| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | They're back with another great movie! Pirates returns with yet another fast-paced, action packed adventure movie, and another mess Jack (sorry, Captain Jack) has gotten himself into. Although a bit confusing at times, this movie continues with the quality you would expect from Disney. There are some new great actors and the ones we know and love from the first movie. Another must see... be sure to stay tuned for Pirates 3, supposed to come out this year (2007). |

| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | The best movie I've ever seen in my life. It is my favorite of all time. The plot of this movie fits intricately together and makes for an amazing action movie. I'm not a big fan of action/ adventure, but Pirates does a great job of balancing the heart-stopping sword fighting with a wonderful plot and the most excellent sounding music I've ever heard. This will definitely become one of your favorites, too. I haven't met anyone yet who didn't LOVE it. |
