Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

[feona17]

So I was out shopping last weekend and saw this delicious Johnny Depp poster which I bought right away and put up in my room. Everytime I look at his piratey face, I get so psyched for the movie. I have mixed feelings about it since sequel's have a rep of being really bad. Anyone else excited? :p

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's not like the first movie had a memorable plot or anything. All the sequel needs to do in order to uphold its predecessor's legacy is continue to provide some decent scenes of Captain Jack fighting zombie pirates, which I expect it will. And taking into consideration the Cthulhu-inspired <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Jones_%28pirate%29">interpretation</a> of Davy Jones on top of that, it could very well be even better than the original.

[drunkymonkey]

I can't wait for it. I never saw the original, but pirates, zombies and Bill Nighy make a great mix.

Plus: Keira Knightley. Woof.

[Zeromus_X]

It looks pretty interesting, I suppose.

Now where is SapphireStar...

[~SapphireStar~]

IM HERE!!!!!
Yes Im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to this movie as many of you can tell! I love Captain Jack Sparrow and I think Depp does a wonderful job in playing him. Im taking my cousin to see it hopefully on the opening night as a treat cause she hasnt been well lately.

The first film was great, I just hope this one is just as good .....
OH WHO CARES IF ITS GOOD OR NOT!! JOHNNY DEPP PEOPLE!!!!

[Captain Maxx Power]

It's Pirates. What's not to love?

[drunkymonkey]

It's Pirates. What's not to love?
Exactly.

[anacacia]

I personally cannot wait to see the movie. I love Johnny Depp, and Orlando Bloom. I also think Kiriea(sp?) Knightly is a good actress. I think it will be good.

[drunkymonkey]

Keira is the correct spelling. Sexiest woman in the world apparently. I'm not arguing.

[anacacia]

Thanks for correcting grammer. :p .

She is pretty I will agree. I always thought of her as a young Winnona Ryder.

[~SapphireStar~]

I loved her in the first movie, made me laugh. I just hope she hasnt gone all hardcore like Rachel Weisz did in The Mummy 2. I dont like it when the heroine turns into an Alien Ripley.

[Sefie1999AD]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest probably isn't going to be anything too great, and there's a risk that the sequels will pull a Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions since they're released within such a short time. Although who knows, it has Johnny Depp and also other good actors like Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, so it might still turn out quite entertaining.

[drunkymonkey]

I loved her in the first movie, made me laugh. I just hope she hasnt gone all hardcore like Rachel Weisz did in The Mummy 2. I dont like it when the heroine turns into an Alien Ripley.
Apparently she is involved in a couple of fight scenes. Nothing too 'RAWR I AM A MEAN BITCH' though.

[~SapphireStar~]

Oh thats ok then. It will be nice for her to get more involved in the action sequences.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

As if I didn't already want to kill her for delivering that terrible "Corsets are painful! >=[" line in the first movie.

[Sefie1999AD]

As if I didn't already want to kill her for delivering that terrible "Corsets are painful! >=[" line in the first movie.

Do you mean the line "You like pain? Try wearing a corset!"? :D

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Yes. Thank you so much for reminding me of the exact phrasing.

[Chris]

I wasn't too fond of the first movie, but I didn't hate it or anything like that. I'll go see this movie to satisfy my curiosity. I love Pirates by the way. :D

[Miriel]

I tried out to be an extra for the 2nd and 3rd movie. To be more exact, me and my best friends tried out to be asian hookers for the scenes that were supposed to take place in Asia. :p

But yes, I really liked the first one. I am excited for this sequel.

[~SapphireStar~]

Really? Thats cool and a third movie you say?

[Miriel]

Yes, the 2nd and 3rd sequels were filmed at the same time early this year.

[Spiffing Cheese]

I can't wait to see it! I'd seen the first one twenty-three times at the last count. :laugh:

I love Johnny Depp. He's a really good actor and he plays the weirdest roles.

[SammieBabe]

The first movie was entertaining and I'm sure this one will be as well, but Johnny Depp has done way better work...

[NorthernChaosGod]

I really can't wait to see the movie myself. I loved the first movie, pirates are just awesome in general. I even have the trailer on my myspace profile.


