"An awkward pirate epic that's jampacked with energy, ambition and spectacular effects."
Stephanie Zacharek, SALON.COM

  "If you're weary of summer movies that play like extended MTV videos, you'll luxuriate in Mr. Verbinski's purely cinematic technique."
Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS

  "Pirates of the Caribbean is fun -- but only as long as you don't expect much."
Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

  "Bristling with brash leaps and thrilling spills, Pirates is a stunt fan's heaven."
Bruce Westbrook, HOUSTON CHRONICLE

  "As forgettable as a bad day in the Disneyland parking lot."
Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES

  "Buries its treasures -- mainly Johnny Depp in eye shadow and dreads as Captain Jack Sparrow -- in briny clichés."
Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

  "A pretty fun ride all by itself."
Jeff Strickler, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

  "Pirates steams ahead on a mirthless course of script beats and busy action sequences, coldly steered by director Gore Verbinski to the boom-blast-blare coordinates of producing commodore Jerry Bruckheimer."
Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

  "Pirates reminds me of a vintage MGM musical, a movie that is more choreographed than directed, and one that serves up good clean fun of the PG-13 variety."
 Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER

  "This movie is far too long."
Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER
"Depp's scoundrel Jack Sparrow exudes a grungy, flippantly kooked-out pansexuality, making Pirates the most flat-out fun summer movie of its ilk."

 Brent Simon, ENTERTAINMENT TODAY

 "Orlando Bloom is the greatest actor who ever lived. The mortal cast members are also enjoyable...and indeed, Captain Jack will get you high tonight."
 Gregory Weinkauf, NEW TIMES

  "Pirates is Indiana Jones on the high seas, complete with serial B-movie concept, wall-to-wall action, and fantastic myths come true."
 Scott Warren, PREMIERE MAGAZINE

  "Yo ho, yo ho! A full refund for me!"
 Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR

  "This is one of the few summer movies this year that actually feels like a summer movie."
 Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY

  "Pirates of the Caribbean makes us appreciate the absurd joys of a sadly underused genre, and demonstrates that Walt Disney hasn't entirely forgotten how to show us a good time."
 Rob Vaux, FLIPSIDE MOVIE EMPORIUM

  "Johnny Depp's roguish Jack Sparrow is every bit as unforgettable as his squeamish Ichabod Crane in 'Sleepy Hollow.'"
 Betty Jo Tucker, REELTALK MOVIE REVIEWS

  "A film that dares to be smart, reasonably complicated and scary while swashing its buckles."
 Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

  "... a rollicking carnival of swordplay, stunts, chills and romance -- sly, witty, exciting and, perhaps, the best film of the summer."
 Dawn Taylor, PORTLAND TRIBUNE

  "A giddily goofy bit of old-fashioned nonsense, a swashbuckler with supernatural overtones and a jolly sense of fun that keeps it surprisingly light on its feet."
 Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION

  "I enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean enough to recommend it but there are a couple of serious flaws with it that should be addressed."
 Peter Sobczynski, CRITIC DOCTOR

 "Never before have I been so thrilled about being so wrong: despite all my early skepticism, Pirates ends up one of the most entertaining movies of the past few years."
 Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM

  "It's something we've been lacking at the cinema for a while now: pure fun."
 Widgett Walls, NEEDCOFFEE.COM

  "Depp merece ser indicado ao Oscar por sua performance – afinal, interpretar um matemático esquizofrênico ou um policial corrupto dificilmente envolve tantos riscos quanto o de viver um pirata como Jack Sparrow."
 Pablo Villaca, CINEMA EM CENA

  "An entertaining flick, but not for the full 2 hours and 20 minutes...seems a bit long."
 John Venable, SUPERCALA.COM

  "A pirate movie made with a pirate's sensibility for filmmaking."
 Joshua Tyler, CINEMABLEND.COM

  "From stem to stern this rousing adventure shines ship-shape and Bristol fashion."
 Tony Toscano, TALKING PICTURES (U.S.)

  ""If a movie based on a ride can be this great, I can’t wait for Log Flume: The Movie or Motion Simulator WITH A VENGEANCE.""
 Fred Topel, ABOUT.COM

  "This movie is a lot more entertaining than the Disney ride itself, and will perhaps stand the test of time -- and repeat viewings -- even more."
 Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM

  "The movie is marvelously filmed with visual touches recalling fantasy specialists Terry Gilliam and Ray Harryhausen, among others."
 David Sterritt, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

  "Buckles swashes, shivers timbers and battens down hatches the way summertime adventures ought to, and its interminable storyline is made up for by its juicy performances."
 Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM

"A theme park ride has been successfully transferred to the screen."
 Roger Moore, ORLANDO SENTINEL
