Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

[CrazyAce86]

Similar the Spiderman 3 thread. I'm going to post what we know so far about it (copied from Wikipedia), but that doesn't count as spoilers, I think. Even so, I thought I'd give you a heads-up.

Trailer

http://www.myspace.com/atworldsend (Scroll down a bit and you'll see it.)

What We Know So Far...

At the conclusion of Dead Man's Chest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_of_the_Caribbean:_Dead_Man%27s_Chest), Will Turner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Turner), Elizabeth Swann (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Swann), and company find refuge with Tia Dalma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tia_Dalma), who offers them the opportunity to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Jack_Sparrow) from Davy Jones' Locker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Jones%27_Locker). She says they will need a captain, "who knows those waters," prompting the reappearance of Captain Barbossa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Barbossa), killed by Jack Sparrow in the first film and who has been resurrected.

...

In the third film, the crew travel to Singapore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore) to steal a navigational chart from the Chinese pirate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate) Sao Feng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sao_Feng), which will lead them to the World's End.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-bath_house) They journey through a frozen ocean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean) before sailing over an enormous waterfall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-trailer) and into Davy Jones' Locker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Jones%27_Locker_%28Pirates_of_the_Caribbean%2 9).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-0) While imprisoned there, Jack Sparrow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Sparrow) is confronted with the many facets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facet) of his character[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-end_is_nigh) before being rescued by Will, Elizabeth and the crew.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-trailer) Despite their mutual animosity and distrust,[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-1) Sparrow and Barbossa form an alliance when they discover a more sinister threat has arisen; Cutler Beckett (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutler_Beckett), who now possesses the heart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart) of Davy Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Jones_%28Pirates_of_the_Caribbean%29), has begun purging piracy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy) with the commanded assistance of Jones and the Flying Dutchman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Dutchman).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-trailer) The world's pirates gather for a meeting known as the Brethren of the Coast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brethren_of_the_Coast), consisting of nine pirate lords,[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-end_is_nigh) including Sao Feng,[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-2) as the stage is set for a climactic battle between pirates, Davy Jones and his henchmen, the Royal Navy, and the East India Trading Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Trading_Company) at an enormous whirlpool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlpool).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_world%27s_end#_note-trailer)

So what do you think will happen? I've heard rumors (and Wikipedia has information pertaining, but there's no references listed for it) about what happens to (Admiral) Norrington. I'm not saying here in case anyone doesn't want to know (who doesn't want to know spoilers, though?), you just have to head over to Norrington's page.

I hope nothing bad happens to him. I quite like Norrington, aka Scruffington. Jack Davenport probably owns my knickers more than Johnny Depp at the moment.

I'm interested in seeing the whole love triangle play out (even though we all know Elizabeth is going to end up with Will-- bleh.) I also want to see just want part Tia Dalma will play. And I want to see Keith Richards as Jack's father. Reportedly Keith was so drunk they had to have someone hold him up to say his lines. XD

And we can't forget...

...Pintel and Ragetti! (Artwork by ~humon (http://humon.deviantart.com/). Check her others out, they're pretty hilarious.)

So, I'll shut up now. Ha ha.

EDIT: I can't believe I typed 'knickers'. Ha ha, this is what I get for reading all that Spike fanfiction last night. Is he the BtVS / AtS bicycle or is it just me? Spuffy, Sparla, Spru, Spawn, Spillow, Spred, Spillyria, Spangel, Spandrew, Spander, Spes... Shutting up now...

[CrazyAce86]

So... No one cares about the movie, my post too crazy, or what?

[Stephy]

Nah. I love the movie and can't wait. I honestly don't like the love triangle business though. When is the release date for cinema?

[Roxie]

i'm going to see any 8pm show on the 23rd..
release date is the 24th!

[CrazyAce86]

Wait, I thought the early opening was on the 24th, with the full opening on the 25th. Did they move it even more forward?

Oh, and since it's unlikely I'll get to see it right away, someone give me full spoilers! :D

[Roxie]

no, i just made a typo. it's the 24

[PopCulturePooka]

I could see it before you guys
Opens the 24th here too, but we are hours ahead.

WHO WANTS SPOILERS?

[CrazyAce86]

I do!

Full, complete details. Especially what happens to Norrington. And make it a meta, too, if you want, because I like 'em.

[Roxie]

I don't.

I doubt Norrington is in this one. I'm pretty sure his party ended in the last movie. He isn't even a supporting role, more periphial.