Plus: Keira Knightley. Woof.
More like Rawr.

[Rostum]

Yeah, I can't wait to see this one. :) I really liked the first.

[Moon Rabbits]

I thought the first plotline was great.

anyways, I'm excited for this one. And the third one. And any other POTC related things they will make.

[feona17]

Johnny Depp is probably one of the best actors out there. Not like those crap actors like Tom Cruise and Ben Affleck. Please. So I look forward to Johnny's performance, possibly more so than the movie itself.

[FallenAngel411]

Most who have seen advanced screenings are already giving this movie favorable reviews. Many of the viewer reviews I've read praise it as better than the original. I think we have a lot to look forward to. :love:

edit: Johnny Depp is God incarnate :love: :love: :love:

[Shlup]

Pirates? Yes. Good. Me like.

[~SapphireStar~]

So I look forward to Johnny's performance, possibly more so than the movie itself.
Agreed, Johnny is PoC :D Tempted to go and get the Captain Jack Sparrow bobblehead, but its at my boyfriends shop and he would kill me if I bought it cause he knows I love JD!

[Spiffing Cheese]

I can't believe I lost my Jack Sparrow poster. I even had a Will Turner one. And I lost both. :(

[~SapphireStar~]

You need to get more STAT! Im planning on getting a Captian Jack Sparrow door poster for when I move into my own room in halls next year. If I put one up in our apartment, my boyfriend would only rip it down :(

[Resha]

AH YAY I'M SO EXCITED YES!!!!! 13th July and I'm just so angry I wish it was sooner! I hate Kiera Knightley so much, she's annoying -- BUT...Johnny Depp is super-awesome. I'd tolerate both Knightley and Bloom for his AMAZING acting. I love the trailer for the second movie woag woag. Can't wait.

:excited:

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

looks better than the first

[Kuzotz]

The female character I forget her name, but yeah she dresses up as a boy so that Orlando Bloom can be the only good looking person in the film.

[~SapphireStar~]

The female character I forget her name, but yeah she dresses up as a boy so that Orlando Bloom can be the only good looking person in the film.

Why spoiler that? We all know what she looks like cause of the trailers. And Orlando Bloom isnt one bit attractive. Johnny Depp was the only hunky person in the last film, this one and most likely the third installment.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

It's Pirates. What's not to love?

You are 134.6% correct.

[Madame Adequate]

Pirates? Yes. Good. Me like.

Our Shluppers is right on the money.

[Clouded Sky]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest probably isn't going to be anything too great, and there's a risk that the sequels will pull a Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions since they're released within such a short time.

Nothing to worry about. It's Johnny Depp! None of that Keanu Reeves crap... :D

SO EXCITED!

[Craig]

I saw it earlier. It's damn good.

[feona17]

I saw it earlier. It's damn good.

IS IT?!? IS IT?!??!?!

Yes, I'm seeing it on saturday. I'm SO excited.
... Wait, it's not Friday yet, how did you see it? Download?

[K-chan]

Plus: Keira Knightley. Woof.

Agreed! ^^ And she's dressed up all spiffy-like as a pirate in this one! I'm going to try and see it on Monday. Gah! The wait! : )

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah.

That was fracking awesome.

[Mitch]

I saw it last night. It blew my already destroyed mind.

[feona17]

I saw it last night. It blew my already destroyed mind.

Really? Omgosh, I know I keep posting, but I'm so excited for this movie. I wake up every morning to Johnny's poster and errghh I have to wait until saturday.

[Craig]

I saw it earlier. It's damn good.

IS IT?!? IS IT?!??!?!

Yes, I'm seeing it on saturday. I'm SO excited.
... Wait, it's not Friday yet, how did you see it? Download?

It came out on Thursday.

[~SapphireStar~]

Yeah came out yesturday in the UK. I was meant to take my cousin to see it, but it would have been jam packed. So me, my mum, my cousin and her mum are all going to see it next week. 4 JD fans screaming at the screen, going to be great!

[escobert]

It looks good to me.

[Germ Hamee]

It's not like the first movie had a memorable plot or anything. All the sequel needs to do in order to uphold its predecessor's legacy is continue to provide some decent scenes of Captain Jack fighting zombie pirates, which I expect it will.

