Pirates

Pirates is gd. Although not a movie tt everyone will like. Ppl wif a too serious attitude and those who dun laugh at movies, wouldnt find it enjoyable.

While Pirates is a adventure movie, its mainly a comedy, a comedy adventure basically.

I knew tt there's going to be 3 Pirate movies (trilogy, bah!)... But wat i didnt expect was the continuation from e second to e third. Tis movie ended wif no ending, thus expecting u to wait for e next. Tis is so bek cek u noe, much like watching Stephen Chow's Qi Tian Da Sheng (Monkey God), which left ppl cursing and throwing things at e screen. Ok i am exaggerating.

At least for LOTR, e directors and writers knew they had to end each one wif a resolution, tis is thinking ahead from an audience pt of view. And doing tis doesnt neccessarily turn ppl off fr e 3rd. Doesnt mean u leave ppl hanging, ppl will surely watch ur sequel again after wat, 1 yr?

I cant deny i like e movie coz of my fav male actor, no not Orlando Bloom (i only like legolas, i dun like e real Orlando Bloom, lol), its Johnny Depp. Without him, i tell u e whole movie cannot watch one. He is e spirit of e film, e main character obviously, but its his acting. Simply amazing. He transforms into his character seamlessly.

Some ppl always tell me they love Johnny Depp as well, but these ppl never watch his films. Even when they somehow watched his films, they didnt noe its him until i tell them. Duh.

Johnny Depp to me is e most charismatic actor. I like him ever since e melancholic character in Edward's Scissors hand.

Anyways, hes damn funny in the movie as usual. Very very funny, hes still in his forever drunken mode for Jack Sparrow, which i like alot. Keira Knightley is still as lovely as usual.

For tis one, i thot e CG is even better than e 1st. While e 1st was already very gd for e zombie effects, tis one is even better. I thot e make up is amazing as well. Totally on par, if not better than LOTR. But LOTR was too huge scale so maybe i shdnt compare them. Lol. However, e water effects are still too fake, i think for CG its still yrs more to go till they make a break thru in water effects.

However, i did find e movie too long. 2 and a half is way too long for e plot. It simply wasnt tight enuff especially for e 1st hr. For e 1st half of the film, u wouldnt really noe wat they r saying, e relations, e adventure.

You wouldnt really understand them until e whole thing explains itself later. Theres too much politics, internal affairs which while were in relation to e characters but not drivin e story. Knowledge of e 1st Pirate movie is not neccessary, but i guarantee u would be quite lost at least for e 1st half. And without subtitles, their English accent proved to be quite tough for many.

I had an enjoyable time looking at familiar faces and their effects tis time. Some things did blew me away. I am still going to catch e 3rd. Its still gd movie, and its worth ur 9.50 bucks. But like e 1st, it is a forgettable film. In fact, its quite a blur to me already.

Ppl after e movie said they shd re-watch e 1st, but seriously its not entirely neccessary unless u cant haf enuff of the characters. =)

FYI jus to fill up e hole, e last character tt appeared is e original Captain of e Black Pearl (ghost ship) which Jack Sparrow stole from e prev movie. Tts pretty much all u need to noe.
