"Based on the famous Disney parks attraction, 'Pirates of the Caribbean' debuted in theaters with a bang, in a feature-length film directed by Gore Verbinski ('Rango') and with Johnny Depp at the peak of his acting, transforming Jack Sparrow into one of the most memorable anti-heroes in cinema - and receiving an Oscar nomination for the role. With frenetic sequences, just like a park ride, 'The Curse of the Black Pearl' is pure entertainment, rescuing a subgenre of fiction (pirate stories) that seemed forgotten."