Thank you, Kishi. Thank you for always being there to speak truth.

I'll wait until a friend has it playing on their home theater system when I walk in the door. When the time comes, I'm sure I will enjoy it. Perhaps this time I won't so thoroughly forget the entire thing.

[Rye]

I'm seeing it in a few hours, and I'm excited about it. I hope it's mosly Johnny Depp though, and not so much Kiera like last time, because she really irritates me. Kishi speaks the truth about that corset line, it makes me cringe everytime I hear it.

[Breine]

I'm excited to go see it. I clearly remember the day when me and my best friend went to see the first one and how it completely blew us away. It'll be interesting to see if the sequel can deliver as much goodness as the first one did - The trailer sure looks great and Keira Knightly is as hot as ever ;)

[Rostum]

I can't wait to see it. =) I really liked the first one, and I like Johnny Depp.

There's alot less corset wearing in this movie.

[Rye]

I just got back from it. It was good, but not as good as the first, as expected, and it ended abruptly (since I suppose it's a 2-parter, due to the 3rd movie) and the ending made me so upset because of something that I won't trust to name in even a spoiler tag. Good though. :)

[Samuraid]

It was great, definitely darker than the first movie, but most middle movies in trilogies exist to set up the events of the final movie.

All in all, it was well worth seeing, not to mention having great special effects.

[Roto13]

It should have been "Ninjas of the Carribean"

[bipper]

zomg pirate redmages and ninjablackmages! roto has a new eoffad!

[Dreddz]

Im watching it tomorrow :/

[Madame Adequate]

Look at cast listings for At World's End (Working title for PotC 3); it's not permanent. xD

[Cruise Control]

Ninjas of the CarribeanDo you have any idea how many times I have told friends this in the last week?

I just saw it, and it has to be the best movie since Jurassic Park.

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

I can't wait to see this movie. When it comes out I'm going to see it. It seems so good!

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

It is out.

And it was a good movie, I liked it a lot.

[StarChild]

It is out.

And it was a good movie, I liked it a lot.

:eek: you saw it already...without me...:cry:

just kidding ;)

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

Wow! It was good eh? Anyways, Orlando Bloom sure is hot! So yeah! I can't wait to go see it.

[Aralith]

Well, I heard from quite a few people that it was getting bad reviews from the critics, pre-public release. Just what I heard. Don't know the truth of it though, since I haven't checked it out myself. I loved the first Pirates though, so it probably won't matter what kind of reviews the new one gets, I'm going to go see it anyways.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I thought it was a rather solid movie. A bit more gruesome than the original, too.

The ending makes you want to see the next movie, if for no other reason than to know what the hell just happened.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Don't buy the critiques crap. They hate it whenever something great is re-released in the same vein. I saw it last night, 12:01 AM (no, i'm not that big of a fan, but one of my friends is a Johnny Depp FREAK. she dragged 8 of us with her, lawl.)

Honestly, if you liked the first one, you will adore the second one. If you didn't like the first one, you whill abhore the second. It's more of the same, which in my opinion, is brilliant. But for god's sake, wait for it to get rolling good. The movie, once it get's kicking, is basically PotC:CotBP to the fifteenth power. More fights, more sarcasm, more rampant "everybody has a different agenda" running around and trading sides, more... Jack-ness, and more incredible monster CG than you can shake a stick at. But, the first twenty minute will more than likely aggravate you.

The first little bit was... quite dark and bleak. don't worry, it doesn't stick around long. When it does brighten up a bit and become humerous and adventurous, the In-joke references to the first movie will come so often and fast you'll pray to god they won't keep it up. luckily they don't, because that would've killed the movie. but, as i said, once everybody has hopped on a boat and gone chasing each other, it's awesome.

