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

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...

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.

I disagree. I thought it was on par with the first movie, perhaps a little bit less original because we've become accustomed to the characters and some of the themes.

I am just saying that they really over hyped it and made it out to be the very best movie of all time when in fact it wasn't even close. Sequals aside, this one could have done a better job in the first 20 minutes. Secondly, they could have cut a lot of pointless crap out. I look forward to the return of the first pirate captain in the third movie.

I disagree. I really enjoyed Pirates. In fact, I have seen it twice now. After seeing it the first time, I was a bit disappointed. After seeing it the second time, I was entertained and understood every more clearly. It also helps if you see the original shortly before seeing the second. You will understand a lot more small details and catch things that the normal person may not.
No, it wasn't as good as the original, but sequels are hardly ever as good as the first. Kwok stated it correctly; we are just used to the charactors now so it doesn't seem as good as when we first saw the original.

I saw the first movie last week since I never go out to movies, so I wait till they're on TV. I thought it was quite good. Great effects with the cursed pirates, although my favourite scene was when Jack arrives at the dock at the start.

Just watched last night the "Night Watch" movie and, except for a few small gripes, it�s a superb movie...

It have well designed special effects, that don�t detract form the stories (contrary to a lot of movies lately that are more espceial effects showcases than movies), and a very compelling story. If you like fantastical tales with witches, vampires, shapeshifters and the like, you will have a full plate with this movie.

My only two gripes:
1. Too many characters for too small screen time, so a lot of interesting characters remain undeveloped.
2. No conclusion, this is only the first part of the story, the story apparently continues in the second movie of the series (Day Watch), and while some story arcs are resolved the main conflicts of the movie are left pending.

But, gripes aside, i found it an incredible movie, and can hardly wait for the second movie of the series...

I saw Superman Returns today... in 3-D Imax. Well, only some bits of it were done in 3-D, like scenes of Superman flying around.

Not a bad movie. Definitely one of the better Superman movies. Way better than the last movie, Superman IV The Quest for Peace, which was just awful. Kevin Spacey is very good as Lex Luther.

The Kryptonians were a Crystalline race!
