Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
 

Ok, Im fully aware that this is not a horror movie, do you really think I care? It has Lovecraft refrences, I think that qualifies. I mostly just want to rant about a certain part of the film that really pissed me off.


***Huge Ass Spoilers***





THE GODDAMN ENDING. What the fuck. I mean sure, it did it's job. It's there to hype up the 3rd movie and it worked. But really, could they piss off the audience anymore than that? Build up to some crazy coool shit, kill off Jack, ressurect the best character from #1 (other than Jack, of course)...then roll the credits.:mad: :mad: :mad:

I completly realise that this is exactly the reaction that they want, but it still pissed me off. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. Not as good as the first but still alot of fun.

DAMN THE ENDING TO HELL

:) Empire Strikes Back syndrome!

Took my kids to see it last night really enjoyed it. Whens part 3 coming out?

May '07 is when it's set for.

what charactor came back?

About half the cast from the first film.

i have to confess i actually liked the first one but thought this one was too confusing - too much plot, too much reliance on me remembering anything about the first film, not enough johnny 'drunken cary grant' depp - the whole forced keira knightly twist at the end (with the shackles) was painfully abrupt. . . overall too too much (and for that matter too too long)

I like the Karken the best.

Agreed, that was damn cool. Id hate to see it's dental bill though...

Exactly what I was thinking... a big set up and a few downers coupled with a ray of hope. Maybe that's why I liked it so much.

**More Major Spoilers**


Bear with me if this doesnt make sence...Im too tired to proofread tonight:p


Even though I like the direction that it will take the next film, Im kind of disapointed that they killed off Jack. Not because Im one of those rabid fans that whine if theres more than 5 minutes without Johnny Depp, but just because it totally changed his character. I liked how in the first film and through most of this he always had that small shred of nobility, but nothing more. It was one of many things that made him such a unique character, so it kinda bugged me that they copped out and made him so noble and selfless in this one.

well, I think he had a shimmer of nobility by coming back to the ship, but when he took on the Kracken, I think it was because he had no where else to go and decided to face his problem head on otherwise he would never sail the ocean safely again (Jack Sparrow standing fearless in the maw of the creature was one of the coolest scenes I have witnessed in a long time.)

SPOILERS AS WELL ===
The ending didn't piss me off / dissapoint me in terms of WHAT happened, but rather how it was treated. it didn't feel emotional / prolific enough. It's not something that made me tear up, gasp, feel shocked, or otherwise. I suspect it not to stay in my memory above pother scenes. In fact, just 15 minutes after watching it... I lready feel no need to care about it.

The best movie of the summer so far. Great action, Terriffic humor, and wonderful FX. I loved it. Can't wait for part 3!

I think you missed the point...

Mild spoilers.....

"There will be a chance for you to do the right thing"

I think he finally decided to do it.




Scoreboard

Johnny Depp-0 Kraken- 1 Hollywood-999999999

I didnt miss the point, I just dont agree with it. Ok sure, it will set the love triangle to complely explode in #3, but I still think it was completly out of character.

**Spoilers**



The whole movie I'm trying to see where Barbossa's gonna fit in...''everybody's selling their soul to get something, maybe Barbossa did it to get back at Jack....no''....

''Did he take the heart? stop reaching idiot, how the hell could he do that, the commodore took it''...

''Maybe Jack's going to try to get his help? wait...they all think he's dead''

Then with no more than a minute or two tops left he shows up, says something about his ship, bites an apple and that's it.

I'm more excited to see him as a main character throughout the next film rather than to have had him a secondary villian in this one, so it's all good.


Besides all that, I thought it was a great movie and I can't wait for the third.

From the opening scene of the first film she's expressed fascination with pirates, at the end of the first when her father asked ''so this is the path you've choosen? after all he is a blacksmith.''...she replied ''No, he's a pirate.''(might not be those exact words but close enough.)

She likes pirates because they represent the opposite of the life she's not satisfied with, so she starts to fall for Jack because he's THE pirate.


And besides that they're modeled after two real famous pirates that met and fell in love in a somewhat similar way.

2 minutes ago, i didnt give a rat's ass about this movie. i enjoyed the first one enough, but i didnt care about this one. Now, though... i had to skip all of the spoilers because now i am curios.

My 7 year old loved this movie and just about peed her pants when I told her there would be a number 3.
I like Jack's character and I like the story and do not mind one bit that it's becoming a franchise- considering the amount of crap Hollywood forks us.

If you like action and mythological stuff I don't see how you wouldn't at the very least be entertained.

I thought it was suprisingly good. It did leave me hanging, which is a mojor pet peeve of mine. I refused to watch any more Matrix movies because of the gay ass "to be continued..." I guess the ending of pirates didn't bother me as much because of the fact I knew they filmed the 3rd one at the same time. I thought that the casting for the new characters was ideal. No spoiler from me. sorry. It could have been better, but it wasn't as disappointing as most of the movies this year. Especially Stay Alive. Don't get me started. Anywho, back to Pirates:


The best lines of the movie was:

"braaw, don't eat me. Don't eat me."

"I'm not going to eat you!?"
