Topic: Pirates of the Caribbean

[PIAC]

OH MY GOD! this movie was fking AWSOME! its shot strait up to being one of my favorite movies of all time.  Johnny Depp was absolutely stunning as Captain Jack Sparrow, Geoffery Rush was brilliant as the Ghost Pirate LeChuck... i mean Barberosa. being such a huge Monkey Island (tm) fan that i am it made the movie all the more special, there were that many subtle Monkey Island references i was laughing and saying stuff to dad almost the entire time, its brilliant. i HIGHLY recomend everyone go see it, i know ill be getting the DVD as soon as its out

i give it nine thumbs up!

[KnowsNothing]

*ahem*  

The movie was awesome! But since It got a little boring in the middle (or end?), I'd have to give it 8 thumbs up.

Yup, Disney had the best two movies of the summer (no, I'm not a 12 year old): Finding Nemo and Pirates.  Two great movies.

[Hostile Creation]

Both of those were very good. . . so was Bad Boys 2, if you want to see a violent action flick.  I may see a movie this weekend or next, and while I think it may be Underworld, I don't think that Underworld will be a very good movie.  But who knows, they seemed to have put a lot of work into it.

[Molobert]

The best part of this movie was Keira Knightley.

[Berny]

I loved this movie too. So did all of my friends and my English teacher. My dad had the local classical radio station playing yesterday and I swear they were playing its soundtrack. Which is also AWESOME!  

[PIAC]

i thought it was natalie portman, the likeness is freaky, clone wars indeed.

boring? NEVAH! i was watching with rapt attention the entire time, pirates are awsome, i need an evil demonic uberskull for my desk now.. ohwell

[Termin8Anakin]

Kiera Knightley and Natalie POrtman share my bed. They are both the angels of the universe. MY universe
When my site comes back up, don't be surprised to see a Kiera Knightley page. Not that there's any pics on Google images search to get anyways.
Just a 'Love Kiera' page

[Shift Key]

Man, I saw it last weekend and now I have the urge to see it again, probably because of Keira.
I'm only human ya know.

PIAC: This'll be one I definitely get on DVD.
*waits for release*

[ThePerm]

aye!!! horizontal action be the way with me with the knightliest women and the girl who hangs at the ports!!!

I enjoyed the sequel, I don't care what the critics say.

[Ceric]

The Sequel would have been good if they would have tied it all up at the end instead of making it into another movie.  For that fact it is incredibly boring by the time you get to the end.  Because of how the moved decided to just drag on and on I could care less want happens to Jack Sparrow.  In fact I hope he's eaten and digested slowly.

It's like Wind Waker to me.  I love the game if it wasn't for the stupid ocean.
I love this movie if it wasn't for the stupid need to expand into two instead of doing a separate story in the third one, which I know won't see because I could care less.

While I'm griping on Movies I don't like the direction the New Transformers movie is going.

[Ian Sane]

I found I enjoyed the sequel as I was watching it but couldn't say at all what I liked about it afterwards.  I have no interest in seeing it again.  But I did enjoy it as I was watching it so I guess that's worth the ticket price.  I'll see the third one for that same reason.

I've noticed that with a lot of big blockbuster films lately.  It seems like they just plan a bunch of cool scenes and then make up some thin story to connect those scenes together.  So you enjoy it while it's there but there's nothing to think about afterwards.

And I'll agree that the Transformers movie looks stupid as f*ck.  The sad thing is the trailer with the Mars lander and the "what's that?" taking it out sets up a cool Martian invasion style film.  It's wasted on such a turd like this.  I don't know why whenever a licence is obtained for a movie they always change things around.  If the source material was popular as it was why not just stay close to the source material?  They always make all sorts of unwelcome changes and in the end nobody likes the resulting product.  Sometimes it's minor or the change is to help with pacing but when they completely overhaul everything it pretty much never results in anything decent.

[Nick DiMola]

All I have to say is Pirates of the Carribean 2 == Matrix Reloaded. They both really had no point in the end and were just filler until the 3rd. But I agree that it was at least worth the ticket price because I did enjoy both the first time through.

[KnowsNothing]

I feel the same way; I had fun watching it, but in hindsight it kinda sucked.

I take back what  I said about the first one THREE YEARS AGO.  It deserves TWELVE thumbs-up for being the best movie ever.  I've watched it about a gazillion times.

