Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Discussion (please use spoilertags)
 
I'm shocked to see that no thread was put up for this movie yet, so I'll start one/:D

I saw the movie last night...

Wow! That was so good, I freaking loved it!

I thought it was even a little better than the first one!

My movie theater was packed and sold out a few times for the movie, and it had two theaters open for the movie at the same time. The line was huge! It extended all the way out the door!

Jack was delightful (although he came off as a bit self-centered in this one...but it's understandable).

Liz gets down and dirty, Will is as noble as he'll ever be.

I loved the movie!!!!!

Hannah 07-08-2006 09:25 PM

She didn't wipe her mouth!!!! D=



>_> I liked it alot. More action than the first one. =D

Dr. Doom 07-09-2006 02:10 AM

The first one was better, this one didn't reach out and grab me in the same way. But it was a good movie.

Brodie 07-09-2006 10:35 AM

I was more interested in this one than the first. This one wasnt spectacular, but who doesn't like Bill Nighy, or giant ****ing monsters.

Jo Dawn 07-09-2006 10:54 AM

Saw it Friday night, surrounded by Pirates. Yes, there were pirates in my theater, which was rather cool, I must say, hehe. It was sold out alot around here, too.

I liked it. I'd see it again, for sure. Though, I thought it got a little too 'slapstick' for me. I'm not big on that (except the Three Stooges. That's the only time it's ok).

I'm not a fan of Keira Knightly OR Orlando Bloom (really, I don't get why people like him or even think he's cute.) Nor do I really care for their characters in the film. But I must say that Johnny Depp is, again, completely perfect for this role. It wouldn't be entertaining at all except the way he pulls it off. (And since I mentioned the lack of cuteness of the Bloom fellow, I'll say that I think Depp is at just about his most attractive as Captain Jack Sparrow.)

Entertaining, at least, is this movie. I eagerly await the third installment.

Savvy?

I dunno I was eating up the comedy.
Spoiler:
Especially the way Capt. Jack Sparrow ran, and just acted like a goofball.
I think it served it's purpose for me I was entertained. It was certainly a fun movie. Not a "Lord of the Rings" but I liked it. :)

ThirdMarioBro 07-10-2006 12:15 AM

Haven't seen it yet. Going to see it soon though.

Thank goodness. Hehe. :P I liked 'Pirates'. ;)

Spitfire 07-10-2006 03:48 AM

My Dad saw it and told me it was very action packed but the action was boring. He said he liked Super-man better *Which he disliked quite a bit* and he told me I would hate Super-man so I don't know it I'll go see it.

Dr. Doom 07-11-2006 11:46 PM

I just watched the first one again and definately enjoyed it much more. I'm a big fan of the whole undead angle.

DrSpengler 07-12-2006 12:20 AM

Here's my review. I loved the Hell outta the thing.

Superman isn't Hyphenated. Spider-Man is.

Your dad sounds like Jay Sherman. :lol:

I saw this last night, along with Superman Returns, and I have to say that I liked Pirates 2 better. The action was indeed packed, but I wouldn't say it was boring.

Spoiler:
Will and Norrington dueling on a water wheel, Elisabeth and the two bumbling pirates exchanging swords while running from Davey Jones' crew, the whole tavern fight on Tortuga, Jack Sparrow doing anything... :lol: Definitely not boring for me.


I loved the ending. I was so involved with the movie that I didn't think it would end the way it did. I was thinking, "No way. Come on, there has to be more." My favorite ending bits were:

Spoiler:
  • Jack face-to-maw with the Kraken, saying, "Hello, Beastie," before lunging inside with sword drawn.
  • The return of Captain Barbosa -- that made me smile.


When all was over, I said one word that describes this film for me: "Awesome."

Dr. Doom 07-12-2006 02:11 PM

I really liked Jack at the end of it, that was a great moment.

That's just what I thought of it too, it blew me away and I was begging for more!

PotC 2 was just as fantastic as the original, and is definitly one of my favorite movies ever!

I can't wait for # 3.

XERO 07-13-2006 08:46 AM

Loved it.

Now all I gotta do is see the first one.:P :lol:

I agree with KROW's spoilers. One of the coolest swordfights ever.8)

Raven 07-13-2006 03:24 PM

Pirates of the Carribean is pretty entertaining, very unique fight scenes and great dialogue.

I loved all the plot twists and humor through out the film, I'll definitely be seeing the 3rd movie.

Ra 07-13-2006 07:48 PM

I absolutly adored this movie! I saw it on Tuesday (Huzza for discounted tickets!) with my dad, and we both had a good laugh. I loved Davey Jones' beard with all of the tentecles XD
Spoiler:
Especially when Will was trying to get his key and tried parting the beard with the quills; I was amazed how they managed to get one of the tentecles to wrap itself around it O_O


Johnny was yet again a perfect choice for Jack, in all of his drunken glory. The walk, the stagger...
Spoiler:
The fact that he entered the movie by shooting himself out of coffin...killing a bird in progress
I wanted to wring Elizabeth's neck at the end of the movie for what she did at the end, and I wished all the best for Will in his own quest
Spoiler:
to free his father from Davey Jones, I mean.
Also, the ending...

Spoiler:
No! Not Jack! Anything but Jack! :( Oh well, now Barbossa is going to have to take everyone to the end of the world. Anyone else think they are going to Singapore or Australia?


The movie was kinda long for my liking, but that may have been because I ate a giant bag of popcorn and drank two bottles of water in the first half of the movie. All the same, I loved it, and I'm going to get it on DVD. 3.5/5 stars, or 4/5 for me. I loved this one, and I'm defiantly going to love the next. :D

Jo Dawn 07-13-2006 09:23 PM

Ah, I've always loved Depp's work. (Like, I'm talking '21 Jump Street) He's a great, diverse actor.

