Undoubtedly reviewed thousands of times already, this set is perfect during those lazy, rainy Saturdays for both children and adults alike. The acting is entertaining and the special effects are superb. Sometimes the personal relationships are difficult to follow and many of the action sequences border on the unbelieveable, but the set still provides hours of clean entertainment you don't mind watching over and over again.

I ordered the trilogy, but the first movie was bad. They replaced it along with sending two other movies, also. This reassured me of a TRULY GREAT seller. They care!!!!!!!

Johnny Depp is the only character who could have pulled his character off. All the actors/actresses are prefect in thier roles. Great movies for the wole family. Recommend this for family viewing. Sit back, pop some popcorn, relax and enjoy a day of movies with the kids.

Arrived on time, in better shape than advertised. Reasonablly priced. A good deal and will highly recommend vendor to everyone.

The add stated that the item was both blue ray and DVD but it was only a Blue ray addition. Since I did not own a Blue ray player and had to that dant no need for one was not impressed with produce. Still do not know if it works or not. Will give it as a gift to some one soon.

the movies that I bought is great. I received the movies in a timely manner. the transaction was hassle-free. I love to shop with Amazon. Keep up the good work.

We have been wanting to get these movies for awhile now. Had a great price at the right time. One of my wife's favorite movies!!!!

I had been relatively oblivious to these movies until the promotion surrounding "On Stranger Tides" (OST) captured the imagination of my 7-year-old son. After seeing OST, it didn't take too terribly much cajoling from my son to take the plunge (ARRR) and purchase the Trilogy preceding it.

I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by the continuity of the films and how well they work together as a group. We've watched all three movies back-to-back on more than one occasion. While, in my opinion, the movies are definitely targeted toward kids, if you're willing to suspend a little disbelief the stories are a lot of fun for adults too. They are also funnier than I expected. Because of the enormous publicity reach of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise I'm spare you another redundant Roger Ebert-esque movie review with specifics, but Johnny Depp (and the writers) do a really good job of creating a larger-than-life character without making a superhero out of him. Also, it must be said that Keira Knightley is simply delightful.

In my case, the real fun of these movies has been witnessing the joy they have brought to my child. He is now absolutely engrossed by all things Pirates of the Caribbean and has taken to exploring intellectually the historical fact & fiction surrounding the tales. Those who have not yet been introduced might want to test the waters with one movie and build your collection (I'd recommend the first one, "The Curse of the Black Pearl"), but if your kid reacts like mine you will soon own the whole set.

Watch out! If your thinking of getting The Trilogy 6-disc set listed as (2008), which is a UK release, look at the back cover image. If it is accurate for this item, then the At World's End 2-disc set is Region B, and therefore will not play on Region A (USA & Canada. The other movies are shown as all-regions (A,B,C) compatible. I checked this same version on the Amazon UK site, and the image used allows you to zoom in clearly at the back cover. This verifies the At World's End set is Region B. So unless you have a region free BD player, it will not play on a Region A (US & Canada) player. I attempted to update Amazon's information, but they have this datapoint listed as "Region 0, 1, 2"; which is incorrect for Blu-ray. Blu-ray regions are A, B, C. Only DVD regions are numbered.

I was skeptical when I first heard that Disney was making a movie based on the Pirates of Caribbean ride in Disney. However, this series has exceeded all expectations. It's a funny, swashbuckling trilogy. Johnny Depp really carries the movies as Captain Jack Sparrow, the witty, amoral pirate captain. Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly are also good, and the supporting actors (including the monkey) have some funny scenes. I'd say the first movie is the best and probably the one people will watch over and over, but all three are worth seeing at least once. I'd perhaps buy the first, and rent the latter two.