8/10, the only two minuses being that the beginning didn't fit the mood of the film at all, and the ending... isn't there. It's basically disney giving you the finger and saying "go see the third one in a year to find out how it ends!" so the beggining sucks, and the end sucks. the middle is glorious.

i completely agree with all you just said. i seriously thought the movie was gonna run for like another 30-45 minutes so they could tie up everything, and then the credits began to roll... i was like, ah crap, now i have to wait for the next one to see how it ends... really enjoyed it though, especially the CG, it was awesome.

also, if you stay to the end of the credits, there is a minor funny scene to watch. not all that important, but it made me laugh. :D

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

just saw the movie and it was great i was really surprised how all the characters turned out to be when certain situations arose...especially elizabeth's character...much darker..much funnier, action packed and awesome special effects...cant wait for number 3

my only tiff was (and was already said) with the begining....it didnt really fit in with the plot and because of that, it didnt really start smoothly and it took awhile for the plot to pick up but when it did your in for a ride (omg that scene with the barrel and the fights on the beach lol)!

the acting was really great im still shocked at what elizabeth did lol and yeah good cliffhanger...they got alot to resolve in the third movie, which will be awesome

overall a really good movie but one thats not for those with weak bladders...tis around 2 and a half hours long

oh and one suggestion...watch the first movie...it might help!:D

[Hayabusa]

Critics are stupid-= They said superman was bad...and it was freaking goood--

I saw Pirates yesterday, It was pretty cool and good, not as good as the first, naturally, and it pretty much set it up for the third one.

Cough.....Matrix? Let's just hope it doesn't explode - But I LIKE the ending and think it's a nice twist. So yeah...I want the new pirates now!

[DarknessFromAbove]

T_T *cries* I could have seen it yesterday, but it was sold out by the time my friends got there, so they made me see something else.

I wanna see it sooo bad though! I loved the first movie. It's no fair T_T

[feona17]

I'm seeing it in like 2 hours. (12:30 pm) I can't wait until tonight haha. Yeah, um, critics reviews are nothing. Go see the movie for yourself and judge it for yourself, don't rely on other people's opinions.

[daggertrepe]

So I look forward to Johnny's performance, possibly more so than the movie itself.
Agreed, Johnny is PoC :D Tempted to go and get the Captain Jack Sparrow bobblehead, but its at my boyfriends shop and he would kill me if I bought it cause he knows I love JD!

Johnny Depp... :love:

*Drools*

[SnoopyG]

It was a great movie, better than the original. Ending was a great set-up too.

The part that freaked me out was when Bloom was following the rope and that guy popped out of no where.

[feona17]

AHH I SAW IT AND I LOVED IT :love: It was good, I think maybe better than the first. About a couple of moments were a bit cheesy, but the last 20 minutes or so was awesome. And the graphics, very very gooood. Johnny Depp is as hot as ever and did a good job, and Knightly kind of freaked me out in some parts.

Damn, I really need to see the third now.

[Ryushikaze]

"Unbreakable five game deal with Lucasarts".

All Pirates needs to do is admit that it's really Monkey Island the movie, and it will be absolutely perfect.

[-N-]

I so got set up to grovel for the third movie. I feel used. I love it.

[Kuzotz]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest probably isn't going to be anything too great, and there's a risk that the sequels will pull a Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions since they're released within such a short time. Although who knows, it has Johnny Depp and also other good actors like Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, so it might still turn out quite entertaining.
Matrix reloaded was pure genius Revolutions was a rushed project.

Anyway Dead man's Chest is a awesome movie with a twist ending.

[Cruise Control]

Did anyone else see the island where he got the parchment and think "ZOMG ITS MORDOR"

[FallenAngel411]

It wasn't as I good as I thought it would be. :cry:

But I saw it with a bunch of people who HATED IT and kept telling me about all the reasons they HATED IT and it was 12:01 Thursday night (I'm the Johnny freak) but I was overtired and falling asleep, so I think I was cheated out of something that would have been very special if I was wide-awake and out of the inflence of my pirate-hater friends. :cry:

Which is why I'm seeing it again tomorrow without them. :D

[Psydekick]

I saw it yesterday and well it was a bit disspointing, Jack Sparrow is to cocky and jokey and Will Turner is annoying.

Part from that though it is good apart from that stupid spoiler at the end, can someone who has seen the film please explain that too me via pm!:p

[~SapphireStar~]

Jack Sparrow is to cocky and jokey and Will Turner is annoying
That is what the characters were like in the first movie though.

[Captain Maxx Power]

zomg pirate redmages and ninjablackmages! roto has a new eoffad!

