Thanks. I did think those bits were funny, though strange

I have seen POTC 3 three times, and each time was better than the last. I especially loved Jack Sparrow's lines.

He was insane to begin with being in Davy Jones' Locker didn't help plus he was rum deprived

Well, Jack keeps joking about that eunuchy - thing, so...

LOL!

One word to describe this movie: WEIRD! I think Jack went a little too insane. The peanut thing was waay "out there" as far as weirdness goes. Only multiple Jack scene I enjoyed was the "Think like Will"/"Nobody move! I dropped me brain!" part.

Bittersweet ending with Will dying. He looks comical with an earring and bandanna on. I wanted to laugh. The ending scene, I think, wasn't that worth it. I sort of guessed he would come back. But if they make another movie, it would have to be about the Fountain of Youth thing. And it would have to be 10 years later. Because you HAVE to have Will and Elizabeth, and now the not-so-handsome son. Oh boy.

Another LOL.

That was the whole point of the first movie, he realized you can be a pirate and a good man.

Which is a silly concept in the first place, and ultimately why I don't like any of the films very much. This guy explains why I particularly disliked the second(and the third for that matter).

Haha that was great.

Nautipus · 09-24-2007, 03:22 PM

I actually liked the movie overall, but my favorite two characters died: Davy Jones and the Kraken.

rohirrim TR · 09-25-2007, 07:38 PM

cracken! Cracken.. CRACKEN!!!????

Nautipus · 09-25-2007, 07:39 PM

DUDE!!! That was really loud, and it echoed. I live in an acoustic dead zone, so it's kind of creepy. Wow.
It's spelled Kraken, btw.

Curubethion · 11-12-2007, 12:54 AM

Yeah, I finally saw this movie! Yeah, loved it! The ending was really interesting...and the secret ending, I liked how it brought everything full-circle. It was just like the beginning of the first movie.

I wonder what the fake pieces of eight were, then, the ones that the Dutch East India Company had.

And yeah, the parts with Jack's duplicates were a bit weird, but funny.

That swordfight between Davy and Jack was awesome.

***Valandil*** · 12-11-2007, 11:37 PM

My wife and I rented it and saw it last weekend.

I didn't like it very much at all. Many of my critiques have already been covered. But really, wasn't the whole premise sort of bothersome? What... "Let's make the world safe for Piracy!"??

Wasn't it totally ironic that the film was preceeded by a standard "FBI Anti-Piracy" statement?

Bad job all around. And now I'm seeing these advertisements on TV for the DVD's, touting PotC as "The Best Trilogy of the Decade". PUH-LEASE!

Someone mentioned the swordfight... why couldn't I get PP vs CH out of my head?

Nautipus · 12-11-2007, 11:43 PM

It definately wasnt the best of the three, and they certainly went overboard on alot of stuff (like all the Jacks, Pirate-Queen), but it did have its good points.

Curubethion · 12-11-2007, 11:46 PM

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.

Rubbish. Too much special-effecting going on. Give me the sword-fight in the smithy in the original film any day.

2 things:
1) secret ending? Did I miss something?
2) Not the Dutch East India Company, the Caribean was mainly British teritory, and Beckett is British too. So I don't think it is the Dutch EIC. Wasn't there a British equivalent or the ordinary British fleet active in that area?

Curubethion · 12-17-2007, 03:15 PM

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.
