Official 'Pirates is the best adventure series ever' thread
Indiana Jones has been topped, just got back from Deadmans Chest and I have nothing but positive things to say about it.
2.5 hours of action adventure bliss, the soundtrack is SUPERB one of the best I have ever heard, the acting is great especialy for Sparrow who again is one of the funniest and most interesting characters of all time, and the special effects are out of this world.
I reckon even if you hated the first movie (which I can't even imagine myself) you would love this one, it's just so fkn awesome.
So glad I saw this after Superman because I never would've been so much harsher on Superman if it had been the other way around, this movie sets the bar VERY high and I'm sure whatever movie I see next will seem worse than it actualy is because of that.
9.5 out of 10, .5 missing because I want the sequel so god damn much!

GreyWizard seems to have the exact opposite opinion on movies to other people, then critiscizes them. He was bagging out peoples taste in the PN Movie thread... when the majority had similar interests.
PotC2 is my most anticipated movie this year... and i can't wait to see it. I wanted to go last night, but the person i was going with had to work back. Fucken cunt. Going over the weekend now.

Dude, I didn't bag this out. just said I realise why I don't like these movies. It is the subject matter. It doesn't interest me. If it doesn't interest me then I am going to be bored.
But let me say, this film is better then the first. Orlando Bloom seems more into his role and less out of place. There are some truly memorable and spactacular moments. Slight problem with having so many leads, but like I said only a slight problem.
If this was my kind of film I probably would have enjoyed it.
But I still have to say the first film was a real stinker, it was predictable, badly cast and not very interesting.

I saw Pirates 2 the other day and really enjoyed it. The comparison to Indiana Jones movies is an excellent one - action packed and light-hearted (as opposed to action packed and tense).
After the movie I found myself comparing it to the Star Wars Trilogy though. Mostly in the way the story has been told and where it's at at the end of the second movie (I'm not going to post spoilers but if you've already seen Pirates 2 then have a think about it).
Anyway, Depp does a great job as Sparrow again, and this time I didn't look at Bloom and immediately think 'Elf'.
I give it 7.5 organ playing tentacles out of 10.

I saw it tonight, and no fucking way in hell would I rate it above the Indiana Jones series, at least not yet. But no way.
Some of the effects towards the end of the movie were really poorly done, particularly the kraken mouth behind Jack. Unless it was deliberately bad as some sort of homage to the pit of sarlacc in RoTJ?
