An instant classic! - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Reviews

Easily the best and most enjoyable movie in recent memory. This move will deserve the name "blockbuster" and will probably cause ripples throughout the movie industry. It will become the standard that every pirate movie from now on will be measured against Go see it now! The word of mouth on this show will be incredible and shows may begin to sell-out. It belongs in the same class as the first Star Wars Movie, Raiders of The Lost Arc, and Jaws. And just like those movies, the critics have again missed the mark. I think most of them came in expecting to write witty and sarcastic reviews that would make them look very clever. I mean this was a Pirate Movie, made by Disney, based on a theme park ride, and produced by Jerry Bruckhiemer! Imagine their surprise when the movie was exciting, well directed, with actors who kept the illusion real. The critics were left to look for something to criticise or be forced to become part of the masses. So, they gave it B's and said silly things like it was too long or their were too many fight scenes or the characters were too narrow. You could have said the same thing about Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Arc, and Jaws. Years from now people will still be watching this move at home long after all the critics have been forgotten.