[CrazyAce86]

No, he is. He's in the trailer; he's the Admiral of Culter's navy now. He's definitely in it, I just don't know if he's going to survive or not. I heard that he's going to die saving someone or something like that and that just pisses me off. I like Norrington. He's the only one that's changed. Will is still Will, Jack's still Jack, Elizabeth is still Elizabeth... Sure, little things have changed, but Norrington completely changed and he lost everything.

If he dies I'm just going to start crying. TT_TT

And Pooka, you or whoever can PM me the spoilers since some people don't want them. Which I don't understand why you wouldn't want to know, but hey, whatever works for you.

[Saitou Hajime]

Jack and Barbosa died as well, and look where they are now.

[CrazyAce86]

True.

I love the scene in the trailer where Jack says, "Four of you tried to kill me in the past-- one of you succeeded!" :D

Look! I'm a pirate!

[CrazyAce86]

REVIVE!

Please?

[October in Hell]

I loved the second one, so I expect nothing else of perfection. Only cuz for $12 a movie ticket, it better be damn good, or I'll just wait for the DVD.

[CrazyAce86]

Sheesh, $12? We just pay $7.50, $6.00 if it's a matinee.

[Lan]

It's cause we're in Canada =(

[Soli]

My mom puts this video in the stores. \o/ With that cardboard thing that keeps all the movies.

I help her sometimes. And I never want to see another Pirates 2 DVD again! (I helped her at that release.)

[Duke Luke of Juke]

Ticket price all depends on where you are though, particularly big city or small town. And there are always variances. We have a theater here in BG where they let you in (I don't know if it's just us college students or everyone), for $2. Not old movies either, that's what we just paid to see Spiderman 3 last week or whenever.

[CrazyAce86]

So, who's ready to start the bad reviews?

I'm not going to see it until Saturday (although I'm debating that now), but I've read what happens. Bittersweet ending, Mr. Verbinski?

No shit, Sherlock.

I guess I knew Elizabeth was going to end up with that whiny little bitch, but man, that just sucks. Did they have to smack people over the head with it? Bleh. Orli may be okay, but Will Turner should have been put out of his misery back in the first movie. Too bad Norrington was too much of a good guy then to shoot him. *sigh*

In any case, it's getting worse reviews than Spiderman 3. :bored:

Meh.

*goes off to read Badass!Scruffington stories*

[Daishikaze]

Damn it! they screwed up Again?

Where were these reviews before my wife made reservations to see it next monday?

[CrazyAce86]

Some folks are liking it, others are railing against it. I'm still debating on whether or not I should bother seeing it. I'm figuring what-the-hell at the moment, since I'm not paying for the ticket and have nothing better to do Saturday.

Spoilers can be found at the IMDb page's forums.

[Decade]

Ok, I've been purposefully putting my TV on mute and closing my eyes/changing the channel EVERYTIME the damn commercial for this comes on because I DONT want to see ANYTHING before hand.

I decided Im going to do this with EVERY major movie i want to watch this summer, along with Die Hard 4 (messed up already with Transformers). I only have 2 more days to go before I can finally watch it >_<

[CrazyAce86]

Why are people so bitchy about spoilers?

[Roxie]

Are you serious??

"I've been looking forward to this movie. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm really hyped up, PLEASE RUIN IT FOR ME AND TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS!"

[CrazyAce86]

Yeah, I'm serious. Finding out what happens nine times out of ten makes me want to see it more. This time happens to be the one out of ten, but I figure it saves me seven and a half bucks.

Everybody acts like finding out what happens is going to kill them. Me, I want to know, I have to know. I hate seeing or reading something and not knowing what happens. I get so distracted by trying to pay attention to what the hell is going on that I miss all the good stuff, and when it comes to movies, I'm not spending more money to see it again or wait until the damn DVD comes out. Ugh, no.

And if spoilers really killed the experience, the no one would watch the Harry Potter movies or any other adaptation. :rolleyes:

[Saitou Hajime]

Movies based on books are a different experience than original creations. Don't forget that not everybody reads the Harry Potter books, and many of the people that do want to see the novel come to life on the screen, whether they know what happens or not. It's completely different from the novel, experience wise.

[Myrsilus]

I'd rather not pay ten fudging dollars to see a movie when I already know what is going to happen. If it makes the experience for you all the more worthwhile, then great. I would have never thought people not wanting to be exposed to spoilers would be such a complicated matter.

