Due to so many varied reviews on Amazon about the individual DVD's in the series,I will limit my comments just to say that this box set represents superb family entertainment whatever your age and is possibly one of the best value box sets around.
As family viewing goes,it will keep the kids quiet for hours but the individual films are lengthy so spread your viewing over a couple of weekends to prevent over doing it.The movies themselves are great fun and with so many gruesome characters, make sure the more nervous ones in your family who are old enough to watch have someone to snuggle up to,just in case. In fact,in some of the scenes,I could have done with snuggling up to someone myself!
This is great entertainment and if you have ... Read More:

This is an amazing film, top notch i have seen all of the trilogy and this film is possibly the best, ignore any one who has rated this 1 star and has said they have only watched 30min of it, the film goes on for awhile but that makes it all the better in my opinion, the cast is amazing as always with even more new characters, the effects are quality and has a great story, i strongly recomend this to any one who loves the other two films and has not watched this film yet, and to any film lover, because i think any one can enjoy this, but would be an easier watch if the first two films were watched first, but this is one of the best trilogy's ever made, if not the best.

This is no ordinary DVD. This DVD ran me through a world of emotions and some of the things in it are simply mind blowingly realistic. Scrubs doesnt feel like a TV show the brilliant actors make it seem as if your actually there. Buy this DVD otherwise you will be missing out!!

I'll probably be lynched for this heresy!... but I wouldn't recommend this one unless you're a diehard fan of one of the actors, or just a special effects geek.
This film wanders around, without much of a plot, relying far too heavily on humour [!??] and special effects. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but want to, but it destroys relationships, with characters betraying one another instead of standing together.
Not a 'Feel Good' film, and not a PATCH on Pirates I, Curse of the Black Pearl.

Swashbuckling pirates, cursed baddies, sea battles, sword fighting, danger and a good deal of rum - WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?!? Johnny Depp's FAB! With a great array of back-stage animators creating the 'cursed' affect, Pirates of the Caribbean is your perfect family film! Plus, it's absolutely hilarious!
Some say this is the best, but I'll leave that to you to decide. But there is one thing I DO know - and that is that after you've watched POTC 1, there's no stopping you until you've seen all three!!!

The mouse is the hero of this stunning comedy....."Nostrodamus never seen this mouse coming"....is just one of the brilliant one liners in this movie.If your looking for a family movie for adults and kids alike then this is the one.

If you are a fan of the Pirates series, this is a must-have. The movie is good fun, carried almost entirely on the shoulders of Johnny Depp, but the small amount of character development you see with Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook (the oh so eloquent pirate) is a welcome development.
The picture quality is outstanding, and this one really shows why you should upgrade to HD at this point in time.

If taking a rather dull Japanese classic and changing certain aspects, such as removing all the boredom, and replacing it with some bloody character development, then using the increased budget to improving things like the videotape instead of rubbish special effects (don't worry, I'll get onto Ring Two in a minute), and yet staying so true to the original is somehow boring, then call me John Smith in Grey. beige, beige, beige. I'm eating celery cooked in peas as we speak. Actually, it's not cooked since that activity is too entertaining for my tiny little mind.
The Ring is not at all boring. I was completely caught off guard, as I was not expecting a psychological chiller when I entered the cinema, and the trailer had been very vague. Even my git of a friend's ruining ... Read More:
