POTC 3 trailer is AWSOME!

blueoakleyz · 03-25-2007, 12:46 AM

looks like they just repackaged all the junk they couldn't sell last year.

*XERO* · 03-26-2007, 03:39 PM

Bring on more Kraken. Then I'll be satisfied.

**Jo Dawn** · 05-25-2007, 12:38 AM

Anybody else see this yet? Our theater had an 8:00 and 8:30 showing to open it up instead of midnight, heh.

Really, I'll comment tomorrow, when I'm coherent enough to speak. I'm sooo tired.

I was dissapointed. Unlike most people, I liked Pirates 2 and the cliffhanger was great. This was the movie of the summer for me (This and the simpsons movie) and after Spider-man 3 blew, I was hoping this could at least be better then that crap. The first few scenes of the third one were great but then it just went downhill. Too many storylines about the deals and betryals. Elizabeth, Sao Fang's (Who I have really big arguments about his screen time-see the movie and you'll know why) and Tia Dalma's storylines did not really work for me. There were some unawnsered questions (The Kraken anyone?) and it just dragged. I felt Jack and Barbosa were pretty much sidelined for Elizabeth's story. That's the bad, now the good

Johnny Depp steals scenes but again, not like he did in the previous 2. I still feel he was sidelined for Will and Elizabeth's story but he does his job. This was the most comical of the films and with the dull storylines, it needed to be. There was a return of 2 characters from the first one, which while they didn't really play into the story, I was questioning where they were in DMC. Now the ending fight scenes were amazingly good and pretty much saved the movie for me. There's a shocking twist in one of the battles (although it get pretty much resolved and kills that moment) but defentily the best battle sequence of the three movies. And the ending does leave room for maybe at least one more story. Not sure how I feel about it. If the writers are going to completly destory and acutally make some stories laughable (Tia Dalma's was completly crap) then I don't want another one, but maybe a 4th can be better then the third.

Overall, dissapointing. Felt like if an hour of this movie was cut out, it would be better. That's not complaning about how long it was, just that there was a lot of stuff that really didn't help the plot. There were at least 2 or 3 new storylines which was a mistake in my opinion along with Sao Fang, I mean talk about missed oppertunity. I really thought this movie could save the summer movies but I guess I'll have to chalk this one up with big dissapointments along with Spider-man 3. I still think it was passable, ok. Just not what the other two were.

*gobo* · 05-25-2007, 02:53 AM

Saw it at 10. The cinema I went to showed PotC3 in every one of their theaters this evening. What's funny is that I just saw PotC2 for the first time today. Didn't even finish before I had to leave. 2 complicated and confused things so bad. It was really hard to keep up with who was double-crossing who at any given moment. Reminded me of M:I 1 in that respect (the # isn't important in as much as it's the only I ever saw). This third PotC was nearly the best they could have done with the mess they left with the second. Pretty much how I felt about Matrix Revolutions. At World's End was still a bit hard to follow at times, but it was a satisfying conclusion to Dead Man's Chest. I don't care to say anymore than that so that I don't start spoiling it for anyone. I know. That's what spoiler tags are for. But, I'm too tired to deal with all that now. Just be on the lookout for a pair of characters that haven't been seen since the 1st flick. That's all I have to say on the subject.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-25-2007, 04:07 AM

Saw it yesterday. Like the 2nd, it was better than it had any right to be.

The story was a joke ('Oh no, you betrayed me!' 'Oh no, now you betrayed me!') and it was way too f*cking long, but overall the movie was just pretty cool. Well, except for the scenes with Keira 'Talk through my teeth' Knightley.

Wouldn't say it's a good movie, but it's definitely a fun one.

*E* By the way, apparently there is a scene after the credits. I missed it, but those of you who are still going might want to stick around.

**Jo Dawn** · 05-25-2007, 11:43 AM

Agh. Apparently I wasn't even coherent enough to see there was already a thread about this. Thanks, whomever moved it for me.

A scene after the credits? Darnit.

Ah, I liked it... But I really dislike Swan and whats-is-name... Will? (Of course, it doesn't help that I don't like those actors, lol).