And for the record, I know many people that have never even picked up a Harry Potter book, yet they still get a mild stiffy on the announcement of a new Harry Potter movie.

[Duke Luke of Juke]

Spoiler: Jack Sparrow gets killed by a stingray.

[Roxie]

Isn't the word "spoiler" discriptive enough in itself?
Spolier: to spoil

people don't like things spoiled for them. And if spoilers really killed the experience, the no one would watch the Harry Potter movies or any other adaptation. :rolleyes:
That's completely different. There's no PoC3 book to read.
The adaptation is never the same as the book, some times there are DRASTIC changes (see "V For Vendetta"). Plus there's also the fact that you CAN read the book, no such option with PoC3

On a forum I used to visit, it is such a big deal that we have spoiler tags that will hide what someone has typed unless you click a button to make it appear.

[CrazyAce86]

IRT Luke: *snort*

People just get too uptight about spoilers sometimes. Not specifically saying anyone here, but some of those over at the IMDb boards are crazy sonsabitches about them.

And I hate people who prefer to be blissfully ignorant about new episodes of a show that the rest of the world is seeing, then get bitchy when they accidentally find something out. Why should the rest of the world censor themselves because American TV is run by fucktards?

I'm speaking specifically about the Stargate Atlantis fandom. The rest of the world got to see the last half season three on schedule, but SciFi decided that they were going to be stupid and put it on hold for six months. And now they can't figure out while they're loathed by the fandom in the US.

I just hate ignorance period. I don't understand it. I don't understand not wanting to know. "It spoils the experience!" they say. Yeah, and knowing about sex beforehand spoils your first time, too. *shakes head* Dean Winchester is right-- people are crazy.

[Roxie]

Sex, outside of porn, isn't a plot line. Besides it isn't the same thing every time. Some times are better with others, then there's other ppl, so on and so forth.

Finding out what happens, having suprises, wondering what happens next (suspense) is what makes it so cool.

I would hate knowing everything that was going to happen before it happend. The most I'll do is look at the rottentomato reading, but I won't read the reviews.

But that SA/Sci-Fi shit is retarded, whiskeytangofoxtrot?

[Saitou Hajime]

CrazyAce, some people actually like a story to tell itself. Insane, I know; who in their right mind would want to watch something they invest their time in unfold at the pace set for it by the creators, who generally put things in at certain points, with specific music, tone, and acting, so that it has the greatest effect possible on the audience? That's just silly! I'd much rather read a poorly written post on a message board, such as, "OMG OMG OMG THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS KILLED BY HIS OWN BROTHER AT THE END OF THE SHOW!"

Look, it's your own preference to read spoilers before viewing something. That's fine, but it's also fine for the majority of people that don't like things spoiled for them. There's something wrong if you can't realize why people don't want to know what happens in a show or film that they greatly enjoy. I would much rather witness the events unfold as the creators intended audiences to view it. Twists, deaths, and mysteries occur where they do for a reason, and I for one enjoy the impact caused by them. If I know something is going to happen in advance, then I'll be expecting it and I won't be surprised, nor will my reaction to it be as strong as it would have been had I not known beforehand. Sure, there will still be a reaction, but it will be much weaker than it should have been.

I spoiled myself for many things during this season of Lost; while it got me very excited to actually see it happen, I would much rather have waited and found out during the show instead of through other sources. The very reason why you are excited about finding things out, and thus searching for the answers through spoiler sources, is because of the reaction created by viewing a show; if it makes you want to hear the answer so much that you'll read it before you watch the episode or movie, then think about how you would feel were you not spoiled.

If that doesn't explain it, nothing will.

[CrazyAce86]

I hate surprises. I really do. I don't like being surprised or misled. When my ex-fiancé wanted to get the engagement ring, he plotted with friends and had me purposefully misled so he could 'surprise' me. I went, admittedly, ballistic on them. I should have known he wasn't worth marrying then if he thought he knew me well enough to marry me yet did not know my loudly proclaimed dislike of surprises. :bored:

And SciFi is pretty much a bunch of fucktards. The Battlestar Galactica fans made it their bitch and have been running the show. (SGA was pushed back so BG could air. And I'm sorry, but that's show is soapier than Oprah and Jerry Springer's love child. [Also known as The O.C.])

