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.

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.

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. :)

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

The way he runs amuses me also. Hehe.

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

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.

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.

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.
