	NPR : 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Sequel Debuts
		Fresh Air from WHYY, July 7, 2006 · Inspired by a ride at Disneyworld, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a surprise blockbuster in 2003, grossing close to half a billion dollars and winning an Oscar nomination for Johnny Depp -- a rare honor for a comic lead performance.
		In fact, real pirates tended toward even nastier behavior, like gruesome tortures (holding lighted matches to a victim's eyes was a favorite) or hacking their prisoners to death with swords.
		Pirates did indeed dress in colorful garb, they prized parrots (which could fetch a high price in Europe), and they flew the Jolly Roger flag to intimidate their victims.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) is an adventure and romantic movie set in the Caribbean during the early 1700s.
		It is based on the much-loved Pirates of the Caribbean attractions at Disney theme parks around the world, developed by Walt Disney himself.
		However, the poor reception received by other Disney films based upon its theme park attractions (The Country Bears, The Haunted Mansion) suggested that the success of Pirates of the Caribbean was an exception and not the rule.

	etixland film review - Pirates of the Caribbean
		When a highly anticipated film finally meets its audience, two predictable events occur: those determined to hate the film and filmmakers will confirm their own worst expectations and decry the work loudly; others predisposed to reveling in every frame of the film will gush over it with equally unwavering passion.
		PIRATES alone may not "revive" the scuttled, skeletal remains of the pirate movie genre nor should it carry that burden, though I've already seen many previews and early reviews harp on that very point.
		Film content, techniques and audiences have changed far too much and will never go back, thus it would be foolish to attempt reviving pirate cinema of the past.

	The Raw Story \| China censors takes scissors to latest 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film
		China's film censors have taken the scissors to the latest entry in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, cutting in half Chow Yun-Fat's role because it allegedly humiliates the Chinese people.
		The cuts were made according to the "relevant regulations on film censorship" as well as "China's actual conditions," film official Zhang Pimin told the agency.
		Zhang said the deletions would not spoil the film but fans on sina.com, a popular website, said it was now difficult to follow the plot.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - PotC Wiki - a Wikia wiki
		Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is the third and final installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy, released on May 25, 2007 as the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest—itself the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
		Mass executions of pirates and pirate sympathizers are underway at Fort Charles in Port Royal, at the behest of Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander).
		In the film, it is unclear whether Elizabeth's supposed fidelity would allow Will to be with her, but the writers confirmed that the flash of green light seen at the end is the sign that Will's soul has returned to Earth and that they can live as a family.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
		The character of the pirate lord Mistress Ching is likely inspired by the real-life Chinese pirate Cheng I Sao (or Ching Yih Saou), who controlled the South China Sea with her large pirate fleet in the early 1800s.
		While this film does show its budget and is quite visually arresting, it lacks a fair share of resolution to the trilogy and confuses with its overflowing exposition rather than purely existing to entertain.

	Political Film Society - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
		Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a fantasy tale set at Port Royal, Jamaica, a seventeenth century fortress in the Caribbean (though actually filmed at St. Vincent), directed by Gore Verbinski.
		Caribbean pirates are featured as a videogame and as a Disney World ride, so expectations ride high about the film.
		When she accidentally falls into the sea, he rescues her, but when he reappears on land, he is identified as a pirate, is captured, and is sentenced to death; but soon he escapes via acrobatic moves reminiscent of Jacky Chan's choreography (a feat repeated much later when he again escapes the gallows).

	Pirates Of The Caribbean : film review
		The latter is particulary funny as the one-eyed pirate ghost (together with a 'blink and you'll miss it' homage to Minority Report).
		The film never takes itself too seriously and the story is so fast paced that its two and a half hour running time never seems to drag.
		Pirates Of The Caribbean is based upon a ride in Disney World, but thankfully it's not a cheesy cross-marketing gimmick.

	The Film Asylum - Pirates of the Caribbean film review
		Ask anyone who has been lucky enough to enjoy the Pirate of the Caribbean theme park ride and they will tell you that it is one of Disney's most popular attractions for a good reason.
		Pirates of the Caribbean isn't just a good old fashioned swashbuckling yarn about sailors with wooden legs and people shouting "brace the yard arm", it is also a film about a mysterious curse that plagues a group of pirates which can only be broken once every piece of stolen treasure is reunited once again.
		Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and that's saying alot, because I've seen heaps.

		On the other hand, Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" offers a refreshing new flavor to this season's franchise-oriented movie roster, while still living up to the mandated big-budget summer popcorn experience we all love.
		The movie is adapted from Disneyland's four-decades-old "Pirates" amusement park ride and the screenplay is inspired by classic pirate tradition, tastefully incorporating cliches such as treasure chests, pet parrots, planks, pirate caves and everything in between.
		All in all, "Pirates" delivers an abundance of enjoyable big-budget popcorn action with the right amount of humor and charisma for the whole family to enjoy (the PG-13 rating is for the extremely sensitive young ones -- keep in mind it's still Disney).