Of course, intelligent SGA fans like me just watched the show on YouTube or downloaded the episodes and enjoyed them with the rest of the world. The only problem we face now is the idiots posting and saying, "OMG, Beckett dies!" Uh, yeah, we knew that back in FEBRUARY.

It's a long, bitter issue with me. I'm just tired of hearing the bitching of I-Hate-Spoilers-But-I-Visit-The-Spoiler-Threads-And-Forums-And-Complain-About-Seeing-Spoilers people. After the millionth time... *sigh*

And back on topic, I still don't understand why people don't want to know. It just does not make sense to me.

Uh, okay? In that first part, you complain about fans that don't want spoilers and don't visit the spoiler pages, but then in the second part you complain about fans that don't want spoilers but do visit the sections. That's pretty messed up and intolerant.

And back on topic, I still don't understand why people don't want to know. It just does not make sense to me.

Didn't you just say that you hate ignorance? Not being able to wrap your mind around why people don't want a show or film spoiled for them... well, that in itself is hard to wrap my mind around, and I'm sure most others here would agree.

It's understandable why some people might want to read spoilers, but it's also understandable why people wouldn't. I'm not just saying this from the point of view of a person who hates spoilers, since I already said I read the spoilers for Lost.

EDIT: Also, just to get this in before things are spoiled for people that don't want to know what happens in advance, whether you like spoilers or not, please have the courtesy to mark spoilers and warn people that they're in your post. You may not see the problem with spoilers, but it would be decent to not ruin the experience for others.

Had a bad thought run through head involving you , your Ex, and surprise. I think I need jesus.

[Urban Collapse]

At World's End should just had Bloom and Depp kissing in the end.

Ergh.

But to the topic: I haven't seen the second one. Frankly, the first movie was enough.

[Masa the Masta]

I saw it.


Epic win.

[Jiant Flying Panda]

Juat came back from seeing it. It was alright.

[Sock Full of Boiled Dimes]

Why I didn't like Pirates of the Carribian: At Worlds End by Rob Washam

What the first movie does so great and the second movie leaves you wanting more this one leaves you disappointed.

Why didn't I like the last one? Well it could be the disjointed plot that hardly ties the last movie up and only just adds new things into it to make it more frustrating. The movie was too long and ended up being cheesy with an ending that is stupid and pointless.

First let me start with what is good about the movie.

The fight scenes are spectacular when they do happen and leave you actually fooled that this is a good film. Especially the ship sequence where the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl are fighting each other in the Maelstrom. It had to be one of the coolest things ever.

The bitter rivalry between Sparrow and Barbrossa. It's just funny. It seems far fetched that they would ever work with each other especially after the first film. However, their rivalry and the eventual capture of the Black Pearl...again makes it kind of a high point.

Keira Knightly is very cute/hot in the film.

The Bad:

Almost everything else.

While Johnny Depp does bring out a good performance in this film everyone else's are practically done to death.

The plot is disjointed with everybody betraying everyone every 30 seconds in the film. It was it this point that I didn't care who's loyalties lied with who I just wanted SOMETHING to happen. I'm not kidding there is a scene in the film where people are betrayed a bunch. It was a very poor part of film making.

The addition of Callisto was stupid and making the Voodoo woman be her was even more lame. Thanks for insulting my intelligence movie.

Elizabeth's rousing speech to get everyone to fight a whole armada of ships wasn't convincing and more so lame.

What was the final straw for me was the entire armada leaving after the head ship is blown to pieces and the fact that every other pirate ship did jack squat. It was pretty much the Black Pearl. I just couldn't get over it and it seemed really rushed.

While there are some fine points to this movie there are more bad points to it. It was a movie that was already tired of itself right after they rescued Jack Sparrow.

2 out of 5.

[CrazyAce86]

I'm curious, 17, what did you think of the Keith Richards scene? I've heard a lot of good things about it, even from those who diehardedly hated the movie.

[Roxie]

I saw it twice before you even woke up.

[Sock Full of Boiled Dimes]

I'm curious, 17, what did you think of the Keith Richards scene? I've heard a lot of good things about it, even from those who diehardedly hated the movie.

Uhhh...very short.

I mean he hardly ever talked in the film. Allthough he does a good job of looking the part of Jack Sparrow's father.

[vdawg5]

Just got back from seeing it. It's definitely the weakest of the three in my opinion, but it didn't fail to entertain. I will admit, number 17 brings up some good points about the negative aspects of the movie but I don't like to over-analyze movies in retrospect.

