Sometimes when I can't get it all figured out in time I need to ask my buddies next to me what is going on. I suppose you would never go to a movie with me.

Well, I certainly can't speak for all of us...

I saw the movie last night. In my opinion, it was so much better than the second, and may have even rivaled the first movie for "best in the series", in my opinion. Then again, I'm into the whole state of the mind things, so I really did enjoy Jack and his multiple personalities. He said it himself - "Death does strange things to a man". He was on his own in oblivion for god knows how long...how could you not escape there with your mind still intact? *shrugs*

I was actually kind of happy to see Will and Elizabeth have a bit more screen time and flesh out the characters...

Spoiler:

But I really didn't like the fact that in the end, everyone had their own ship. And Davy Jones-Turner left me really disappointed and confused, along with the secret scene at the end. What the hell is with that?

Anyway, Elizabeth is shown to be a strong, independent woman, Will is shown not be that much of a pansy, Jack is shown to be as crazy as a mad man...yada yada yada. Overall, I was entertained, was glad that it wasn't like Dead Man's Chest (which I thought was a poor attempt of a sequel, for some reason or another), and swooned when Jack first appeared on screen. I think I got my money's worth from the movie

Well I saw and loved it. Fortunately I was smart and bought tickets early online. Unfortunaltly i didn't arrive early enough at the theater and had to sit about 5 inches from the screen. My neck still hurts and because i was so uncomfortable during the movie as soon as it ended i jumped up and left and forgot about the scene at the end of the credits. I asked around and found out what the scene was, but i still what to see it for myself. Guess i'll be seeing the movie again, but i think i'll wait until its less crowded.

Anyways I thought the movie was way better than the second and almost as good as the first.

Spoiler:

You mean when Jack's nose first appeared on screen. I thought his multiple personality thing was awesome and hilarious.
Oh and what u said about everyone getting their own ship. Not everyone did.

Spoiler:

Yes! I was going into silent giggle fits until you saw him all set up trying to eat a peanut...I just burst out laughing with the entire cinema. It was just great

As for the ship thing..eh, I consider it everyone. The main characters that were still alive had one ship to each other, at least. Jack=The Black Pearl, Elizabeth=Sao Feng's ship, Will=The Flying Dutchman. But then Barbossa stole the Black Pearl again...so yeah, that kind of throws the idea out of the window... *shrugs*

It's a shame that I haven't been on here for a few days because then I could've bragged about how I got to watch the movie two days before it came out . I used to work a movie theater and whenever a film comes in it has to be reviewed. We did this with the last one as well. So the night the film came in my old manager gave me a call and I went and watched it was everyone I used to work with as well as with some friends of mine. We didn't start watching it until 1 in the morning and half way through the film got wrapped on one of the platters so that made the night even longer. Because of that and the fact that it's a 3 hour long movie I didn't get home until 5:30 in the morning.

In my opinion the movie was okay. The first is still my favorite. This one had a lot of politics in it to complete the story. The last fight scene was really awesome.

Spoiler:

What I hated about the end of the movie was that Bloom ending up becoming the captain of the Flying Dutchman. I don't know, it just sucked because recently I've had some friends that I love very much that will be gone for a number of years and the thought of someone that was a significant other being gone 10 years at a time and then being able to see that person only one day is just heart wrenching. I truly think that they should have been able to spend the rest of their lives together, ya know.

What I did like was the whole deal with Jack going after the Fountain of Youth at the end. It kinda makes me hope a little bit for a 4th one.

I don't see why

Spoiler:

Elizabeth couldn't join Will's crew. That way, they'd both be immortal. It must have been a decision since Elizabeth was supposed to be protecting his heart as well as leading the Pirates' Brethren Court. I also don't see the logic in Bootstrap killing Norrington other than for dramatic effect. Elizabeth forgave him as he was a mindless shell of himself, but there still wasn't enough reason for a mindless drone to come to the conclusion that Norrington had to be killed.

Spoiler:

I'm sad that he had to die, too. But Bootstrap's mind was going-- all he could think of at that point was "Part of the ship; Part of the crew". Anyone getting caught letting others off the ship before they served their "time" would be punished. My guess-- if Norrington had already been a fish-person, getting stabbed wouldn't have killed him, and he'd be in the brig too, eventually becoming one with the ship as punishment. But that's just my guess. *shrugs*

Spoiler:

I wonder what 'Rock Crab' tastes like.....

Why couldn't bootstrap remember anything

I think it's the price of slowly becoming a part of the ship. Granted, his brain wasn't fused to the ship just yet, but still...*shrugs*

[Spitfire]

I saw it, wasn't great, wasn't awesome. Better then #2*way better* and entertaining.

Spoiler:

You are right, Ruko. Bootstrap was slowly becoming a part of the ship, and, as you could see when he was talking to Elizabeth and forgot who she was about one minute after she introduced herself to him, was developing memory loss (Kinda reminded me of Alzheimer's when I first saw him repeating himself...only worse). At least he comes right in the end...

Also, in regards to a certain James Norrington...

Spoiler:

Did anyone else feel like he should have been made captain of the "Flying Dutchman"? I'll admit, I never really liked him, but I thought while I was watching the movie there was a chance of him becoming captain. It just...didn't really feel right that he died, you know? Ah well...at least Turner looks 35% more smexy with that scar of his now

Spoiler:

Never even considered that for a moment. That would have been cool and a less upsetting ending. The problem I would see there is that I can't see how he wouldn't go back to being an enemy in all that time. They wanted to end the character as a hero. Perhaps we'll see him resurrected still.

[Avatar Yuffie]

Funny as hell. Almost everyone in the movie is backstabbing the other, with a very fun, confusing and shocking final battle.

Poor Jack, though, the trip in the Locker literally unhinged him. Seeing what his head is like when he's all alone by himself is disturbing and amusing.

Barbossa's character shine in this film, and the undead monkey rules.

[The Terror of Death]

This the worst movie I have ever seen.

[Revan]

^ interesting. perhaps some biterness is tainting that rating from you, frank. I have seen a lot of bad movies. AWE must have had some things you enjoyed, right?

I enjoyed laughing at how bad the movie was in the theater.

But seriously, CotBP is one of my favorite movies and I thought the second one was decent but the third had no redeeming qualities whatsover. The fact that a movie series so epic (imo) turned out so bad is what placed this movie above my other most hated films. I expected alot more but AWE just didnt deliver. The audience must have agreed with me too because numerous people left the theater and my brother swore the movie made him sick.

Cons:
Movie was too long.
I didnt know what the hell was going on. (No one can honestly say the average viewer will be able to understand what is happening.)
There was way too much double crossing.
All the characters were unlikeable.
The action was half assed.
They did not bother to explain several things. Either that or I was too confused to notice.
There was too much unnecessary stuff.
And pretty much everything else I did not cover.

[Spitfire]

You don't watch many movies if this is the worst one you've seen.

I didn't think it was that great either, I'd never watch it again, but I give it credit for begin 3 hours and paced well enough to not feel so.

Then again I actually understood it, the movie was really easy to follow I don't see how you didn't get it.

[Mandi-chan]

It was the best of the bunch, freaking awesome!

I loved the first movie, I loved the second movie, and I loved this movie! Pirates gets better and better with each movie, I hope we see more!

I personally found NOTHING wrong with it (the same can be said for the first two movies as well), I can't wait to see it again!
