Pirates 3: At World's End - Page 10

Well, I really enjoyed it. It was piratey, arrrrr.

I was really disappointed by the post-credit scene. I could've predicted that ending. I was hoping for some hot undead monkey action.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. An amusing diversion. I really liked Jonathan Pryce's rowboat scene...

omg, I sobbed during that scene.
They killed the character that I go see the movies for, and didnt tell me how, why, or WHO?!?!?!?!?!
But yes it was a testament to Pryce.

Norringtons last scene got me too.

And Chernabog..(I think thats who said it) Your spoiler comments? I think you and I need to chat. I have some of the same issues you do, but I think I can answer one of them.

The map was hilarious.

I also loved some of the T-Shirts in the ad on that page. This one in particular:

Not sure if we're still tagging spoilers, so

It was just OK for me. Found myself bored during a lot of it, but was never really confused at all the different plot lines.

But as I think about it, I keep dwelling on the parts I didn't like, so perhaps those hold more weight with me.

Jack's hallucinations....funny, I suppose, for the first minute, but it went on and on and on and on....got old really fast.

The proposal and wedding during the battle. Stupid.

Just left me with an "eh" feeling. I'm not usually picky about movies....I liked Dead Man's Chest.

Overall, I liked it. It was very long, and could maybe have been trimmed.

Jack's hallucinations; went on maybe too long. The crab thing.... ? Cut it. I like Tia Dalma, so I hesitate to say cut her storyline. I do wish that had been done better, maybe.

I loved the wedding. I loved Barbossa's opening for it! I loved that Liz was once in a while useful, holding her own in battle. Of course there were still the "maiden in distress" moments but bleh.

I hear the critics hate this, but I rarely agree with their assessments anyway.

I loved Barbossa's dialogue before they dropped! That whole sequence was my personal highlight in what was otherwise a very meh movie. And I totally agree with Scaeagles about the wedding. I thought it slowed the pacing and detracted from the battle between Jack and Davy Jones, which was far more exciting. As for the post credit scene? So throwaway. I was really hoping they would have made some attempt to resolve the plot with Davy Jones and Tia Dalma, which was the only relationship in the movie I even remotely cared about.

My husband took the shortcut and had a nap about midway through. He didn't miss anything.
