Good times. Could have been trimmed by about half an hour though. Think part 2 is still my favorite.

I have one major gripe with this movie, and as far as gripes go, it's still not all that major.
Yarrr, tharr be spoilers ahead. Okay, how come everyone seemed to know in THIS movie that Davy Jones needed a replacement? That whoever killed him would have to take his place as captain of the Flying Dutchman? Don't you think Bootstrap Bill might've mentioned that to William before letting him leave, or that any of the like 5 other characters who point this out might've said something at some point during one of the several scenes in which his heart is made an issue? I loved the fucking movie, don't get me wrong. While it could have used with a couple of scenes being deleted, I never actually felt the movie dragged. But that one point, it just strikes me as RELALY bad storytelling. This is pretty CRUCIAL to the third movie, and since the second one establishes the third one, it would have been a good idea. Since I already put up a spoiler warning, I'm liking the way they ended the movie, and the scene afterwards. If they end the series here, this is a good way to do it. |

Got back from this a little while ago. Here's my thoughts. Spolilers will probably be mixed in. You've been warned.
It probably could have gotten chopped down about a good 30 minutes or so. I mean, cut down on the fucking tea drinking scenes or something. Subtitles would have been great cause I could make out a damn thing Tia Dalma was saying. I only caught a few words total. Lost mad interest in the movie when Chow Yun-Fat got killed off. He looked like a fucking prime player and I was hoping for some Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon swordfighting from him. ![]() Yeah, pretty much knew that with all the bullshit about the Dutchman, heart, captain being brought up left and right, the end was pretty clear. The only humor I found in the movie was the stuff the monkey and parrot were doing. Nothing else got me laughing. Keith Richards better give that jacket back to Captain Hook. That was I thought when I first saw him. I wish they took the time to give some background on the rest of the Pirate Lords. Would have been interesting to know where they roam and what their claim to fame was. Yeah I guess you can close the book on Will Turner and Liz Shaw. Unless something comes up. All in all. Alright movie. Put it behind Curse of the Black Pearl, but ahead of Dead Man's Chest. Yes it leaves an opening to go to find the Fountain of Youth. Only time will tell. |

I'm suprised everyone who has cared to post here enjoyed it. Everyone I've talked to and any review I've read has panned it. In the theater me and the people I was with were laughing hysterically at the end battle and that bruckheimer trash of the captain walking unphased through an explosion in slow mo. Nobody told us to shut up, in fact the strangers that hadn't gotten up and left in the rows around us starting laughing. I kid you not, It was pretty funny actually. That's just me and one theater's opinions though.

Well, when I watched the scene after the credits, which was ten years later, the six people left laughed at how Elizabeth hasn't aged.

I don't doubt you, but I assure you the theater I was at was disgruntled. I saw it Memorial Day afternoon though. I'm sure the reaction was different with a packed house of fans/fanboys at an opening day or midnight showing, which I'm assuming you went to? I don't mean that as a pot shot, I go to fanboy showings all the time. It's just a different crowd than your casual monday afternooners.

it's definitely got mixed reactions. I can only speak for myself and some friends when I say I hated it. I do still love the first and somewhat the second though. Critics pan it, but they can suck dick as in any case. After all, Empire Strikes Back got bad reviews from them...

It was alright. Not as good as Pirates 2. I thought it got bogged down in exposition quite a bit.
Loved the Keith Richards cameo. I thought it was just gonna be some jokey little thing, but he was badass. If there are more sequels, I hope he comes back. |

I work at a movie theater and I hear what everyone thinks about movies, and most people seem to be disappointed about this one.
Also, I get seriously pissed off about 50 people waiting to see the stupid fucking end credits scene. Next week, though, I can start lying and telling them there's nothing at the end. |

The lack of an epic sword fight make me very unhappy. More of the same from this sequal, which isn't a negitive. Only this time it felt forced. I was dissapointed in this one, and while I will say it was the worst of the series I would like to add that it aint easy being on par with the standerd the origional left. Decent waste of three hours hours and MUCH better than the other summer block busters so far. (Unless you count 28 weeks as a blockbuster [and I dont.])
