The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
is the first in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. As far as I am
concerned it is the best one out of the bunch and so it will be the only one I
will review on this blog J.
Pirates follows the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, a
blacksmith’s apprentice, who are striving for a. revenge against his former colleagues
in the case of Jack and saving fair lady Elizabeth Swan in the case of Will.
The antagonists is Captain Barbossa and the crew of the Black Pearl. They are
cursed by the treasure that they had once sought to find making them basically
undead. Orlando Bloom plays Will, and since he was just coming off the Lord of
the Rings movies, they made him the star. His performance was eclipsed,
however, by Johnny Depp as Jack. Depp plays Jack as this zany, slightly crazy
misfit that believes in the right to be a gentleman of fortune. He is great in
this role and is the saving grace in the subsequent films.
The movie is based very loosely on the Disney ride Pirates
of the Caribbean. Since the movie’s premier, they have stuck Jack in various
parts throughout the ride, but a careful view of the movie reveals many scenes
that are pre-movie. I challenge you to find them J.
Now just to close. The Hillywood Show’s Tribute to Jack
Sparrow because it’s funny!
