever.

    This storyline does NOT follow the one on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. (edit: See FreeFloatingAngel, I said they do not follow the movie's plot!!!!)

    Usually, Disney makes movies and then makes rides. Now, they're making movies from rides. First came the Country Bears which sucked ass, now there's this movie, and next will be The Haunted Mansion.

    This movie is the first Disney movie that's rated PG-13 and I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, it is. This movie must kick ass if they have to make history like that.

    The best part about all this, I'm going to be AT Disneyland when the movie comes out on July 9th. They have an AMC theatre around there and I'm going to watch it there!

    They had the premier for this movie on Saturday the 28th and all the celebs came to watch it on this huge movie screen that was erected on the Rivers of America INSIDE Disneyland. Just picture a giant movie screen behind a river, outside. Cool, huh?!

    :D

    There was another movie made after a ride. Can't remember what it was. A scary elevator thing, I think it was twilight something. I don't know, but it exists.

    woohoo finally a movie that im waiting for. and since orlando bloom is dead sexy, he will make this movie oh that much better ;D johnny depp as a pirate scares me though.

    jawknee - i went on the ride at Disney World. it was about the actual pirates of the caribbean, the movie story did NOT come from the ride but from the history of the actual pirates.

    LT - Tower of Terror! BEST ride ever. yeah Disney Channel made a movie from it, didn't have much to actually do with the ride. actually Tower of Terror came from the Twilight Zone, I think.

    I saw the previews for it and it looks kinda crappy. But on the other hand, if the movie isn't comedy or porn, I probably won't like it.

    I am definitely going to see this movie. I think it looks pretty cool.
    I am a fan of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom so most likely I will enjoy it. :)

    There you go again! I never said they were the same things!! I SAID THEY WERE DIFFERENT. Dude, read my posts carefully before responding, please!

    Oh, and LinkinTheory, The Tower of Terror was a ride based on The Twilight Show which came out and then they made a ride for it...so that's not an example of a ride-into-a-movie idea. ;)

    i KNOW you said they were different. i was clearing up the fact that you said they made movies from rides. they didn't get the movie idea from the ride.

    so they got the title from it. you do realize that the pirates of the caribbean really existed, right? that's what the ride was about. the movie did not come from the ride, trust me. but that doesn't mean they still won't advertise the movie right by the ride ;D

    I don't really like this movie much, it seems really stupid. Most girls I know are only seeing this movie because they think Orlando Bloom is 'hot'. :wth: I dunno what the #### they see in him.

    Okay, then why would it be a Disney movie? Trust me, I know more about this than you do. Disney planned this out years ago: to do 3 movies from 3 attractions at their park and this is movie 2. Trust me, you are wrong.

    I wanna see it because Orlando Bloom is in it....hes friggin Legolas. And Johnny Depp really pulls off the pirate look. Plus when the undead guys walk into the moonlight and change into the skeletons they got some damn good effects there

    I saw the movie tonight and it was AWESOME! The acting was superb, the action was amazing, and the special effects and imagery were perfect and breathtaking. The comedy was hilarious too. Johnny Depp delivered an amazing performance as Captain Jack Sparrow and Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley turned in extraordinary performances as Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Not a moment of the 150 minutes movie isn't filled with action or comedy, it's truely one of the best of the year. The numerous swordfights and battle scenes make the movie action packed and filled to the brim with fun. You will not be bored when you see this movie.

    Final Score: 9.9

    -0.1 for that annoying skeleton monkey.






    Best Disney movie ever.

    I agree with what you said. I didn't realize that there was going to be comedy in the movie when I saw it. That kinda surprised me.
    All in all, it was a very enjoyable movie. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom were excellent. Oh yeah, that damn monkey annoyed me too! :lol:
