55.5 on it’s FIRST day. My god. Just when i start to think no one is even going to the movies anymore. I don’t know what to think. I’m happy about this, but also concerend that a film doesn’t really have to be all that good to do this kind of business. Wow. Think about that. 55.5 used to be great for an opening WEEKEND. Wowzers.

Spidey 3 then Shrek the Third then Pirates 3 = biggest May in history of movies ever coming our way…

I just returned home from the midnight show at the Ziegfeld. Man do those Davy Jones crewmembers look awesome. But yeah. I kinda feel the same way as i did last week. I like it. I just wish i loved it.

I’m all for shooting movies back to back..in think it’s cool…just don’t split ONE movie into two needlessly long ones. Have them both stand on their own. Have them both be cool. And what are you doing sailing in these spolier-infested waters, MDhuff??

Haven’t seen it yet, but gotta say, haven’t really been thrilled with the previews. Sooooo funny that they already have part 3 in the cutting room. Jokes on them. Not everyone can be Peter Jackson. Someone should have told them that.

haha. I agree with your assessment. I wasn’t a huge fan of the first film. I liked it, but I remember thinking it was too long - but, to my recollection, I do remember it telling a decent story. The biggest problem I have with this story is that it doesn’t standalone. All it does is set up the third film. There’s no real character development, and as much as I like Jack Sparrow, the movie portrays him as a total asshole. He sells people out to DIE without any intention of ever helping them—and even though he’s quirky, it still leaves an awkward taste in your mouth when watching the movie. It’d be like rooting for Lando, if he was just evil.

Still, entertaining mostly, Gore remains an amazing director - and there’s one swordfighting sequence at the end, that is probably one of the coolest choreographed action scenes of the year.

Three days later and i am still baffeled at the screenplay for this film. Shame on them for the dropping the ball like that. They have the coolest new character of the last decade or more and they don’t surround him with a film he’s worthy of. I enjoy leaving comments to my own posts.
