    I'd love to see a well made PROPER pirate movie.


    we had a propper pirate movie, Cutthroat Island and for whatever reason it was a flop at the box office angry


    No, no, no. I meant a PROPER pirate movie based on the facts and reality, not nonsense. There are so many great stories out there, for example, a film about Blackbeard would make great cinema but the score would have to be very different from the usual swashbuckling fare.


    ah shame
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    Honestly speaking, Cutthroat Island was much better movie than Pirate of the Caribbean trilogy. I didn't like any of the part. I just admire the talent and skills of Johnny Depp. He is one of my favorite actors in Hollywood. Without his presence as Jack Sparrow, the movie would have been very worst. Ironically, pirates of the caribbean did great business at box office. What a strange world? vomit


    that's true, if you mention POTC, everyone will mention Jack Sparrow. I wonder what would have happened if Jack wasn't in the picture?

    Ah well, POTC has got one major problem. They gave it so much twists it stopped being entertaining


    If Jack wasn't in the picture, most of the people would have left the theater very soon and film would have become big FLOP. Johnny Depp and Hans Zimmer were saviors.

    Have a nice day!

    Ah, ok. In that sense, i.e. plot-wise, you're right smile

    I like the bit where that event happens to one of the main characters because it develops the plot. I also like the bit after that.

    I was surprised to see how many people out here went to watch the PoTCs when normally the theatre for Hollywood movies is not even half filled. Then I asked them what they liked about the movies and their average answers were along the lines of "Johnny Depp rocks", "Keira Knightley is hot", "amazing special effects" etc etc. No mention of the plot, I doubt whether the majority of those even properly understood the story! biggrin

    And of course, a few of them mentioned "that background score during the end credits was good". tongue

    Plot of the movie was not much interesting. To be honest, whole plot was dominated by stunning visual effects. I had a huge expectation on Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, but in the end i was disappointed. angry

    They're still fun eye-candy movies though. Good for a light entertaining watch on a rainy day. wink

    I agree there are some good moments to watch in "Dead Man's Chest" like opening scene where Jack Sparrow escapes from tribes and last fighting on giant wheel are real feast for our eyes. But i don't think worth watching this in theater. May be on television. That'll do. biggrin

    I also really like Bill Nighy's performance as Davy Jones. Zimmer's organ theme for him was spot on!

    Like MASTER & COMMANDER, perhaps? I'd certainly welcome that.

    That said, I like the POTC films. Highly entertaining. And I think the scores rock too, even though I do not own any of them yet (just a matter of time).
    I am extremely serious.

    Yes, definitely like MASTER & COMMANDER ( a great film IMO and a shame it did so badly as we'll likely NOT get a second instalment ).

    And yes, I also enjoy the POTC films, just like the comedy of a KELLY'S HEROES or the gravitas of a SAVING PRIVATE RYAN there is room for both types of films wink

    I loved Master & Commander and I guess I have become impatient for more historical naval films. I can't wait for a pirate films to be done right.
    The POC trilogy clearly did not deliver. Plus, I strongly dislike Orlando Bloom. angry
    I also feel the greatness of Depp's Jack Sparrow comes more from the character and less from Depp himself.

    Agreed...apart from the bridge between the middle and end of the movie, it was probably the most enjoyable (if not confusing) Pirates film.

    Well, it kinda drags yes; but it has TOO MUCH of Johnny Depp in it which is actually never too much wink Enjoyed every bit of it, plus Zimmer's score is by far superior to the previous ones.

    To me that's not saying much.

    'Kinda drags' is an understatement, this film could easily have had an hour chopped out.

    I really doubt that. But can you provide some examples of about 30 minutes that could be chopped out?

    No I can't. For that I would have to watch this drag of a film again. The plot is so convoluted and messy I doubt many would have missed an hour.

    But did you understand it though? The plot was a labyrinth of twists and turns, but I had no problem navigating it.