[Ian Sane]

"All I have to say is Pirates of the Carribean 2 == Matrix Reloaded. They both really had no point in the end and were just filler until the 3rd. But I agree that it was at least worth the ticket price because I did enjoy both the first time through."

F*ck, you just nailed it perfectly on that one.

[ThePerm]

i thought the same thing as soon as I watched it, i was like " this is just like the matrix reloaded...it would have been an incredibly better movie had they tied it up at the ending. I suppose its hard to make a good trilogy. For instance, at the end of each back to the future everything seems resoved and then like some thing gets screwed up just at the end. That way you fee like the movies are resolved but have a nice opening for the sequal

[IceCold]

Well. X-Men 2 is my favourite superhero movie ever.

[wandering]

Compating the Matrix Reloaded to Pirate's of the Carribean 2 is like comparing lemonheads to altoids. Sure, neither of them are cake, but one is clearly better than the other.

[Svevan]

Forgive me for not knowing which candy is superior.

[wandering]

Altoids! Lemonheads are awful. As is Matrix Reloaded - it's dialog is as artificial as lemonhead's flavorings.

[Artimus]

At least matrix reloaded had a plot that amounted to more than trying to get people to buy tickets for what is a totally pointless and useless movie.

[wandering]

...No I'm pretty sure that's Matrix Reloaded's plot in a nutshell.

Wachowski brother one: Okay, so Neo's pretty much conquered the Matrix, defeated agent smith, gained immense super powers, and has said he's going to start waking other people up in the real world. What's next?

Wachowski brother 2: Neo: uh.....um.....fighting 100 agent smiths for no real reason?

Brother one: Great! But first, let's have long, boring, pseudo-intellectual discussions about....you know...the nature of man, and stuff.

Brother two: Whoa. Either that is the greatest idea ever, or we've been watching too much anime.

Brother one: The former. Definetly. Oh, and I think our first film was too, you know, visually interesting. It made Keanu Reeve's acting look too bad by comparison.

Brother two: I'm way ahead of you. I've been watching some porn lately, and I've noticed they just love to flood everything with light so you can see every detail. It may not be "artisitic", but we could use the same technique to highlight our special effects!

Brother one: You mean the special effects that are so mind-blowingly incredible, no one else will even begin to be able to copy them with the next 20 years?

Brother two: Yes, those.

Brother one: haha, this film is going to be so bad.

Brother two: hahaha, yeah I know. "The keymaster" hahaha that's some deep sh!t right there.

Brother one: Concordantly, I think "the architect" would agree with you. But seriously though, let's retire to Hawaii after this, okay?

Brother two: Why, you don't think you'll be able to fool people a third time?

[Arbok]

Wandering is my new hero after that...

Anyway, it goes without saying, Pirates of the Caribbean is an excellent and incredibly fun film. It also goes without saying that X2 is beyond awesome, as IceCold brought it up. Both of those movies were two of my favorite US productions since the turn of the century.

[TrueNerd]

Pirates 2 sucked ass. Completely worthless. Who the F*CK liked the first one because of the story? I liked it because it made me laugh, usually at something different with every viewing. It was also very fun. Now, let's name the two things Pirates 2 failed horribly at. That's right, it was neither fun or funny! All of the good, clever dialogue was replaced with Johnny Depp falling down a lot and recycling jokes from the first movie which is the opposite of funny and every other random scene dragged on and on. That would be the opposite of fun.

This would have been okay if the story was at least somewhat interesting. It wasn't. The "cliffhanger ending" is not suspenseful at all. You KNOW Johnny Depp will be in the third one, and therefore don't care that an octopus ate him. Han Solo being frozen in carbonite, this is not. The love triangle was the worst of the suicide inducing ideas this film introduced. Thanks, I've watched Friends before. And WHY OH WHY was this movie two and a half hours long? Motherf*cking Goodfellas is two and a half hours long. I hope that editor dies, right along with this series. Pirates 2 was nothing but a cash-in. And it worked, unfortunately. Too bad Spider-Man's opening weekend record had to fall to a movie that manages to fail on almost every level. I would say it is the worst movie of the year so far, but ya know, Ultraviolet.

I want to say I won't ever see the third one, but I'm sure when it comes out that friends of mine will want to and I'll go along with it. But I won't be pleased.
