5 out of 5 - 25 Sep 2006
There are tonnes of extras (as you would expect
from 3 discs) and they are all very good, my favourites being
Deleted Scenes, Image Gallery and Moonlight Serenade Scene
Progression. There are only about 10 extras that you would
really be interested in or even watch, so there is no point
in all of these extras; most of the these are as boring as
hell to watch; such as Becoming Jack. The thick box that the
three-edition box set comes in is very attractive and feels
good.
The story (if you don't already know) *****: Set in the 1700's,
Port Royals ships stumble upon a young boy named Will Turner
(Orlando Bloom) lost at sea, they save him. Elizabeth (Keira
Knightly), the daughter of the governor discovers a golden
skull medallion around his neck, she fears he will be executed
for piracy, so she takes it herself. The story continues 8
years later. This is a truly awesome film; the graphics, the
plot, the acting and well, everything. Johnny Depp plays Jack
Sparrow and he is a truly believable pirate. All of the acting
is good.
The fighting scenes are awesome. Especially the one when
all of the pirates sneak up on the Royal Port's ship. The
graphics are excellent for when the Black Pearl's crew turn
skeleton-like. The plot is original, and very good. Children
under 9ish might not quite follow it. This film, as well as
being adventure/action, is also a comedy. There are laugh
out loud moments for both parents and children, this is a
real family film. This film came 22nd in USA's history of
best selling films, and it does live up to its standard.
As I said, you don't really need to buy this three-edition
box set; two discs would do you fine. But if you are a real
fan (like me) then you should buy this edition, even though
you may not ever open the third disc. The film itself earns
its 5 stars, and all of these extras are even for greater
value, 10/10.