A set of arch-nemesi for me and my crew to battle? It could happen.

Also I've seen the movie and it absolutely rocked. I may even prefer it to the first for sheer entertainment value. I will say that I wasn't too shocked at Jack dying, since usually a main charater snuffs it or is otherwise captured/incapacitated in the middle of trilogies. I was however suprised and amused by the return of Barbosa, since I always really liked him as a villain in the first one.

[feona17]

But... Did he really die though.. I know he was swallowed up by the Cracken monster, but he is starring in the third movie. Yeah for sure, the last 20 minutes of the movie was full of twists eeee :p

[Psydekick]

How the heck is Barbosa still alive? He died didnt he?

[feona17]

How the heck is Barbosa still alive? He died didnt he?

Guess we'll find out in the third, or He was undead and then became alive again, like those two idiots that tagged along on Jack's ship. But then Jack did kill Barbosa in the 1st right.. I'm confuzzled.

[Madame Adequate]

I would guess that the answer is crazy voodoo <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">.

[feona17]

Well I just talked to my friend about Barbosa returning and he simply said "In the world of Davey Jones and the Kraken, death is probably not final.."

[Kuzotz]

How the heck is Barbosa still alive? He died didnt he?

Guess we'll find out in the third, or He was undead and then became alive again, like those two idiots that tagged along on Jack's ship. But then Jack did kill Barbosa in the 1st right.. I'm confuzzled.
still doesnt explain it because when he become mortal they shot him dead.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Possibly Barbossa didn't die from just one gunshot wound?

[Dreddz]

The third movie will suck, starting when Jack dosent die which will be the case, of course.

[Sephex]

I liked it. I hope the sequel doesn't do a Matrix Revolutions on us.

[Del Murder]

I thought that movie was great. It met the hype I had for it unlike X-Men and Superman. The beginning was kind of slow but the cliffhanger ending didn't detract from it at all. I left satisfied from what I just saw while still excited about the next movie. Good job Disney :up:.

Some of the characters were inconsistent but that didn't take much away from the whole thing.

My take on it is that both Jack and Barbosa died. Jack was eaten by the Kraken and Barbosa killed by Jack. Barbosa was brought back from the dead at 'world's end' somehow and I'm assuming that's why they need him to guide them back there. To the land of the dead to rescue Jack and the Black Pearl, who were both destroyed.

[The Captain]

Very, very enjoyable film. Some of the action sequences were simply breathtaking, especially the 3 sided sword-fight toward the end of the film. I was glad that there were so many different opinions and agendas going on, though it was a bit hard to follow.

Depp was his usual wonderful, eccentric self. The real trouble is, he was SO original in the first one, that we came to expect his odd behavior in the sequel, which takes away some of the charm, even though it shouldn't. The fact that Depp still gave Jack Sparrow new angles while keeping true to his character is wonderfully enjoyable.

I actually found the acting to be very good. Bloom, who I'm sort of on the fence with did a fine job, and Ms. Knightley (Who is even more breathtaking, if possible, in person) was great as well.

All I ask in the third film is this: Some sort of appearance by Keith Richards (Which I hear is a very real possibility) and for the loose ends to be tied up. The film set a lot of things into motion, so hopefully they all pay off in the end. I'm optimistic that they will, and am happy with the second film. Granted, I wouldn't call it high art, but it was a fun, rousing time that kept me involved, which is all I really can ask for.

Take care all.

That's probably it, very good analysis my friend. :D Then again they might surprise us.

[Strider]

Okay, I went to see it today and... dude, AWESOME. :D

As far as the ending goes, let's not forget that Barbossa's monkey was undead throughout the entire film. Could it be that something was amiss from the supposed conclusion of the first movie?. Either way, I totally didn't see it coming and now I can't wait to see what happens next.

[Jojee]

So I really am the only one who thinks that Pirates of the Carribean the original was way overrated, and am not/was not hyped at all for the 2nd one? :</>p

[Rogue]

that movie was bad ass

[Rostum]

So I really am the only one who thinks that Pirates of the Carribean the original was way overrated, and am not/was not hyped at all for the 2nd one? :</>p

I guess so! Hehe.

[Ouch!]

