Pirates of t3h Caribbean 3, a review
So, yesterday I got the
chance to see Pirates of the Caribbean:
At World’s End. All I can say is “wow.” That was actually a pretty
gosh-darn good movie. The first one was still the best, but this came in at a
very close second. It reminded me of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Freebird. It was really slow in the beginning, but still good. You
could almost sing along to it. Then, about a third of the way through the
movie, it picked up and just started kicking all manners of (butt). It seemed
like they did everything fans asked for in this film. The first thing they did
was play down Will Turner. He was still a main character, but he hardly spoke,
and was hardly on screen. A big plus, I can assure you.
They also brought back
one of my favorite characters from the first movie, Capt. Barbossa. Sure, he
says every line in the exact same way, but it’s a good way. It makes me want to
emulate it at work, but I think I might get fired for that (ya-harr). Also
seeing far more screen time and story involvement is Keira Knightley’s
character (Keira Knightley… swoon). She suddenly and arbitrarily rose from a
ship hand to the King of Pirates. It was rather comical. There was even fan
service at the film’s finale (swoon). Pity that that schmuck Orlando Bloom had
to be in the shot, but it was worth it. Ahem, anyway, about the film… it was
quite good. It had a lot of action and stunts that were fun to watch. It also
had the humor. Humor, for those of you who don’t know, is necessary for a movie
to be considered even “good” in my book. So, if you’ve seen the other movies,
you don’t need to be told to see this one (it should be implied). If you
haven’t, then you should watch the other two movies, and then watch this one.
And not just for Keira Knightley.

Yup, I saw it yesterday too.
And Keira did looked awesome in the Chinese clothes. And is was amusing that Jack's idea of hell was a crew made up entirely of himself. Although I would have liked more of Jack's dad. And who's kid was the boy who died in the beginning? I wonder if they're going to make a fourth one. Which reminds me, did you see the extra bit at the end of the film?
I remember the video game this was based off of, you know, Monkey Island?
But yeah, haven't seen any of them those pirate movies.
yeah it wasn't bad, but some aspects of it disappointed me. It seemed like they wanted to jam so much into one movie and some of it could have been left out - like Jack's dad, etc. (although jack's dad was pretty cool.
some parts were kinda cheesy, but hey - that's potc, right? For example - the marriage in the middle of a fight? Just seemed a bit dumb for me.
I didnt quite get where Elizabeth got her fighting ability though - that was quite odd. All the sudden she could kick ass and take names in this movie o_O. And I did notice that Will didn't get as much screen-time, but I never liked his character too much anyway. But he is cooler now that he is undead and attatched to that ship, hahah.
But overall, yeah , I liked it.
This can't have effect in actual fact, that's exactly what I believe. 9 web here. It can't work as a matter of fact, that is what I consider. 7 6 here. A great deal of useful information for me! check web site. Really effective data, thanks for this article.
