    I came in expecting something good and was immedately underwhelmed by the beginning. But as it went on it seemed to get better. Overall, fairly enjoyable, and I'll still go to see #3.

    Haven't seen it yet. They were showing it for free at UTS during the open day today, but we didn't want to go spend, what, three hours? watching a movie when we could ge gathering precious info. I liked Jack Sparrow from the first one though. :D Oh and apparently one of my friends got excited and went crazy when Orlando's character was being whipped and my other friends were pretending not to know her...-_-;; I'm glad I didn't go that day...^^

    This was not a good movie (excluding special effects and THE KRAKEN!!!!). All the humor was forced (as in, Johnny Depp saying "Oh Bugger" every time he got into Jack Sparrowish situations), the plot was far too jumpy, and alot of the scenes were a waste of time (the whole island with natives scene...). I hope the third one is better.


    Did anyone else notice the obvious Star Wars references?

    Pirates 2 was the most hideous, overwrought piece of **** I've ever seen in the theater. None of the 'comedy' was least bit funny or original, the plot made no sense whatsoever, Kiera and Orlando are terrible actors, and what the hell was up with Barbosa appearing the end?!

    I thought it was it was pretty crap. Far too many protracted action scenes that were just padding for an otherwise pretty empty movie that seemed a bit disjointed. Nighy was good as Davy Jones though. And as with the first, Depp seemed to drag every one along with his charisma.

    Boring. Far too Hollywoody.
