Reverend Jax Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Saw this one. Some morning DJ i overhe-ARR-d said it best: Two and half hours well-wasted. Lots of fun, lots of g-ARR-eat ch-ARR-acters and action sequences, suff-ARR-s from a few problem he-ARR and the-ARR, p-ARR-ticul-ARR-ly in the beginning. Has a M-ARR-trix Reloaded clifhang-ARR ending. You'll like it if your liked the first one. ...yar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jont Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Avast, ignore any bad reviews you've seen, Dead Man's Chest is better than the first movie. There's a few slow parts, but you can be guaranteed that something amazingly stupid is about to happen any second, great effects, cartoonish action, lot of fun, the plot's not too hard to follow, still a bit weak in places, but you wont care why things are happening, you'll just be happy they are.

Mr. Exclusive Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Yeah, I loved this one! Usually when a movie has like 30 characters to follow, it sucks! This one had like 8 MILLION and it was still awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicManiac Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I concur. Way better than the first one. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 By the way, was it just me or did anyone else expect someone to suddenly yell "It's El Pollo Diablo, run for your lives!" or maybe Davey Jones to suddenly go "Bring me that boy and the key... and get me MORE SLAW!" I was also thinking there should at least have been a cameo by Guybrush Threepwood. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well, you can always hold out hope of Pirates 3. I'm not sure if I'd say it was better than the first. The first one had a really tight in the polt, action, character...this one suffered from pacing problems in a few spots, especially the beginning...basically, the first one, for me, never slowed down, this one did in parts. Still great, and Davy Jones was awesome. Can't wait for Keith Richards in the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 While I definitely wouldn't say it was better than the first one, I did love the movie. Comparisons to The Matrix Reloaded are apt in the ways it upped the stakes and set things up for the third movie (also in the way it had an almost nonsensical and rambling plot). While I personally would have preferred a more episodic, non-linear Pirates series, if they really wanted to go the epic route at least they're doing a good job of it. Can't wait to see how they resolve all the cliffhangers next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well filmed 2 and 3 at the same time so they didnt necessarily make 2 movies as one really long one that they split into 2 movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 More like a Back to the Future 2 & 3. Remember how the second one left Marty stuck in 1955 getting a letter from Doc. Brown from 1885... Feels more like that than the crap pulled in Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jont Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've also seen reports that Keith Richards was confirmed as playing Captain Jack's father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It's confirmed that he's willing and he's agreed to do it if he can. Last I checked they haven't got the scheduling locked so there's still the possibility that schedule conflicts will keep him from making his cameo.

Jont Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 By scheduling conflicts do you mean impending death, or is Keith still of the opinion that he's not for the next world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 The Stones still tour you know. He can't put a world tour on hold indefinitely until the shoot is confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I had heard on TV (entertainment tonight or access hollywood, cant remember which) that Johnny Depp and Kieth Richards had already shot some one on one sceens just before Pirates 2 opened. Anybody else hear that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Did they not film the two back to back, a la Lord of the rings? Still POTC2 was very good, i enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Yeah but also like LotR, they released Pirates 2 before all the filming was complete on Pirates 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aartemys Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I just saw it last night...and LOVED it! Hard to follow at times but otherwise, I loved every second of it, although I got dirty looks when I sighed as they ripped Will's shirt right off his back...

Jont Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Interesting but brief conversation with a (female) co-worker. her: I did think Kiera Kinghtley was a bitch though. me: Yeah, but he[Jack Sparrow] probabally did deserve it. her: No I mean for snogging them both.
