Thumbs up. Very satisfying summer fare. If you’re the sort that needs to be critical about acting, scripting, plot devices or attention to detail, don’t go. You’ll miss the point like you usually do.
For everyone who knows how to enjoy a rollercoaster- enjoy.
Johnny Depp nails it. Steals the show. So much fun to watch you often forget the rest of the action. And then something blows up and you’re alright again. And how about those creature effects?! Smoley HOKES!
In other news, must see “TombRaider II – More Of Angelina Jumping Around In Tight Clothing” sometime this week. Maybe next Sunday matinee. Who’s in?
In other other news, I lobbed another album up in the gallery. Head on over and don’t forget to comment.
No no NO!!!
This is the only movie I have ever actually fallen ASLEEP @ while watching it in a theatre.
I thought it was horribly ass!
COMMENT:
how do you know, you were asleep!
Anyway… Ignore him, it rawked. I heard Johnny Depp modeled his role after Keith Richards. Oh it so fits!
I posted on this too.
Yup. My first impression was “SUCH a cool pirate!” and two seconds later it was “he’s a rock star. brilliant!”
Sorry you missed it, jesteR. Maybe give it another shot.
ooooooooo thanks for the reminder sir mischiff! i have been waiting for this to come out!
Weird. I found the pacing to be pretty tight, when I thought to be critical at all.
Well, like I said- it’s something you have to be in the mood for. I know it’s not for everybody.
Hell no.
It dragged onnnn and onnnn and onnnn. And I found Johnny Depp’s character to be horribly annoying.
And Gurton– the worst part is that I fell asleep, woke back up 20 minutes later, and didn’t really miss a thing.
S’all good, though– I didn’t go into it expecting anything.
Aside from Spellbound, the spelling bee documentary, Pirates is the only movie I’ve seen in theatres this Summer that I’ve actually really enjoyed (and I generally loathe all things Bruckheimer). But tell me this: Why is it that I’ve never found Johnny Depp attractive before until I see him practically mince about the screen, covered in dirt, with dreadlocks, gold teeth and the most rakish facial hair this side of the silent movies?
You like pirates?
