    POTC... blows chunks.

    Yes, I finally dragged myself to see this film... was it anything but a preview for the third (and hopefully) final film?

    I feel like $5.50 was stolen from me, as well as 2 hours of my life.

    I still haven't grown the 'nads to see this thing - didn't they film 2 & 3 at the same time?

    Binary opinion alert...

    ps: I really enjoyed it...

    ps: If you saw it for $5.50, you had the deal of the century there! Costs over £7 here in the UK!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    It was a matinee. Evening prices are $7.50.

    My big issue with it was it was an advertisement for the third one. I'm not going to bother.

    NOT a family/kids movie, that's for sure, even though it's been pushed here as such. In the first few minutes, there was a crow plucking the eye out of a living guy, and eating the flesh of another, a beheading, a scene of "convert and serve or die"... very dark, and not a whole lot of fun.

    It seems like anymore thast movies are made to just sell products. Like one big advertisement to buy the toys, dolls, food etc... and not about entertainment anymore..
    I liked the movie but it was nothing special. Also is not Davey Jones and the Flying Dutchman really two seperiate stories unrelated to one another? They have Davey Jones as the captian of the ship. I don't know. Maybe I am wrong.

    The Captain of the Flying Dutchman was reputed to be man named VanDervecken. Yea, I was somewhat disapointed too by the movie.

    Besides, Jack Sparrow is cuter than me.

    You do realize you're complaining about this on a forum for a website dedicated to gorey zombie flicks............. right?

    Huh?

    It's no more an "advert" for a third film than other "middle" films in a trilogy has been? Cast your mind back to maybe "The Empire Strikes Back", which has more loose ends than an unfinished jumper!

    The purpose of this film - being in the middle - is to have a good ride, but leave some doors open for the third.

    As for the films contents, and I guess that's why it's a PG13?
