Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Anybody else see this? It's officially on my list of top-5 favorite movies of all time (and I didn't even like the first and second installments all that much). I thought the plotline was incredible, the action was stellar, and the graphics were top-notch. Dang, what a winner.
Plot elements that I really liked :
- Pirate lords representing every corner of the globe
- All of the individual machinations of the main characters resolving in the end
- No lame deus ex machina ending like in the second installment where Barbosa randomly came back from the dead.25 years old, 5'10''
Back in the States to get hayooooge!
Health goals
- Weigh a healthy and active 170-180, healthy mind and body
- Dunk a basketball (hey a man can have big dreams huh)
- Swim 2-3x/week and become a better swimmer

Saw it three days ago. The fight was amazing. Totally tops number 2 and just a bit better than number 1. I drank one of those giant things of coke and not once did I want to leave to pee, I just couldn't leave!
I really dug the first scene in Singapore, I was not expecting that!

I thought it was easily one of the worst, most boring, and unneccasarily long movies I have ever seen. The humor was directed towards children (children with incredibly poor senses of humor) which is my fault for going to a kids show, and I couldnt care less about any of the characters, there was nothing to make me care. I thought everything that makes a good movie/story was lacking. I would have left had my sister not purchased my ticket, of course she was the one falling asleep through the never ending action scene.
It's insanity that a movie that bad will make so much money.
But at least some other people enjoyed it.Last edited by smalls; 05-26-2007 at 03:20 AM.

I never understood what all the commotion was about with these movies. I didn't think the first one was very good, and second one was worse.
On a side note, Shrek 3 was really funny!

Oh man, are you serious? I think I laughed maybe once in the entire Shrek movie. I thought number three was atrocious! Originally Posted by Beast

The movie itself was good, but the movie theater was so hot that it was pretty unbearable. I drank 2 liters of water while I was there and still left thirsty.
The skeptic claim was that there was too much going on with the plot. I didn't really ever feel that way at any point.

Hmmmm, it came out here the exact same time it came out in the U.S.! Originally Posted by getfit

Just saw it, mediocre. The lovely Keira Knightly's role sucked in this movie, I just wasn't feeling her. I thought the whole movie was lacking in general.

If you like it, then great. If you don't, then great. If someone likes/hates something, that doesn't mean everyone else has to. I enjoyed the trilogy. And personally...what exactly do you want? It's based off a friggin' kiddy ride at Disneyland for crap's sake.
And humor aimed towards children? It is a Disney movie, after all...keep that in mind. But there were parts of that movie I thought were absolutely NOT for children. But whatever. I have yet to see the third Shrek movie.Last edited by sCaRz*Of*PaiN; 05-27-2007 at 01:28 AM.

The first and second Pirates films were fun. I would hardly call them high art, but as pop entertainment they were pretty solid. I thought this one was a poorly plotted, overlong, disjointed mess. I enjoyed Shrek 3, 28 Weeks Later, and even (the seemingly reviled) Spiderman 3 much more.
If you do go, though, stay past the end credits. As with all the entries in the series, there is a coda.
We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesnt realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.

I just saw it, and found it really dull. I haven't been that bored in a theater since The Da Vinci Code.

The Da Vinci Code blew more than Rod Stewart. POTC3 was ALMOST as bad, the only that kept me up is the girl that invited me to the flick kept putting her hand inside my pants. That's the advantage to the XXL shirt I wore. lol

I thought the fighting scenes were pretty good, but other then that it could have been cut down to an hour and a half movie. I was bored for the most part but then again I'm not the biggest fan of the Pirates trilogy.

If you're not a big fan, why'd you pay to see all 3?

I really don't understand all the poeple saying "man that movie blew" or "I was bored out of my mind."
C'mon, honestly, I really doubt you said that right after seeing the movie. Sure, it wasn't my favorite movie ever, but it was still definitely good. There's thousands and thousands of other movies out there, you can't honestly say Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was one of the worst movies you've ever seen.
