But Jack's idyllic life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the Governor's beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swann. Elizabeth's childhood friend, Will Turner, joins forces with Jack to commandeer the fastest ship in the British fleet, the HMS Interceptor, in a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl. The duo and their crew are pursued by Elizabeth's betrothed, the debonair, ambitious Commodore Norrington, aboard the HMS dauntless.

The curse they carry can be broken, only if a once-plundered treasure is restored.

    I am SO NOT interested in the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. For one, I can't stand Johnny Depp, and for two, it is a dark, pirate filled movie, and while it's a huge success for Disney, it's a huge failure as far as I am concerned.

    "The entire ocean. The entire wo'ld. Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs but what a ship is, what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom."

    The hype of pirates had long faded away until there was Pirates of the Caribbean. Meet the crew aboard the Black Pearl then become immersed in the legends and stories that follow. Watch Johnny Depp perform at his peak, as he throws himself into the character of Captain Jack Sparrow. But prepare to be blown away!

    From...Princess Monica Kwabena
    E-mail:monicae46@gmail.com
    Dear Friend.

    Princess Monica need your help.
    Good day and Compliments.

    I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of
    God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you
    abundantly and you would never regret this. I am a female student from
    University of Legon, Accra-Ghana.

    I am 24 yrs old. I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home
    oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know
    more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time
    coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my father
    died earlier two months ago and left me and my two junior brothers behind.

    He was a king in Ashanti land, which our town citizens titled him over
    sixteen years before his death. I was a princess to him and I am the only
    person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is
    still young and my mother is not leaned enough to know my entire father's
    wealth. He left the sum of USD 7.5m (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand US
    Dollars) in ECO BANK GHANA LTD.

    This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Gold Mining
    Company, development company (GMCG)) and chevron oil company operating in
    our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our
    jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money
    somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what
    belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without
    my present because I am a female as stated by our Ashanti culture in the
    town.

    Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the
    security company to your bank account and I strongly believe that by the
    grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay
    20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and
    another 10% interest of Annual after Income to you, for handling this
    transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.

    If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in
    lifting this fund, kindly reach me. Please, note that this transaction is
    100% risk free. My lawyer has assured me that this transaction is going to
    last for only 14( Fourteen) working days and I hope to commence the
    transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my picture as soon as I
    hear from you.

    God bless you.

    Yours sincerely.

    Jack Sparrow: "The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that some day. And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?"

    Pirates of the Caribbean is a sweeping action-adventure story set in an era when villainous pirates scavenged the Caribbean seas. This roller coaster tale teams a young man, Will Turner, with an unlikely ally in rogue pirate Jack Sparrow. Together, they must battle a band of the world's most treacherous pirates, led by the cursed Captain Barbossa, in order to save Elizabeth, the love of Will's life, as well as recover the lost treasure that Jack seeks. Against improbable odds, they race towards a climactic confrontation on the mysterious Isla de Muerta. Clashing their swords in fierce mortal combat, Will and Jack attempt to recapture The Black Pearl ship, save the British navy, and relinquish a fortune in forbidden treasure thereby lifting the curse of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Pirates of the Caribbean is a movie that has something for everyone - adventure, humor, romance, action, drama, even a bit of the supernatural. And all in just the right doses so that one doesn't overpower any of the others. The writing is wonderful - clever and articulate - and brought alive by a first rate cast. Keira Knightley was only 17 when this was filmed and her acting skills bring to mind Lauren Bacall at the same age.

    Johnny Depp IS Captain Jack Sparrow, having stepped right into the persona of a pirate who is more comfortable on sea than on land. Ruthless in his quest to retrieve his beloved ship and stay "afloat", as it were, he keeps us guessing as to what really lies in his heart, what makes him tick. Half the fun of the movie - most of it really - comes from watching to see what he will do and say next. Yes, it's a long movie, but I really couldn't find a boring part in the whole thing.

    See it - you won't be disappointed.
