Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl [Blu-ray]

A fabulous knockabout film!

I recently purchased an LCD TV and in order to take advantage of its HD capability I splashed out on a Blue-ray player as well as a Sound bar. While I accepted that I would be getting a superior picture I wasn't exactly blown away by the BR disks I bought .That is until yesterday.Having ordered this disk over the weekend, I loaded it into the tray and pressed play.Talk about revelation. The clarity of the picture is out of this world. Add the sound quality. (Note to self, must purchase woofer) and I was very impressed.However special effects do not make a film. To that end this film is amazing. Fast paced, very funny, brilliant acting and what do you have.A decent film.Now if only Hollywood could repeat this formula on a more regular basis.System.TV Panasonic TX-32LZD80BR player Sony BDPS350Sound bar Yamaha HTY750

The best of the Pirates series. Excellent fun, could not be better.If only the writers of the entire series had managed to be as consistently good as Johnny Depp is with his character. Worth watching any of the films for Depps Captain Jack Sparrow interpretation, but the 1st and 2nd films are the best. Depp himself could not be better, his acting is excellent in all of them.

The first film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series which introduces us to a great cast of colourful characters and the amazing visuals that have allowed these films to keep on coming and still be enjoyed by movie goers. This is not the strongest offering in the series in my opinion but does a great job of introducing you to the main protagonists and getting you to understand the times and way of life being dealt with in the film. Well worth checking out but for me there are better films in the series.

good film

Who can resist Jonny Depp in this excellent adventure. One of my favourite movies!

For the most part this movie is displaying the content in uhd, but I noticed 1 or 2 short scenes near the beginning that are not in uhd.I wouldn't say it's a reason not to buy it though.Thoroughly enjoyed regardless. I'll probably end up buying the rest of the movies in uhd.
