Pirates of the Caribbean

The film was alright - bit of a 'no-brainer'. Depp was a bit too OTT which left the other characters a bit too 'flakey stereotypes'. Alright for a couple of hours of viewing though.
 
just got back from seeing it and it was AMAZING! Pure adventure, yarr :D

Seriously though i thougth it was great, and Johnny Depp was especially funny. That bit right at the beginning where he just steps off onto the dock from his "ship", that was pure class :D

There were lots of laugh out loud moments where the whole audience laughed. Also the special effects were BRILLIANT especially with the fight scenes where they were moving in and out of the moonlight.

Wicket, even if you have seen the trailers they hardly give away anything from the film, i really liked that fact. Usually trailers pick all the best bits so when you see a film it doesnt feel as good, however the trailer for POTC really doesnt pick out some of the funniest moments and the ones that were used in the trailer (ie the corset joke) just didnt make anyone laugh in the cinema because everyone had heard it before in the trailer.

All in all i loved the film!
 
Outrageously entertaining and funny!

Jonny Depp, Keira Knightly, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, McKenzie Crook... everyone is fantastic!
 
There are to be 3 films in total with numbers 2 and 3 being worked on back to back so that thre wont be ahuge delay between the two sequels.

For those with the dvd - you may have missed the very very end of the movie - there is a short final scene AFTER all the titles have gone up - which perhaps gives a clue as to how the next one continues.
 
its almost the sort of thing that would have worked well as a pilot to a fun saturday teatime kind of show.

mind you, I thought the same thing about *sleepy hollow* - when they walked into London, they could have started some sort of Heath Robinson / Victorian CSI type outfit....

So basically 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is to become a trilogy then?!?

Well that could be interesting, we havent had an out and out fun romb of a trilogy since the Back to the future trilogy!:)
 
I'm a bit late to this party.
I saw this film last night, a little bit too long I thought
but really good stuff!
Johnny Depp was excellent! Kiera Knightley was lovely :)
Looking forward to the next one.
