Pirates black pearl is one of the best modern blockbuster films, full of wit, clever set pieces and a sharp script.

Sadly it has fallen victim to its own success by spawning 2 terrible follow up films that by the end of it will make you forget how good the original was.

I strongly advise getting the spec. edition of Black pearl and forgetting that dead mans chest and at worlds end were ever made.

The first two Pirates of the Caribbean films are amazing and should be watched by everyone. They follow the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), who has to be one of the funniest and most loveable character of modern film. With him are Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), with all three main actors putting in great performances.

The special effects on the films are breathtaking and the stunts are done to such a high level that the film is gorgeous to watch and entertaining for every minute.

The downside of this boxset in particular is that the films are a trilogy, so any fans of the series so far would be better off waiting a bit longer until they releases all of them in a boxset.

But overall the films are amazing and some of the best you can see in recent years.

A great couple of films. These films show that Hollywood is not dead and films can still be made with the same glamour as they did in the golden age. Unfortunately this is not the trilogy so it would be better to wait for that to be released. But if you can't wait this is what you need.
