Well well well.

It has surprised me that nobody has started a topic on this movie yet.
Came out yesterday....surely somebody must have seen it.

Is it just me, or does nobody go to the movies anymore?
Are you people going to the movies these days?

I might add a poll on this subject just to see what's what.

Either none of you go to the movies anymore or you knew something I didn't.

Pirates 3 overall? I think it was a flop.
It's more of the same but stretched out even longer than part 2.
It didn't quite deliver.
It was flat and wasn't really necessary.

Maybe it was just me I dunno.

I sat there trying to enjoy it.....but it just didn't quite deliver.

They're flogging a dead horse.

If they make anymore well.....there'll just be no point.

I love the original......I thought part 2 was pushing it and wasn't required....then part 3 has confirmed that they're just on a winner and are going on with it with not much story line.
I actually sat in my seat in need of a compass myself as I was a little lost and couldn't make out what some of the character's were saying.
If you see this film can you tell me if you had trouble making out some of the dialogue?
I had a dickens of a time trying to understand sh*t.
And is it really necessary to run the movie sooooo long?
Does it have to go for over 2 hours and 40 minutes really?

Seriously...if they make part 4 it's only because they can.

I'm losing interest fast.

I didn't enjoy Pirates 3.

It's like part 2....I've seen it once I don't wish to see it again.

I couldn't rent Pirates 2 and watch it again. I really can't.
And when part 3 comes out on DVD I won't be bothering to see that either.

If anything I wouldn't mind seeing the original again for old times sake.

Wanna know what the problem with part 3 was? There were too many characters involved and they keep introducing more characters to the story line.
I mean.....that whole part with the voodoo woman growing into a giant was that really required? What did it mean? She grew into the 30 thousand foot giant then just jumped in the water and was never to be seen again what was up with that sh*t?
It didn't mean anything.
The Chow Yun Fat character wasn't necessary either........
And Captain Jack Sparrow died in part 2 right? Remember the giant Octopus?
Well....in part 3 they went to world's end to ressurrect him but really all they did was travel to Iceland and fell over a cascade of a river and then found him on an empty white desert island.
Was that the after life?
The way he was returned to the story line was rather disappointing.
I thought part 3 was gonna be about the struggle to bring him back from death.
When I think about it...it really wasn't Johnny Depps movie.......he goes missing at times and I think Geoffrey Rush took the lime-light more than anybody.

The best part was when Keith Richards and Jack Sparrow are talking to each other and Sparrow goes, "how's mum?" And the other guy holds up her dead decayed dried up head and says she's doing alrighty.

The end fight scenes are a bit over the top with their high-tech computer reliance.
It's far-fetched all the swinging around....and the main characters never get killed. They always manage to survive even though they're out-numbered 100-1.
Although Bloom does die.... but returns later.
The parachute flying scene was bullsh*t.
Movie's bullsh*t.

It ends at part one for me.
The Curse of the black Pearl was new and fresh but they over-done it with more sequels that weren't required.
What I mean is....part 3 could have went on for 4 or why not 5 hours?
They could have made a Home & Away series on the lives of the characters and went for hours an hours with it.
It'll probably get its own TV show one day and have second rate actors in it just like Star Gate.

And ain't it amazing that in all this fighting and ocean war there's time for love between two characters?
Typical over the top Hollywood junk.

I see The Transformers is coming too. Another smash 'em up derby, destroy more American cities, make it big, knock 'em down, hit 'em up, destroy all movies.
I'm tired of this man I really am.
Hollywood aren't satisfied unless it has to be BIG and destroyed.

Pirates 3? I dunno. 5 out of ten maybe 4.

Wanna know what I like about going to the cinema? After the movie you go into the toilet and it has that whole movie feel about it that makes it complete.
May sound strange but I find comfort in the sh*thouse of the cinema's.
It's a homely feeling.

Ohh......I almost forgot.........there's a little bit more of the movie at the end of the credits.......so stay seated when it finishes and the end credits roll as there's about one more minute of film right at the very end.
Nothing special though.

Last night a trip down memory lane saw me watching The Faculty. It's not a bad show actually. I like the cast. It's a good concept but the ending's bullsh*t.

Nah mate, I'm sick of the over-produced, over-paid Hollywood "blockbuster" franchise bullsh*t.
I'd rather watch something more cleverly made, with plot and character development personally.

Have not been to the cinemas in years.

The home theatre is far more comfortable.

As for the Pirate movies have not seen them yet, I wait until they come out on Foxtel.

Patience.

I dunno......it's just a favorite past-time to go to the movies every now & then, you know?

With all the crap that's going on in the world it's nice to go back and lose yourself and remeber what it was like to go to the movies and be happy for a change.
The cinema can do this for you.

It brings you together, kind of, and rekindles something in you that makes you happy.
Comfort, you know?

There's something I forgot to mention yesterday.........the movie screne at the cinema.....what is that? Like analogue? It's not really DVD sharp quality, you know?
The bit where there's tons of Jack Sparrow's on the white desert looked blury to me in the cinema and made me wonder what picture quality they're using in film.

Anyway...when making you decision on this movie don't let your infatuation for Keira Knightly get in the way of making your approval for the film.
Some people hold special bonds to movies only because of certain characters and their love for them.
I think she needs a good feed and I thought she was better in part 2 pouting & stomping around kicking her feet when Depp and Bloom were fighting on the island.

Part 3 is a lost cause. The journey has no meaning. They went on an adventure with no purpose really.
All they had was Hollywood sponsorship backing their journey is all.
No purpose, man!

Speaking of DVD's.....does anyone think DVD killed video? I can watch Halloween on DVD and I'm not even frightened. On my old crusty video copy it scares my britches out of its skin, man.
Video is more intense than DVD.

Dude, that was an excellent movie... maybe im just a fan of the franchise and maybe i understood a lot more sh*t that you did. You keep sayin how Bloom dies and comes back again... if you didnt know that was gonna happen before it did, maybe this movie wasnt aimed ast the likes of you. There are alot of confusing sh*t, yeah, but like The Matrix, part of the fun is figuring it out. I cant beleive you called Calypso the 'voodoo woman', she was a demi-god not a f**king 'voodoo woman' god... people going to the movie... if you like to sit there and have a story told to you, this isnt the movie for you. If you want intrigue and intertwined plots, go for it. I admit, there are some things i still dont understand from this moive... but that is only becuas ethey are leaving it to be answered in a Sequel.

Only thing i agree with is some of the dialogue, but they are from the carribean... the are allowed to have a diff accent, and are supposed to.

I am very :evil: about missing the after credits part thouhg.

Tolerable, way too many storylines though.


But in saying that, it sh*ts over Spiderman 3.

Are you people going to the movies these days?

When I was in Armidale and lived near the cinema, I was there about twice a week when I could afford it. In Newie it was considerably less. In Glen Innes? We get movies when they're almost out on DVD :lol:

NO STORYLINE? were you watchign the same movie I was? I agree that Chow Yun Fat was wasted, but seriously... there was a storyline, MANY storylines in fact. IMO i didnt mind the length of the movie, its an excellent way to spend 2:48 i reckon