	History in the Movies
		Villainous pirates, or buccaneers as many preferred to be called, did indeed sail those waters: sacking, pillaging, and plundering.
		Even Tortuga, the pirate city depicted in the film, (and the ride) was a real place, founded by buccaneers in 1630 on an island off Haiti.
		Seems that some pirates were encouraged, even commissioned by the British government to do their nasty piratey things, so long as they did it only to the Spanish, Britain's rival on the high seas and in the New World.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End :: Film Review :: ABC Adelaide
		Sadly, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End proves that the “third time lucky” adage doesn’t hold true when Hollywood producers are trying to make lightning strike the same spot once again.
		As disorderly and overblown as the original was humourous and well-structured, Pirates II left a tremendously disappointing taste in one’s mouth, and over the last few months many of us have been desperately hoping that the third film in the franchise would undo some of the damage done by number two.
		My verdict on this film: stay home, put the first Pirates movie into your DVD player, close the doors, take the phone off the hook, and try to forget numbers two and three were made at all.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
		There's enough good here, in fact, that it's a great pity that the picture is saddled with at least ninety minutes of wasted characters and deadening exposition in an endeavour that is finally as cynical as the quick reference to the Holocaust in a pile of pirate-sympathizer shoes.
		The film is so obsessed with what isn't important that it convinces the audience to try to decipher its impenetrable--and useless--MacGuffins.
		What's truly troubling, though, is that if pirates are first equated with terrorists, then portrayed as heroes fearlessly championing a Braveheart-ian "Freedom!" (indeed, Captain Elizabeth delivers a William Wallace speech during the picture's most embarrassing sequence), the message is that terrorists are the defenders of the ideals set forth in our constitution.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Movie Review - MovieWeb
		The film's plot is twisted into a labyrinth of deals, debts and double-crosses, and the story is at times impossible to follow.
		The film's ending offers a few surprises, while tying up the loose ends (and there are many of them) from all three films, and manages to still leave you yearning for more (will they continue the franchise?).
		Some may consider the third 'Pirates of the Caribbean' to be the best of the three, with viewers finally receiving some much needed closure.

		Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: (Klaus Badelt and co.) When popular action producer Jerry Bruckheimer was announced to be making a film adaptation of the legendary Disneyland theme part attraction, fans of the swashbuckling genre erupted with hope and anticipation.
		There is no single film music composer alive today who is such an expert at the genre as Erich Wolfgang Korngold was in the Golden Age, although several modern composers have followed in his tradition and produced swashbuckling scores.
		Thus, the lack of soul, spirit, and spit in Pirates of the Caribbean is a matter of a massive failure in construction rather than instrumentation alone.

		Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, the second film to feature Johnny Depp’s fey, floppy Captain Jack Sparrow, invokes one of the most familiar names in pirate myth: Davy Jones, the fiendish dweller of the deep whose legendary locker (a euphemism for the bottom of the sea) houses the souls of drowned sailors.
		The sequence is an early stumble for the film; the clumsy stereotypes of the island’s natives have already drawn complaints from rights groups.
		Left disgraced after the first Pirates film, The Curse of the Black Pearl, ex-commodore Norrington (Jack Davenport) hatches a plan to hand Jones’s chest over to Cutler Beckett, in return for the title and status he lost in the first film.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End \| Film School Rejects
		The new “Pirates of the Caribbean” film is different because the news surrounding its release has made as much buzz as the movie itself.
		This is because “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” has such a complicated (and often confusing) plot that it’s easier to just sum up the trailer rather than delve into the heavy-duty story details.
		I was somewhat lukewarm to the film after the screening, but after watching the trailer again, I am anxious to see it again – and this is not a common thing for me and movies that run close to three hours.

		There is a special moment in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End in which Johnny Depp reaches into his skull and pulls his brains out.
		Now, at the cliffhanger climax of Pirates II Sparrow was killed, yet the show obviously can't go on without him, hence the team must somehow revive him so that they can get on with their lumbering adventure.
		The supernatural elements central to these films also mean that none of the characters really dies.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End - Obsessed With Film
		One of the best fantasy epics ever made (and it totally puts the latest Pirates of the Caribbean film to absolute shame in terms of pacing and narrative structure) and one that I can watch over and over again is the great Jason and the Argonauts.
		So the film ends up being about 127 minutes of plot before a huge fight scene at the end which goes on, and on and on and on until it reaches it’s climatic moment, but by then you couldn’t really care less and you had probably forgotten why they were all fighting in the first place.
		Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is too complicated, too convoluted and severely uninteresting, resulting in a slightly amusing but hollow special-effects yarn.

		Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum.
		The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film.
		It's odd to have such a slim story from the whizzes of Pixar, and the film pales a bit from their other films (though can that be a fair comparison?).

	The Reel Deal \| Movie Reviews by Mark Sells
		But unlike other questionable films that spawn trilogies, the box office numbers for "Pirates" are hard to argue against.
		All of this occurs, and yet, the film still manages to squeak in a quick rum shortage, a few ship battles, and an occasional romantic entanglement.
		The humor and the character traits are aplenty, but the writers seem to have taken the joy out of pirate-hood, inundating the film with laborious dialogue, twisted subplots, and disenfranchising many of the core characters.
