Dead Man's Chest

If you havent seen this movie, and dont want to know the ending, its okay, i wont give anything about the story away. but this post will be a derrogatory one, and if you dont want to hear my opinions, then dont read this.

for everyone else, listen up.

i went to see dead mans chest last night with adrienne. i told her we'd either see that, or devil wears pradda, whichever movie was next when we got there. unfortunatly the pirates of the caribbean was the next movie. it was awful. i'd tried to ignore all the bad reviews i had heard about it. after all the first pirates movie had very mixed reviews. so i decided that id see it for myself before i formed an opinion. it was awful. it was way too long. this one was mostly dialoge and computer graphics. the "bad guys" looked absolutly rediculous and werent really interesting at all. the worst part about this movie, compared to the last one, was there was only one sword fight. i guess they made up for it cause it dragged on for about 20 min. but the rest of the movie was running.

but forgetting all about the directing aspect of the movie, scenes and graphics and all, the story sucked. the initial confict could have been resolved very early on, the characters in the movie werent very exciting at all. jack sparrow wasnt the same cunning pirate i was looking forward too. and the ending was extreemly unsatisfactry. adrienne would agree. it wasnt a good suspence that left you feeling like you had to see the next one, it was an ending that was stupid and made the movie feel like a waste.

of course now that ive seen it, im going to have to see the next one, which im not looking forward too really. my advise, dont ruin the movie for yourself. dont see this movie. certainly dont waste your money on theaters. keep the origianl movie in your mind as a good movie. but this sequel ruined it for me.

i agree. Some funny moments, but really way too long, no personal characters, all graphic, completely and implausibly unrealistic! if it hadnt been for the fact that meg and i snuck into devil wears prada, i would have wasted $7.00

i totally agree. i spent the entire movie going "when is this going to be over?" and cracking up because it was so ridiculous. and yeah...now we have to see the 3rd one, how much further can they sink?

It wasn't my favorite, but I didn't actually mind it. Didn't get what the natives had to do with anything though. At least they were wearing clothes.
Think Sparrow and Elizabeth are falling in love?

sparrows just looking for some action from whatever girl he sees, and elizabeth has always loved him.
