We have to recruit this reviewer to the SDMB Cracked me up!
I will be seeing it, oh yes I will! I’m all for zombie pirates, but the primary reason I’m so excited is Johnny Depp in eyeliner!!
Now I know why they call it “google.”
Oh my gosh. I am howling with laughter! Hee! Thank you for posting that. giggle snort
Arr, matey! I be a straight pirate king, I be, and many are the wenches who’ve fallen by me cutlass, if ye know what I mean! Har har!
Yea, I’m going. I figure the girls can ogle the men in pirate shirts while I watch the cannons, explosions, and swordfighting.
<nitpick>The Country Bears was a show, not a ride.</nitpick>

Well, since the first time I heard about this flick it has been Monkey Island: The Movie for me, and I will not let people tell me otherwise!
I spend my Sunday afternoons playing with a sword and dagger. You’d better believe I’m in!

3 more days for zombie pirates, Johnny with eyeliner and loads of buckles to be swashed.
And for the record, I know several straight guys who are all hyped to see this movie.
Ive been a fan of Depp’s ever since he was a pimply faced teenage lead guitarist playing at South FLorida clubs. I have no idea who Bloom is but Geoffery Rush is in this pirate flick too???
Bring on the skullduggery!
OK, so I saw Pirates last night. It’s pretty good. Lots of action, lush settings, fairly witty dialog, and great sight gags. Johnny Depp’s first step onto the dock was hillarious. It’s not Citizen Kane, but it’s not Cutthroat Island, either.
My daughter thought pretty well of both Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom (though she thought Depp should lose the eye-liner!), and Keira Knightley is a pretty and gutsy heroine, with hair that mysteriously restores itself to perfect order seconds after a fight, a swim through shark-infested waters, or a drunken revel on the beach.
The special effects are stunning. As anyone who’s seen the trailers know, the cursed pirates
turn into rotting skeletons
when seen by moonlight. The movie, naturally, has as many scenes as possible set at night, so that the pirates can move quickly in and out of the patches of moonlight. The CGI effects are seamless and utterly realistic looking – and pretty gross!
Besides Depp and Bloom, Geoffrey Rush chewed the scenery pretty well, and Jonathan Price was quite good as the (somewhat clueless) governor. There are two sets of comedy relief, a pair of low-ranking pirates and a pair of low-ranking soldiers, all of whom keep the action light-hearted.
The only real criticism I have (and remember that it is a summer movie, not Truffaut) is that the battle scenes go on a little too long. The only reference to the Disneyland ride is a (mercifully brief) singing of the ride’s theme song “Yo-Hoy-Ho”. Otherwise, it’s a hoot.
I loved it. My GF said many scenes were taken directly from the ride. I don’t know, having never ridden it.
Depp and Rush were fantastic. Depp actually does a great english accent. The only thing is that Depp seems too young to have been a captain of a pirate ship.
OMG I loved it. Depp was on fire. Totally magnetic. He’s got the crazy eyes. I think I was smiling almost every time he was on screen which is - of course - most of the movie.
I did catch several ride references but I think there are a lot more. The bit with the dog and the key is straight out of the ride and it was great.
I’m thinking about seeing this again just to ogle Depp a bit more.
The movie is tight and i’ve seen it twice everybody go see it! Savvy;)
That’s what I was thinking. Then I found out that Johnny Depp is 40! Forty years old…I had no idea he was forty. I thought he was maybe 35 at the oldest. Anyway, he still looked a bit young to be a pirate captain but now that I know he’s 40 it makes it easier.
can you believe he’s 40? He needs to start promoting some kind of aging cream. They’ll sell like hotcakes!
You know, I’ve heard from at least 3 people who’ve seen the movie twice now. This is impressive.
I think I will go again.