I saw it on Saturday; it was brilliant for all the reasons previously mentioned. I also came to the same conclusion that Del Murder did about Barbosa's sudden appearance. I was looking forward to this movie about as much as I ever have for any other movie (I rarely really care about movies until about a week before they come out), and it met my expectations and more. I feared that it was gonna be a mediocre sequel, but even the sudden "ending," if you can call it that, didn't put a damper on my enjoyment.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

...Wicked voodoo priestess. then again, as it seem is the cheat-death card for 90% of the pirates in this movie has been "davy jones will cut you a deal and give you a few more years" so i wouldn't be surprised to hear that. or, some island on the "edge of the world" that he came from is actually hell, and he just left, cuz he's barbossa and badass.

[Nick Schovitz]

I haven't seen the first one, but I played KH2 so can I still understand everything in the sequal?

[Ouch!]

As with any world in Kingdom Hearts, the plot is always truncated and rearranged to fit Sora's presence. I'd just rent the first movie.

[edczxcvbnm]

Awesome movie and I can't wait for next year. Spider-man 3 and Pirates 3? Sweetness!

[~SapphireStar~]

Still ... need ... to ... see ... it ...

[Venom]

I went to see it yesterday. I was quite pleased with it.:)

[Materia Hunter Yuffie]

It was awesome, I saw it yesterday. There was this preppy girl a few rows ahead and she kept jumping in her seat at some of the scenes and what appeared to be her boyfriend kept laughing at her. lol.
I didn't know about the third movie stuff before I went in and watched it and when it ended like that all I could say was "Why Disney? Why?"

[~SapphireStar~]

I was poking around the Internet for some decent Jack Sparrow pics and I clicked on Wiki and found his Wiki profile. Contains spoilers for the first 2 movies and the title and new character for the third. You have been warned. Very interesting stuff:
Jack Sparrow Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Jack_Sparrow#At_World.27s_End)

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The new character isn't really a spoiler since the movie won't even be released for another year and it's already been discussed in interviews and so forth.

[~SapphireStar~]

That was the first time I heard about a new character, so I threw it in as a spoiler in case people didnt know either.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I thought that movie was great. It met the hype I had for it unlike X-Men and Superman. The beginning was kind of slow but the cliffhanger ending didn't detract from it at all. I left satisfied from what I just saw while still excited about the next movie. Good job Disney :up:.

Some of the characters were inconsistent but that didn't take much away from the whole thing.

My take on it is that both Jack and Barbosa died. Jack was eaten by the Kraken and Barbosa killed by Jack. Barbosa was brought back from the dead at 'world's end' somehow and I'm assuming that's why they need him to guide them back there. To the land of the dead to rescue Jack and the Black Pearl, who were both destroyed.
My take on it exactly.

[Kuzotz]

So I really am the only one who thinks that Pirates of the Carribean the original was way overrated, and am not/was not hyped at all for the 2nd one? :</>p
Pretty much yeah and since I said that maybe someone will prove me otherwise since that is the pure purpose of some poeple on forums.

You should watch the second one though. I wouldn't say the first one was overrated I mean there has been a dry period for a few years and not many poeple talked about the first one in 2005...

[Jojee]

lol. I'll watch it when it comes out on DvD to rent, not worth spending $9 at the movies for :p So what exactly about Johnny Depp appeals to everyone so much, cos' I don't see it. :3

actually, it is worth the money to spend. i think it was way better than the first, and although the way they stopped it kinda sucked ( just because of how good the plot was starting to thicken), i loved it. i would pay to go watch it over and again. and i don't know if anyone else has put this, and if they have sorry, not trying to copy you, but i think that from the way elizabeth was acting toward the end, i believe that when then next movie comes out, her and jack will end up getting together i think anyway, just because of the way they were heating up before the end of the movie. and does anyone know the name of the third movie yet. i read somewhere that it was gonna be Pirates of the Carribean : At Worlds End. is this true.

[Craig]

I don't think her and Jack will get together, it just wouldn't be right. Plus if they did it would pretty take away Will's reason to be in the movie as he's always like "OMG I HAVE TO SAVE ELIZABETH I LOVE HER"

[Breine]

I just saw it yersterday and I must say that it was really great. It was nice with an enjoyable sequel for a change that not only lived up to the first one, but also made one interested about the third one. Great job Verbinski and all of the others...

