Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately
Went and saw "Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Mans Chest" this weekend, and I can't decide if it was a good movie or if I got screwed.
Seems to me that about halfway through the movie it lost focus and meandered. And the end definitely bites. It was way too obviously geared toward a sequel, instead of closing out a storyline that already got lost occasionally.

Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately
To be fair, the ending is open because it's the second part of a trilogy.  |

The movie seem really out of place in today time, but overall it was not a bad movie, actually quite enjoyable.

Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately
Superhero comics are getting too grim and gritty. We need more optimism.

It was a good movie, and I'm not even a Superman fan. Lex Luthor was played well by Kevin Spacey, with a real vicious streak. And the Pom had some very distinct survival traits...  |

Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately
Pirates of the Carribbean - Dead Mans Chest
I want my f***ing money back! They lied. This movie is no where near as good as the first, hell its barely worthy of a matenee viewing. If you haven't seen this deception yet, save your money and rent, NOT BUY, but rent it on DVD. AFTER is goes to the $2.99 discount weekly price.
They lied, they lied, they out right f**king lied! Don't believe a word the critics are saying if they say they loved this movie. Who the hell are these critics anyways? Paid kronies of the Disney to be sure.. The movie stank, it was horrible, it was contrived, it was scripted worse than a bad video game, it just was abismal to say the least. Most of the movie should have ended up on the cutting room floor. Whole sloths of the film were just pointless waste. The script stank horribly, the editing was wrank, and for the first 20 minutes the whole movie made no damn sense at all. Abosolutely a complete con job on the "best movie ever" bull crap. 30 million people have seen this moive and I will bet most want their money back.
5 out of 10. (Special effects were great, acting was ok, humor was fair, nice scenery, hope for the sequal.
