PIRATES!!! (3!)

KharBevNor:
(spoilers or summat)




The whole Gullivers Travels bit with Calypso pissed the hell out of me. Mainly because the footage around that scene just kept going TV quality for absolutely no reason. (Oh, and the continuity errors. Like the way SHE WASN'T TIED TO THE MAST AT THE START OF THE SCENE. Also the fact that it was just all ridiculous).

Also, the final fight in the whirlpool, though shitting awesome, completely jumped the shark when Jack Sparrow made that parachute to escape the Flying Dutchman.

Best scenes:

1: Whole whirlpool fight before that bit. That was basically what I came to the cinema to see.
2: East India company raiding Chow Yun Fat's bathouse. MUSKETS! KARATE! SWORDS! YES!
3: Lord Cutler Beckett walking serenely down the steps of his ship as the Black Pearl and the Dutchman broadsided it mercilessly and insanely from both sides. That was just kick-ass.
4: The opening. Much kudos for having the little kid actually hang.

To be fair, the only scenes that got on my goat, apart from the attack of the 50 foot sea-goddess, were any scenes where Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom were allowed to be on the screen alone together where Keira Knightleys legs were not in full view. Thankfully few and far between.

Basically just good clean fucking fun. Anyone else stay past the credits?

Dimmukane:
I had to piss REAL bad at the end.  Kicked a bucket of popcorn over on my way down the aisle.  Stood over a urinal for two minutes, then immediately dashed back over to the theatre because it's become normal to have a little hidden bit at the end of the movie. 

Was anyone else surprised by Keith Richards' part?  I thought he was going to be...well, Jack Sparrow's dad, not the guy whose wife's head is as big as his fist and hanging on a string.

TrueNeutral:
You know, this movie was so cookie cutter clean, I take the common criticism that it was hard to follow as proof that our ancestors are weeping in the afterlife because their offspring has degenerated into morons.

CmonMiracle:
It was okay. I mean, I couldn't understand half the movie because of the accents but...

AHHH the third part of a trilogy.... where to start where to start

first and foremost, i am aware that this movie, like Indiana Jones before it, is trying to thrill people with action and things like that.  also like indy, it wouldn't work without our favorite, beautifully flawed characters.  Rush was brilliant, Depp was brilliant, and as a result their characters were more fun.

UNLIKE indy, there was a serious link between the movies, and (despite leaving it open for a fouth sequel) it wrapped up nicely.  in trilogies, i feel the importance of this CANNOT be understated.  it was a nice tie to several loose ends

What i liked:
Will and Lizzy dont get to live happily ever after
Jack and his dopplegangers
Keith Ritchards on Guitar
Not an overuse of special effects

What i disliked
Calipso

ill think of more to rant about later