[Blitz Ace]

Awesome movie and I can't wait for next year. Spider-man 3 and Pirates 3? Sweetness!
Spiderman 3?? ah crap, i hate spiderman... but pirates 3 will hopefully cancel out its crapness.

[Jess]

So I really am the only one who thinks that Pirates of the Carribean the original was way overrated, and am not/was not hyped at all for the 2nd one? :</>p
No. I haven't even seen the first yet alone the second.

...I will one day.

[daggertrepe]

I'm hyped! :p

[Yuna_wannabe]

Your right sequels do normally suck but For once i think they did sumthing right. I saw it fisrt day in theatres and loved it. I can't wait till the third comes out now. ANd i think the third will be just as good as the first and second. And just funny!

[Kirobaito]

Nothing too spectacular, but an enjoyable movie. Did anyone else think the Kraken looked like a Sarlacc pit?

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

loved it, 10/10 for me

ahh isn't that a bit of a spoiler, the part about elizabeth? meh. yeah, i dont know.. i totally gasped when i saw that certain part on the ship. :0

[BardTard]

I loved the movie! I think the funniest part was when they turned Jack into a human fruit stick when the angry tribe was chasing him. :lol: I was lmao

I thought I saw my grandpa at the movie theatre...

[Burtsplurt]

Eh, I thought it was pretty bad to tell the truth. Overlong, overcomplicated and not enough of Captain Jack. And as that's by far the best thing about this series of films, it made for a disappointing installment. I hope that number 3 is a lot better.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

whos thinkin on seeing it again? ill pay 7 bucks again to watch that

[Ki Ki]

I didn't like it! ):
It made me hate the characters I loved so much in the first one!
Like Jack was selfish and pretty useless and Elizabeth was off around falling for Jack while Will was doing all the heroics!
Funny thing because I really didn't like Will in the first one and he ended up being my favourite in the second!
I just liked the ending. I love Geoffrey Rush and will pay lots of moneyz to see the third movie! :D

[Del Murder]

Yeah, some of the characterization was inconsistent. Oh well can't expect a masterpiece.

[I Don't Need A Name]

it was supprisingly good! the kraken pwns all :D

[feona17]

250 million, in North America. (And it's only been 10 days) Sheesh, didn't know it'd be this big. :D

[fantasyjunkie]

I saw it today with my wife. I really enjoyed it.

[XxSephirothxX]

The pacing felt uneven, and the movie dragged on a bit too long...but it still kicked ass, and was a hell of a lot of fun once it got going. That's what a summer blockbuster should be. The 3-way swordfight was fantastic, especially, and the ending was awesome and somehow didn't annoy me, even though I expected way more resolution.

[Sefie1999AD]

In terms of acting, visuals, music, action and other things like that, the movie was well done. However, I didn't like it how the final 30 minutes or so were dragging the story only to resolve nothing and create reasons for a sequel. I also felt the characters were inconsistent with the first Pirates movie. The beginning of the movie was quite good, IMHO, and there were some funny moments and a few good action scenes, but otherwise, I didn't warm up to the movie like I did with the first movie.

[drunkymonkey]

Personally, I didn't like how in the whole movie, the 'good guys' achieved absolutely nothing at all. Davy Jones is still alive, and the British git has the heart.
However, that is totally forgiveable because of the pure awesomeness of the film. It was just a lot of good fun. Characters may be inconsistent, but the way Johnny Depp acted as Jack Sparrow was totally awesome, you have one of the best characters in film history right there; it really is amazing. Keira Knightley did really well too (woof, she could plunder my treasures anyday), and Orlando Bloom wasn't too annoying. Bill Nighy was excellent as the villain too.
I was a tad disappointed with no Monkey Island references though... no real ones anyway.
But it was an excellent movie, one of the best I've gone to see in a long while, and I can't wait for the next one.

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Couple things to say:

1)Horray for milking franchises and still making quality films at the same time.

2)Also, horray for cliffhangers, cause now everyone in the world knows that the 3rd movie will beat the box office record for the second one.

