Just got back from the 11:30 show.
Impressions- Underwhelmed. It's as if the writers have never heard of tension, or pacing. It's like history, just one bloody thing after another. |

"300" "28 Weeks Later" "Apocalypto" main 3 movies ive enjoyed recently.. have not seen Pirates yet, but I dont have high hopes, just like the first and second it will have the "Disney" kiddy feel to the movie, I will probably enjoy it, but not near as much as i did to these movies. |

I am forced to go to the theaters this weekend to see it.
My wife can't get enough of Orlando Bloom (or Johnny Depp). In fact, I do believe the last time I was dragged to a theater was to watch the second installment of this series. |

Didn't get to see 300 or 28 Weeks Later just yet, but I refused to see Apocalypto. I haven't really found a movie out yet that I'm just dying to see. |

| I'm going to a pirate themed party (rum only) then we're going to try to get in and see it. We're not counting on making it in (big lines, etc) then going back and pirating it up more. |

But at least the sequels aren't as disappointing as the matrix sequels. Then again, that's probably because The Matrix was better than POTC 1. |

I just bought Apocalypto and watched it yesterday-awesome movie. Kind of crosses up the usual lone wolf hero/Rambo movies with the ancient history setting. Very cool, IMO. -------------

Absolutely terrible movie. It was just a bunch of cheesy jokes, corny lines, and a poor plot line. I wish they stopped with the first one, that was by far the best.

Agree completely. The whole PotC series would suck if Johnny Depp wasn't the main character. His acting as Captain Jack Sparrow is some of the best I've seen. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules>

Wife and I saw it tonight... About 45 mins too long, but definitely better than 2. Johnny Depp was made to play Jack Sparrow... Perhaps the only thing that keeps me coming back is seeing Kiera Knightly on screen for a couple of hours... Yummy... -------------

Saw it tonight. Just a couple of thoughts...
Seeing Kiera Knightley as the "King of Pirates" or whatever was really lamed. She looks nothing like a pirate nor plays the part well. The whole getting married while fighting scene= terrible and maybe the most overdramaticized moment in all of film. Awful. The final battle had potential out the roof. What's cooler than seeing a pirate coalition going head-to-head with the English Armada. What do we get instead? The Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman floating around in circles getting nothing accomplished. Lastly... WAY TO DAMN LONG! Jesus, they could've condensed just about everything in the movie. Just for that I give it 7/10. Overall though, I would say 5.5/10. Had SO much potential coming off of the terrible 2nd one, but failed to capitalize. Johnny Depp was still amazing. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules>

| Did anyone stay after the credits? I did because my friends told me there was a clip at the very end. It is at the very very end of the credits so you have to sit there for a long time. I was the only one left in the theater and the clean up crew had come in and turned on the lights. Luckily they turned them off so we could watch it more clearly. |

Just saw Pirates tonight at the drive-in along with Wild Hogs. I was far more impressed with Wild Hogs, which was far funnier than I'd have thought.
Pirates was a mess. One of my favorite parts was the midget firing the very large gun and getting blasted back. Also, Keira Knightley with her leg up offering the boot. Seemed to me Keira likes it on top. And he'll get to see her, like... five more times. -------------

I liked it overall. True it was really long, but the action was great, and the effects were seamless. A lot of the jokes were lame, but there were some good ones too. About the end: *SPOILER* The writers said that since Will and Liz remained faithful for the 10 years, then the curse is lifted and they can both live normal lives again. So it adds a bit of closure, but I don't remember hearing anything about that in the movie. |
