At World's End

[tolkienfan]

Here is the new thread for Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End.

I just got back from seeing it! It was amazing. WAY better than the second one. If you go see it, wait until the very end, past all the credits. It's worth it. Not like the dog thing , I promise.
MAJOR SPOILERS:

So what did you think of the end? I thought it was a bit too sad, but okay. I still can't believe Will died, but it seems in this movie that nobody who "dies" stays dead. I'm really glad the Pearl came back. The beginning was sad too for that matter. Some parts were unrealistic and kind of stupid (like the parachute thing) but thankfully there was less of that than in the 2nd one. I think this was maybe the funniest one. I loved seeing Jack's dad. The score was great. I liked the story of Tia Dalma and Davy Jones, but it was very sad. I'm glad Beckett died, but I think his death could have been shortened a bit.

I'll have to write more tomorrow, it's rather late. So, what did you think?

I think my take on this movie will give away to much, so I've 'spoilered' it.

It was incredible. And by incredible, I mean it literally was not credible. The whole movie dives face-first into this unrealistic world of legends which have a hard time keeping to their own rules, never mind the rules of the real world. Everything is possible. Anyone who dies has a chance at coming back to life except for two unfortunate souls who die and are forgotten about as soon as their final scenes end. Everyone gets stabbed at one point or another. Everyone gets thrown into the brig and then miraculously escapes. There's far too many Jack Sparrows running around chasing legumes for no apparent reason. The good guys and the bad guys are so hopelessly muddled I eventually decided that the only characters worth rooting for were the two aforementioned unfortunate souls who died. Keira's make-up never moves--I think she got that eye-liner tattooed on. Will has an earring and a superior attitude that is simply cheesy. All the dialogue is bloated with 'piratey' words that people have been tossing around on the internet since the first movie came out, and the whole plot plays out like a sickening fan-girl-fiction. The ending was awful. And Keith Richards was just plain uncalled for. It was without a doubt one of the dumbest movies I've ever watched. The pirate trilogy makes a dismal end.

my goodness i cant believe you could say that in my opinion it was the best one made it was funny, dramatic (violent well sorta) and finally everything made sense it was a great trilogy and in MY opinion it was the best in the trilogy and in MY opinion it was very good and they could not have made it better

[tolkienfan]

I didn't mention that the special effects were amazing!

Except for the giant Callypso thing, that was weird and just bad.

[Elfmaster XK]

I am afraid I have to agree with Rosie Gamgee. It could have been so much more. Unfortunately, they wasted the idea of a dying pirate age and filled it with nonsense.

Disappointing.

[orithil]

Well true, but the pirates of the caribbean trilogy had been full of jokes especially with jack sparrow, nonsense? you mean....

I haven't seen it, but it must be a good movie by the amount of spoilered text.

[Nurvingiel]

I haven't seen it yet, and I'm glad to hear it's better than the second one, because that one kind of stank. I'm excited to see it, I'll post back when I do!

Or else a really lousy one.

better than second one, but that isn't saying much. needlessly long and confusing.

Saying its better than the second is like saying Hitler is not as evil as Stalin cause he didn't kill as many. Horrible movie, it destroyed enough braincells to make me want to go see Live free or Die hard.

[Acalewia]

ok I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed this but in Dead Man's Chest Beckett said he and Jack left their marks on each other. We know Beckett left a brand on Jack but it was never explained what mark Jack left on Beckett

And with as much whining (for lack of a better word) Will did about his father being a pirate he sure ended up acting like a pirate.

[Curubethion]

Aww, cmon, it was Pirates. Not as cool as ninjas, granted, but the premise of the movie was just to have some good fun.

And it was certainly NOT the best trilogy of the decade. *cough*LOTR*cough* Pfaff.

1. There's an ending after the credits on every movie. In the first movie, it brought a plot point up that you found out in the second movie. In the second movie, it was just a funny scene. In the third movie, it was a nice artistic touch.

2. I looked it up, and it is the East India Trading Company, as little sense as that may make.

It must be noted there was also a British owned East India Company that indeed had its own fleet and army. In fact it was its own government in the East, running British India as its own private property until the Sepoy Rebellion in the 19th Century and pretty much controlling the Malacca Straits (and thus Singapore), largely making it the center of South East Asian trade. Is the flag used in the film accurate? No, it is not. The British East India Company (established in 1600) used a version of the British naval ensign with 13 red and white stripes, but without the company logo. As for the company logo, I can give no definitive answer on this as all I've ever seen is the company ensign. As to what a company whose entire interest was in the Indian Ocean would be doing in the Caribbean, much less ordering the Royal Governor of that same region's wealthiest (and thus most influencial) colony is quite beyond me. As an aside and bit of trivia, the BEIC ensign is (quite by accident) indentical to the Continental Colors, the first flag of the (soon to be) United States, flown by General Washington on the 2nd January, 1776.

Ah I see, I allready thought we never really had anything to say in the Caribean. Nice to know I'm right for a change. Didn't know the two companies went by the same name though. Thanks for looking it up.

I saw this movie in the theatre and now I am the proud owner of a copy of it. I loved this one. They are all very good, but this one is my favorite.
