Pirates of the Carribean 2

(1/12) > >>

Legato:
I've seen it twice now since I work at a theater, and I loved it.  Has anybody else seen it?  I don't know when the international release dates are, but it's out in the United States already.  Please, don't spoil then ending without a **SPOILER** warning posted above.  Highlight my spoilers to read them.


**ENDING SPOILER**


Wasn't Barbossa supposed to be dead?  I suppose if those two pirates (the one with the shifty eye is the coolest) are alive, he can be too, but I swear he was killed in POTC1.


**END OF SPOILER**

I thought it was an excellent movie, and I can't wait for the third one.  Yes, there will be a third, and it is already halfway finished.

Inlander:
Dude the background colour for the forum is grey.  You can still read the black text.

As a response to the question, though: in the first film we saw Barbarossa being shot, and a lot of blood coming out of him, but did we actually ever see him definitely without a doubt dead?  I don't believe so.  Plus, it's a Hollywood franchise with horrible sea-creatures and undead sailors and Orlando Bloom being a romantic lead.  Realism is not a high priority here.

KharBevNor:
It was a romp. Plot made little sense, but I'd have been kind of offended if it did. Any movie that has Jack Davenport, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom (two of my favourite actors and a random pretty-boy) engaged in an insane slapstick swordfight in a waterwheel rolling through the middle of the jungle gets my vote.

Actually, speaking of Bloom, I think his acting's getting a little better. I still keep wanting him to jump on a horse and whip out pointy ears and a longbow though.

Inlander:
Actually, I haven't seen the new film yet.  But as for the original (and, by most accounts, the sequel), it's Hollywood doing what Hollywood was always meant to be about: making high-quality mass-entertainment that will allow people to have a good time for a couple of hours.

They should do it more often.

Ozymandias:
Damn straight.

I can understand why people were disappointed. It was long. And the plot didn't really need to be that long. But each scene was so fun to sit back, stuff gummi worms in your mouth and just WATCH, it doesn't matter. It was brilliant fun.

I'm more than willing to pay to see it again, let alone see the third one.