Pros: It's still pretty. Stuff still blows up. Knightley is still mighty fine eye candy. There are still some laugh out loud funny bits.

Cons: It's a bit too convoluted for its own good. Also a tad too long at nearly three hours. Story isn't exactly consistent.

But yeah, overall, I give it a rating of "alright." Although I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if those assholes in my theater didn't yak out loud and run around slamming the exit door for the entire three fricking hours. God, how I wanted to wring their necks. Ahem.

[Duke Luke of Juke]

It was good stuff. I was surprised it was as artistic as it was in spots, frankly. But on the other hand, there were some bits that we're too over-dramatic for me (like Elizabeth's speech before battle--but pre-battle speeches are overdone nowadays anyway, so that's just a pet-peeve of mine). It was entertaining as heck though, which is all I wanted from it really.


I give it a 17 out of 5. Haha, classic.

[Roxie]

I don't know what ppl are expecting out of this movie, but I am expecting something fun, with adventure and comedy--a ride--and I feel as though I got that.

Somethings could've been handled better and it is the weakest of the three, but I believe it accomplished what it set out to do--and that is NOT winning oscars, but winning hearts

[Daishikaze]

Who said anything about Oscars? Winning an Oscar doesn't mean a movie is good, only that the panel think it was good.

I'm expecting this film not to waste any time, is that too much to ask? But it sounds like they made the same mistake as the second one and padded out the film to fill up time.

Will I see it? Well I have to, we already reserved seats for monday.

[Roxie]

Winning an Oscar doesn't mean a movie is good, only that the panel think it was good.
Which, as you can see if you continue to read to the end of that sentence, was my point.

we already reserved seats for monday.
you reserve seats?

[Daishikaze]

Yeah, you kind of have to reserve seats, theaters are quite small in Switzerland, so if you want a guaranteed place, you need to reserve ahead of time. Also its only showing in English in certain theaters, and we don't like seeing english films dubbed into german.

In addition to your point, it takes alot more than one or two good actors for a movie to win my heart. The only great thing this trilogy has is Depp and the guy who plays Barbossa, were the only ones to bring any life to the film, the second film didn't really have it all together in the story department like the first one did, and thats why it failed with me. This new one sounds like more of the same, a great performance from Depp & that Barbossa guy (I want to say Geoffrey Rush, but I'm not sure thats his name) (hopefully from Chow Yun Fat as well, but it depends on the script I guess), the rest of the cast being rather poor, and a story that just doesn't hold together. If I think any differently on Monday, I'll let y'all know, but I have a feeling I'm going to be pissed off about wasting money again.

Going to the movies can be very very expensive in Switzerland, which is why I do it so rarely, 9 times out of 10 it just isn't worth it.

[Stephy]

I waaaannnnnaaaa see it.

[CrazyAce86]

I might see it tomorrow. Maybe.

I think I'm just gagging on the Will/Elizabeth overload. I understand that romance is part of any story, really, but if I want to see a chick flick, I'll watch a chick flick. I don't want fluff and WAFF and sap in a supposedly kickass pirate movie. Of course, I think Will Turner has the personality of cardboard, so maybe that's why I don't stomach it so well. I like Orli, I do-- he's adorkable in Elizabethtown and was a good choice for Legolas, methinks-- but Will Turner? Ick. My cousin, who's in love with the character, can have him. I'll take Jack (even though I'm convinced he's gayer than rainbow leopard print hot pants), or better yet, Scruffington from the second movie. :D

Yes, I know, I have oddball tastes.

I'm not watching the clip after the credits. Just... No. I've only ever bothered to stick around after the credits once, and that was for X-Men III: The Last Stand. My aunt and I were the only ones that waited, too. Man, I need go watch that clip of Juggernaut's line again...

[CrazyAce86]

Is it sad that I think this utter crack would have made a better movie?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFXhUV-MS7g

"And don't come back!" :rofl:

[Roxie]

not my cup of tea.

[ZaichikArky]

This was probably the most confusing movie I have ever seen. I had no idea what was going on the entire movie. But all my friends who went to go see it with me thought the same thing. I still thought the movie was pretty cool. Fight scenes were pretty cool and I liked the Black Pearl on the sand :p.

[Sock Full of Boiled Dimes]

I got the movie I just thought it was stupid.

