I want to see it
On a big screen With dialogue drowning sound But I will pee first |
The reviews in both Entertainment Weekly & People Magazine were far from kind. However, I tend to enjoy all of the movies that critics don't so a trip to the cinema may be in order tonight! :)
Do you know the last time I was in a movie theater was last summer, when my boyfriend & I went to see the second Pirates movie? Apparently, we're not big cinema folk. :( |
I actually feel much the same way Alex did about the 3rd Pirates flick. While there is some unnecessary baggage from the second film (IMO), a good job was done, overall, in that they mostly went back to their roles, it was good storytelling, and while there were many plotlines, they essentially went into the conclusion, which I cannot say for the second film.
As dry as that sounded, I really did like the 3rd. I left satisfied, which I cannot say for the 2nd Pirates. (I left that movie exhausted and irritated) |
Just came back from Pirates 3.
We really, really did not like it. So much unnecessary dialogue - so much mind-numbing violence. Zero sense of adventure. I didn't care about any of the characters. I think I would have preferred it if they finished the story begun in 2 in some other medium - a comic book perhaps - and then carried on with what will probably be the 4th (if the tease near the end of this one is the plan), a quest for the Fountain of Youth. Two serious thumbs-down from the mousepod family (and we really liked part 2). |
Maybe they'll have Christopher Lloyd show up as Ponce De Leon?

Just came back from seeing it at El Cap. Really enjoyed it. Way, WAY beter that part 2 - Part 2 doesn't exist! It would have been better as a "Star Wars" screen crawl. 3 is in no way perfect but it is a better written/ crafted script IMHO in the sense you're not forced to believe everything. Unlike #2 which pushed you thru the film, this one brings you along and lets you experiance. I really notice the soundtrack this time and it was really well placed. I think the characters were more equal RE: screen time and it just wasn't all "Jack."
I'd venture to give it 8 bornieo's out of 10. I'd see this again before watching the second anyday, which, BTW, I haven't seen since seeing it at EL Cap last year. |
Well I just got back and I enjoyed it overall. Yes, it was about an hour too long. Yes, there were plotlines that were set up and ultimately went nowhere.

But despite that, I wasn't bored, except at a few chatty moments, and anything having to do with Will Turner and his daddy. |

We saw it last night.
I truly recommend the last hour of the film. If you can force yourself to sit through two hours of excrutiating hell, the last hour will be an enjoyable pay-off for you. In fact, just show up two hours late to the cinema to avoid most of the messy & convoluted storyline that is Pirates 3. :( I agree that an hour could have easily been trimmed! How so? Spoiler:
I was so disappointed. Mainly because it's way easy to entertain me & this failed in doing so. It was a dark movie, both figuratively & literally. At one point, I completely dozed off, only to have a humiliating muscle sleep spasm occur in my right leg, sending it kicking in the air & startling my boyfriend. At least that got my adrenaline goin' and kept me awake for the remainder of the film. Good golly, though, that film would just NOT END. My favorite scene in the movie? Spoiler:
Okay, it's early Sunday morning & I'm not making much sense. I just was so saddened by this film & like mousepod I enjoyed the second Pirates! Now I have to brace myself for Transformers, which, after seeing the trailer, my boyfriend declared looked like the coolest movie ever & we are so going to see it! Yay. :( ;) :D |