Still can't wait for it to come to my Dollar theater so I can watch it at work. ^^

[daggertrepe]

I saw this yestersay-it was pretty good, but long. :p

[I Don't Need A Name]

too long!? when i saw it, by the time it got to the end, it felt like only 1 hour!

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

yea i expected a tiny bit more

[feona17]

That my friend, is why they've made a third. Savvy?

[NorthernChaosGod]

The next movie comes out early next year, they did that purposefully. If you will notice, most second installments of a trilogy end in a cliffhanger that way.

I know, but the last 30 minutes still didn't work, IMHO. Those parts just felt like cheap cashing and didn't really get me excited about the third part. Matrix Reloaded had the same effect with the cliffhanger ending, I was feeling like I couldn't give any less about how the story continued. I think Empire Strikes Back did its ending well and left you wanting to know what's going to happen in Episode VI. Spider-Man 2 and X2, while not ending in a major cliffhanger, still ended in a way that you knew there would be a sequel, and you wanted to see more of that.

[black_cloud]

i haveth e full movie on my omputer

[Croyles]

overcomplicated
WOW! You must REALLY love your movies simple, because I did not think that was complicated at all, and im usually the first one to get confused.
I thought it was perfect light entertainment. :thumb:

[GooeyToast]

I fell asleep during this movie. Needless to say it didn't interest me in the least, well at least not nearly as much as the first one did.

[Rengori]

I fell asleep during this movie.
OMG, so did I!

[Miriel]

It was ok.

Elizabeth didn't bother me in the least in the first movie, but in this one, she annoyed me. She was rather useless and whiny and scandelous.

I did not like the turn Jack's character took either, but it wasn't so bad that he annoyed me.

I thought the action scenes were amazing. Even better than the first movie.

I did not think Davie Jones was all that great of a villian. Just didn't click.

I was kinda disappointed. I was still entertained. I laughed. I had fun. It was a good movie. It just... wasn't like the first one. I was enraptured by the first one. This one was just... nice.

[Jack]

I thought it was a little too dark for the whole Pirates thing. The first one was a jolly jaunt. A bit of darkness, but that was it. This one may be the Empire Strikes Back, but Davy Jones's pirates were a bit too gruesome. They just didn't need to be so over the top scary. The undead weren't.
It lacked fun, it felt it was serving a purpose, to set up At World's End. Which was the problem.

Plus, the manner how the characters all got caught up felt a bit ridiculous, trying to tie up all the loose knots with a single piece of string. However, I did like how it did feel like part of a Trilogy where bits in the 1st got some more detail and stuff, unlike Matrix where the 1st one felt a little disjointed from the next ones. Still, some bits were totally fun and I lapped up Jack's character. I'm looking forward to the next one, in the same way as Empire. To find conclusion.

(With Matrix, I wanted bloody answers out the third film. Like most, I exited Reloaded going "WTF is going on?". Revolutions was a bad film, AND it didn't answer anything decently. Let's hope Pirates is better.)

[BakerMan]

It was okay but it lacked a good ending, I'll have to wait for the next one to figure out if this one is any good. It didn't seem like too much happened in it.

[Spiffing Cheese]

I saw it for the second time today. :D

I think it's great. Not as good as the first, but nobody expected it to be, and the second parts of trilogies are often the worst of the three because they're... I dunno, setting the scene? :confused:

Barbossa being back is totally freaking awesome. Geoffrey Rush was the best thing about Curse of the Black Pearl (after Johnny Depp, obviously :rolleyes2).

A lot of it had me laughing, which is good, especially Jack with the dirt. :heart:

I loved it. :D

The three-way sword-fight was godly.

Something I was thinking about:

At the start of the first movie, there's a destroyed ship and Will is on the piece of wood. Was it the Kraken that destroyed it, maybe? Was the ship the Black Pearl? 'Cause I don't know if I made this up, but I seem to remember someone saying something like "we brought the Pearl back from *insert something evil and dark and stuff, can't remember exactly*"... I'm not sure if that happened or not. xD If I've missed something or am being really retarded, sorry. :p

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

what i was wondering is why jack was looking for the drawing of the key before the curse was on him

[Shoden]

I saw it for the 1st time today, loved it.