But I will say I don't think I ever considered him 'hot'....





...before Jack Sparrow.

*fans self*



*swoons*

愛 07-13-2006 09:28 PM

Would it be bad form if I said Depp is hot? Mad hot?

But in all seriousness, he's a wonderful actor. Especially in these two movies. I think he's a little more silly in Dead Man's Chest, and I personally liked it even more.

Jo Dawn 07-13-2006 09:38 PM

Well... I almost have to disagree... Because I didn't like the 'more silly' part of it. I'm not big on that. At all. I don't 'do' silly, heh....

But I think he was brilliant (as long as he doesn't get more silly in the third one). He's the only choice for Captain Jack Sparrow. ;) :)

The Stryker 07-14-2006 01:06 AM

Damn I feel out of place.

I didn't like it, Eh.

Ra 07-14-2006 05:30 AM

...YOU SUCK! *throws a rock at Stryker* :| Eh, I don't care if people hated it or not. The only thing I didn't like was the music. It sounded like it was recycled from the first movie (which I strongly suspect as a fact). The only music I really liked was when Jones was playing his pipe organ. That was entertaining for both my eyes and ears :) Shame it was only once though :( I want him to do a three minute solo in the third film :D

Sliced 07-14-2006 02:24 PM

Yeah lets create the most outstanding duo of them all !

Jones with............ The Kraken ! In an all out Pipe Organ extravaganza.
Never before did you had the chance to witness such a brilliant duo, the entry fee is nothing really. Give your soul to Capt'n Jones, and you're in ! As easy as that !

Come and see, and of course hear, this amazing P.O.E. Pipe Organ Extravanganza !

Yup, that would work :D

Mecha Cow 07-14-2006 06:07 PM

Aside from the parts where it tried too hard to be funny or sensational, I liked the movie, more than I expected I would. It did feel very long though, probably because there was SO much going on. Considering that, the 'ending' was really lame, but everything has to be a trilogy these days, so whatever.

I didn't love it, but I was entertained and I will be seeing the third movie next summer. I'd rate it about a 7.5/10.

ThirdMarioBro 07-15-2006 12:55 AM

I saw it.

Movie of the fu*king year. Brilliant, loved it, awesome, ect. KILLER movie.

Brian 07-15-2006 07:43 PM

I saw it last weekend and what else can I say but... wow. It was kind of hard to top "Superman Returns" after I saw that one, but this one did. Probably the best movie of 2006 so far.

OA 07-15-2006 09:29 PM

Man...whata great movie...just got back and i am soooo waiting for part 3..... i'm going to have to do something I havent done since Two Towers: early purchase a Midnight ticket and get their hours in advance to get good seats...

This movie was just so much fun....if you havent seen it yet, you NEED to go...A++

CookSux 07-17-2006 06:12 PM

since i've been bored all summer, i've managed to watch a multitude of big screen titles, and i must say that pirates has to be one of the funnest movies i've seen this year.

mi3 = meh, had its moments, not as good as 2
x3 = meh, had its moments, not as good as 2
breakup = meh, had its moments
superman = meh, had its moments, not as good as batman begins ;)
cars = :|, bugs life was the worst pixar film with this taking 2nd worst (not bad movie, but not as good as the other films)
devil weas prada = meh, not as good as the book
dupree = it was alright, maybe a buy

i forgot what else i watched...

pc2 = fun movie that kept me interested from minute 1 (maybe cause i rewatched the first one the day before) definitely a lot better than the first one, since i didn't like the first one much. cotbp had a better jack sparrow i think, considering that in dmc, johnny depp didn't fix his voice to match his first performance in the first movie.

Peanut 07-18-2006 08:26 PM

Alright...I finally just got back from seeing this. I love the movie. Loved it. I loved PotC, so I knew I would love this one. I loved the ending too. Made me cheer. I had one problem and it's something that plauges me in every movie where it happens...

Spoiler:
THE GOD DAMN LOVE TRIANGLE! WHY!?! It creates un-needed tension that I have no intrest in watching.


That being said, I'm heavily anticipating PotC3 and I'll probably head back to see this one at least twice more before it ends it's theatrical run.

Its called Hollywood magic, or as I call it, Hollywood's never ending stupidity.
That ''problem'' is suppose to add indeed tension and suspense... Yeah right.

Ah, yes, the triangle. As they say in Holleywood, "Three is the magic numba, babeh!", but I say "...no. No. No. No. No. No....NO!!!" ....

Spoiler:
This is the thing that gets me - everyone now thinks that Elizabeth and Jack are going to get together because Elizabeth kissed Jack AS A DISTRACTION to CHAIN HIM TO HIS SHIP! (go to the Killer Movies Fourms and into the Pirate section and you'll see what I mean about everyone...not really everyone, but quite a few people). Everyone now thinks that Elizabeth loves Jack. This is my POV - Elizabeth likes Jack, but as Jack stated, she was mearly curious about what it would be like to live on the wild side of life, and Elizabeth then also pointed out thatJack was also curious of what would happen if he did the right thing and being considered a hero after grasping an opitunity, instead of "waving at them as they pass by." She likes Jack, yes, but doesn't LOVE him. I've said this once, I've said this a thousand times, she and Will belong together. Although, it doesn't seem possible now since Will saw the...err...passionite pash that the two of them had together :ohwell:


PotC3 is definatly going to be the biggest movie by Disney in my opinion. They have broken so many "Disney rules" for these two movies so far. I can't wait to see what happens next! :o
