September 11, 2009Without a doubt one of Johnny Depp's best played character roles, which of course absolutely made the film.
Some clever scenes, particulary with the fighting skeletons, plus some pretty comical parts throughout. The film itself doesn?t quite make the grade for me that everyon...( read more) -

David Edelstein, Slate
At, say, 85 minutes, this would have been a jolly little swashbuckler, but at 143 it turns into an unholy trial. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

May 15, 2009Call me old-fashioned, but I really choose this one over the sequels. It just looks like the writers have put way more thought into it. They just wanted to make a really cool pirate movie. With the sequels, I don't know. To me it seems like all they want to do is create a blockbuster and put as many special effects in it as possible.
You have got to see this. You don't want to die not having seen this. -