I liked it. But there were alot of unanswered questions. Too much Swan and Will. And it was trippy, lol. I mean... what was WITH Sparrow's sudden multiple personalities? Was it supposed to be entertaining? 'Cause, aside from the two freakily obssesed girls in our theater, no one laughed. Everyone was just confused. Or was it supposed to show that, yes, Sparrow IS truly insane.

I wish Depp were in it a bit more... or he was more like in Pirates 2. That had more of a serious undertone with the storyline. Though I did enjoy this one. I'll be back later with more comments. (Rejoice ya all.)

Tabularasa · 05-25-2007, 01:41 PM

If they do make a 4th one I hope they give us a lot more Depp and Rush. Those two can carry the movie by themselves. They did it in COTBP. It's just that the writers say Elizabeth is the hero, and Sparrow is the secondary character. That's all good, but they have to realize the audience is not paying to see Elizabeth or Will (well most of them are not) they're paying to see Sparrow. The 4th one has to be for the fans, and not any more of the crap story they did with the third one. I didn't think Dead man's chest was too confusing. Maybe I have to see at world's end a second time to get it, but it just felt like they movie was good in the beginning, downhill in the middle, but the end saved it. But I think I'm reading too much into this. It's an entertaning pirate movie. I just wish Depp and Rush were involved more.

Peanut · 05-25-2007, 02:27 PM

Yeah, saw it last night and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I knew there would be a scene at the end, simply because the last two had them, so I stuck around.

It's all "10 Years Later" and shows (Surprise! Yeah...ok.) that Elizabeth got pregnant the last time she was with Will, and she was standing with her son on some cliffs, as the Flying Dutchman comes sailing in.

Either way, I enjoyed it a lot. I thought the actual ending, with Jack in his little dingy, was awesome.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-25-2007, 03:41 PM

And this is why I never leave a theater before the end of the credits scroll.

*Anarky* · 05-25-2007, 07:06 PM

Now then, I've seen it as well, only two days after opening day. This is a new record for me since I usually wait until all the laughing and cheering tarts have seen it and then I can enjoy the movie I paid 17 bucks for in peace and quiet. Anyways, it wasn't as good as the first one. The Curse of the Black Pearl was fantastic. Part II was rather lackluster and had too much talk. And I agree with all those who say that Pirates of the Caribbean is about Captain Jack Sparrow and not Lizzie and Legolas. Sure, the two make for nice backup characters, but they're not lead-material when compared to Sparrow. But then again, we have to live with what we get and the third part was actually better than the second. Lots of forced and artificial plot twists, but amazingly awesome scenes with shipfights and Captain Jack. I didn't get the whole Multiple Personality-thing either, but it was rather entertaining, despite lacking any logical and storywise important explanation. And I actually liked Will Turner in this one, mainly because the ending wasn't happy-pappy-wonderland-everyone's-hunky-dory.

And I just might go and see it once more with a friend of mine.

Ah, I knew that was gonna happen. Well, glad I didn't stay, then. Thanks for the clarification, though.

*DrSpengler* · 05-25-2007, 10:05 PM

My review.

I really liked it, though it was my least favorite of the trilogy. Like everyone else, I thought there was way too much side-switching.

Still a lotta fun.

*VaughnMichael* · 05-25-2007, 10:35 PM

I ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT 100%!!
I'm not gonna say anything about the movie and kill it for anyone but man was that a suprise him being jacks dad or what ahaha I didn't know about that.

This movie really touched me I'm officialy a Pirates fan now and I aint talking baseball.

**Jo Dawn** · 05-25-2007, 10:43 PM

Well... Keith is who Depp modeled Sparrow after, so it was kinda a given. Sad thing was, was that half the people didn't 'get' it.

So uncultured.

Or, well... young.

Tabularasa · 05-25-2007, 10:59 PM

Maybe I missed something but did anyone else notice that they never really flat out said Keith's character was his father? There's a moment when he calls him Jacky, but I thought there would be a bigger moment. Oh well, I loved Keith though. Kind of looked liked Captain Hook, but really cool.
