      Charlotte Observer

      A film that dares to be smart, reasonably complicated and scary while swashing its buckles.

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      Verbinski puts a Jackie Chan flourish of high energy and gymnastic action on the swashbuckling stunts and swordplay and keeps this lark sailing along.

      Pirates offers something for everyone: Bloom and Depp for the ladies, big action and Knightley for the men, self-aware gags for the postmodern crowd, Depp and Rush for fans of top-rank scenery chewing.
