PIRATES!!! (3!)

<< < (6/9) > >>

Postino:
1. Okay here is the down low on the ending of Pirates, and they really should have included this because it was so damn important. The curse goes if you serve 10 years on the FD and at the end of it your lover is still faithful then you two are free to be together and the FD gets another captain. This explains why Jones was so pissed off when Calipso didn't show up at the end of his ten years.

2. Keira Knightley's character was indeed a little cheesy but I still found her sexy/entertaining. Orlando Bloom's character became a lot more weepy and shallow however, which is sad for Orlando because he was pretty good in the first one, and they just kept giving his character worse and worse lines.

3. While Depp was still amazing in this film and very funny, I personally think that Rush stole the show. Someone mentioned the Indy to Pirates comparison and I think that what happened her was what happened in the third Indy movie. Simply put Geoffery Rush much like Sean Connery stole the show. I don't know about you but I found myself much more entertained by Barbossa this time around than I did by Sparrow.

I liked the movie, it was a lot better then I thought it would be, although I've got to agree with what MooFace said in the Last Post thread about it being set-up for a 4th movie, which I think we can all agree is not necessarry. I think it should have had a -good-, all-questions answered ending. That would have been great.
(Although, if they DO decide to do another movie, the Fountain of Youth is going to be awesome...)

wraithzero:
Saw it, loved it.

The Calypso bit was a little cheesy, but it gave rise to this browser title joke on http://www.errantstory.com/, so I forgive it for that reason alone.

I'm less convinced that they cut the explanation of the curse for time than to leave their options open if/when they make another film.  With it ambiguous, they can make up a story about freeing him from the curse, or just cut him out of the story entirely and give Depp more screen-time.

PS. Was I the only person thinking of the ever-popular swinging-pirate ship theme park ride when they were leaving the locker?

Dimmukane:
No, no you weren't.  It made me want to go on one again.

CmonMiracle:
I just want to make sure I am not crazy, but at a certain moment, the screen faded to black and I swore they played the sound effects from the actual ride! It might have been right as they entered the iceberg...I don't remember.
