Get It Off Your (Dead Man's) Chest: Pirates Movie Reviews

[€uroMeinke]

I found myself entertained by the film, since all I really wanted was some swashbuckling pirates, and I got that - but come the ending, I had to let out a groan and the Matrix imediately came to mind.

I find I missed the witty dialogue of the first film, Jack and Barbossa where absolutely charming in calling "Parley" or "refusing to aquiesce.." etc. and this film had none of that. I was also dissappointed in the derivative comedy used in some of the scenes - the whole "what is the key for" scene was just Monty Python "witch" scene, down to the delivery of lines. That just made the film less clever for me and the first was oh so very clever.

Bootstrap Bill, was a bit of a dissappointment for me - for those reading it, he was like Charles in Madam Bovary. So he stood up to a bunch of mutineying pirates? Eh, now he's just some post-fire-in-the-belly father-son resolution full of regrets for not playing catch together more often. Perhaps in part three they'll beat drums together and hug - bleh. I only hope they use Kieth Richards in a better way.

Predictions for part three - 1) Bootstrp Bill & Kieth Richards will save the day, casue that's what dads do 2) there where be a comedic scene in which Davy Jone's heart will be tossed about only to be caught by the dog like a frisbee.
