Pirates of the Caribbean: Four-Movie Collection (Blu-ray + Digital Copy)

This is honestly quite the collection, not only does it include all 4 of the (current) Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but also working iTunes Digital Copy codes for mobile device use. For the price of admission you are getting a set of decent Blu-ray transfers of the original Pirates films, admittedly the quality of the Blu-ray experience increases as you go up in movies while the quality of the movies themselves (acting/plot) fall but you can easily find a happy medium in the process. Now the presentation of the collection is where I was actually taken by surprise. This isn't one of those cheap 'lets make a box out of paper and make it look like something it isn't' Blu-ray collections that we've all see and probably own. The Chest of Davy Jones in which this collection is stored is a hard impact plastic box with a rather impressive level of detail, a respectable interior lining, and magnetic clasps to keep the entire closed when not in use. The disk's themselves come in an accordion file cardboard holder shaped like a piece of Aztec Gold (see the first Pirates movie.) which is respectably constructed, however, like many I don't feel that this design will provide ideal protection for the discs over the long haul as there is considerable movement inside the individual slots. Closing this out there is a rolled map circa Pirates 3 which is a small scale, non-moving, reproduction of that which you see in the film...this is actually just set inside the box with the disc holder and to me feels like the lowest quality part of the entire package. It truly feels like an afterthought added in for perceived value. To those who know this series, you are getting 1080p editions with an impressive audio uptick from the normal DVD previously released. All movies are respectably done and have deep and rich blacks by default and bright colors without that odd over saturation that many Blu-ray collections tend to have. To those who don't know the series, the movies themselves are worthy of watching. Though perhaps billed a little bit towards family and younger children at times, I personally feel there are many nuances of the movies that are obviously directed to adults and more mature humor. It is most certainly worthy of a purchase if you have kids or not. I can't say much more about them without having spoilers, which I won't do, but I doubt you will be disappointed at all in any but perhaps the 4th movie which does indeed feel like a last ditch effort by Disney to cash in one more time on the popularity for the series.

Excellent

The complete Pirates of the Caribbean on Blu-Ray. Plays on any blu-ray player, all regions, ABC. A wonderful box, for all ages. Comes with an exclusive Blu-Ray bonus disc! Very affordable, all around nice set. Starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly, and many others throughout all 4 of the films. Many laughs, much action. Very nice bonus content for a UK import, may not have as much as owning the American versions, but just enough, see the back cover for specifications, enjoy!

I got this as a gift for my wife. It was a good deal to get all 4 movies on Blu-ray for around $20. Haven't watched the last one yet, but was fun to reminisce watching the first three. Great for a movie night and you know it's not on Netflix or Prime, so you're not paying for something you could have watched for free.

13 yr old daughter's favorite movies since Harry Potter! Was Jack Sparrow, of sorts, for Halloween. Taught herself the theme song on cello, watches the movies over and over. 7 yr old son and parents love it, too. Son was a little scared in first one, but got over it and loved the movies! LOVE Johnny Depp! He really makes these movies! What fun he must've had!

I love the series, and my brother wanted to start watching all of the movies to catch up so he can go see the 5th movie in theaters. So I happily got this 4 pack. The movies are great and are all in HD but 3 things kind of bugged me about it. In the first box (Curse of the Black Pearl) the Blu-Ray disk says "disk 1" but doesn't have a second disk. It does say it is a blu ray, and works with my player. but there was no slot for a second disk, and seems rather weird that it doesn't come with a second disk or say what the second disk would be. The second thing is more of a personal belief, but the disks from the 2nd and 3rd movie are just blue and say the name of the movie, unlike the 1st and 4th, its not appealing as someone who likes to sometimes open a disk and see the cool designs on the actual disk (best way to put it is that it doesn't look like the disks if you looked at the multi-format version). The 3rd thing is that the 4th movie's box not only came with a broken latch but the two disks in the box fell out when I opened the Box. While the broken box is no huge deal I can get a new box for it and move the sleeve, but the disks flying out is a way to get a scratched disk which is a huge no no. In otherwords, be aware that the movies are wonderful, the pack is what i would expect for the price and its a good pickup for those younger siblings/children who you want to watch a "kids" movie with and still have the adult humor that they wont understand.

I won't get overly technical, as many reviews already have. I will simply say for the money, and what is included, this was a great deal. While the "coin" holding the Blue Rays is indeed simply made of cardboard, I have to ask how many times you plan on taking the discs in and out of it, as it would need to be a lot for the disc to be affected by it. If I was purchasing these for children (who tend to watch movies over and over), I might consider storing the actual discs in something else, as I imagine this sleeve contraption would be a mess in no time. I find storing the kids movies in a CD or DVD Storage wallet the best route, as the good ones tend have soft material, and are easily usable by children. I also think the chest is a nice ornament to have on the shelf, and it makes for a fun reply when someone asks you what it is.

So this is one of my favorite movie series, and I really love having this set. Perhaps my favorite part is having the digital copies for my iPad, etc., so I can take them with me whenever I want. But I did end up removing the discs from the treasure chest to store them elsewhere...no big deal. Overall, a fun and worthwhile purchase!

Esta muy bien presentado, las cuatro partes están en su respectiva caja como si las compraras individuales, pero esta en una caja todas juntas es muy recomendable me han gustado mucho

.

This box set is a convenient, entertaining collection that includes the first four films in the franchise and offers solid value for fans who want the Captain Jack Sparrow adventures. The fourth film marks a clear turning point in cast and storytelling. Where the first three films built a tight saga around Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann and a handful of recurring allies and foe, the fourth film changes the cast and injects too many new faces, resulting in a different feel to the film. Only Sparrow, Barbossa & Gibbs are cast, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom do not appear at all, this makes the continuity much weaker. Overall, well worth watching the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.

Love these movies, but it's weird that my DVD player can't read them

Gran opcion para tener todas las peliculas en formato blu Ray y además en un pack de coleccion muy detallado, vale la pena totalmente