[mugen]

Depp was awesome. Other then that the movie sucked. If you gather the pirate lords, then damn it, make them fight.

[Saitou Hajime]

Going to have a review of the movie in the "Movie of the Day" thread tonight or tomorrow.



SPOILER:









A scene was cut from the film, explaining that if Calypso met with Jones after ten years, then he would have been freed from the ship. This means that Will is freed at the end of the movie. :)








END SPOILER

[Timmah]

Why did Barbosa have a piece of 8?

[Roxie]

cause he's a pirate lord.

[Radiance]

My peanut.

[Ceirnian]

I enjoyed the movie a lot, kinda started off on the slow side but from there it got better.

[Timmah]

cause he's a pirate lord.
No he's not, he was originally Jacks first mate.

[Daishikaze]

No he's not, he was originally Jacks first mate.

Ah, but he could have acquired his title in the years that he was Captain of the Black Pearl, yes?

Anyways, This movie only succeeded in angering me, but are any of you really surprised? For each thing I liked, there was a ton of things i didn't. Its a shame because I was really hopeful for this franchise after the first one, and now I'm just left really annoyed by it.

[Timmah]

Ah, but he could have acquired his title in the years that he was Captain of the Black Pearl, yes?


yeah but if he aquired it while being the captain of the black pearl it should mean that he had aqquired jack's pirate lord status

[Daishikaze]

Too true, but to be honest, I don't think they thought the whole thing through in the first place. I mean it is Hollowood, stuff like that isn't important, looks is everything, we should have been so dazzled by the effects that we wouldn't notice little things like that.

[ak24]

Only thing I cared about the movie was: 1) Keira Knightley 2) Johnny Depp's performance 3) Keira Knightley 4) Keira Knightley 5) Keira Knightley.

:bang:

[Stephy]

If anything I heard that Keira Knightley's performance was pretty dull. Some complained she isn't a great actress. (Not my own thoughts as I have yet to see the movie. Just what I heard.)

looks is everything, we should have been so dazzled by the effects that we wouldn't notice little things like that.

Exactly, Daishikaze

Well, I am a film major so I usually look at everything: Story, characters, developments, etc...

This movie was a little confusing to me... and dragged a little too long. I didn't really like the characters except for Captain Jack Sparrow, Davey Jones, and Barbosa.

So, in conclusion, I decided I like this movie just because of Keira Knightley... and the fact that it was meant to just "entertain" audiences with fancy special effects. Silly, I know. :duh:

[Daishikaze]

Its getting easier and easier to "entertain" people these days, thats all I'm going to say.

This franchise just sank Matrix style. It started out amazingly strong, became disappointing, then finally sadly disappointing.

Sounds like some people didn't want pirates to turn into a more heavily fantasy oriented story. I liked that part of it a lot, and didn't expect it to stay mundane after the first one.

[Daishikaze]

Hey I liked the fantasy aspects of it, but they didn't really followed through with it very well. What I hated was the mostly flat acting, and the rapid-fire comedy.

The fantasy aspects could have been pulled off alot better than they did, I know it could have, but somehow it felt like nothing was thought through very clearly. The acting could have been alot better, and too many cardboard characters that I felt nothing for. And I don't mind comic relief when there is alot of tension, but there was no Tension because everything was played for a laugh, and it was severely tiresome.

I really hate what they did with Keira's character in this movie and how they tried to make her more important that she really has been in the entire trilogy.


SPOILER:

1) Why the hell would you make HER captain?

2) Why the hell would you make HER Pirate King?

Sure the movie tries to give good reasoning for both (I...guess? :boggled:), but it honestly was just 2 very stupid moves. I blame feminism (Im just saying that for Roxie's attention :innocent:)

Depp was the shit.


The only thing satisfying about Keira Knightly becoming Pirate King is that we all know Luffy's going to have to kick her ass now, eh Masa?

[Decade]

Anyone good with Photoshop or something?


I really, REALLY want to get a picture of Swan looking at Jack Sparrow with it saying below:

STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN


:rofl: please, someone make this happen for me

[Ceirnian]

It made sense to me why she became the pirate king, no one else would have stayed to fight... which is what jack wanted.

[harper]

I just got back from seeing at and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Not as good as the first movie, but a lot better than the second. I liked the ending plus the bonus scene after the credits.

Did anyone else catch the Queen ELizabeth I vs Armada in the pre-battle speech/priate king parts of Knightly's character?
