I loved the first movie for what it was.

I came into the theatre with an actual checklist of pirate cliches (eg: pirate removes eye patch to reveal maggots inside; bar fights; drunken wenches; a mischievous monkey; fat pirate and skinny pirate comic relief), and the film met (nearly) every item on the list.

I was SO satisfied.

So we’re going to pretend that the Pirates trilogy is on par with Star Wars or Lord of the Rings? Or that the first movie showed any suggestion that the writers had ANY IDEA what the second and third movies would be about (its clear that they didn’t)?

Lets not kid ourselves.

But anyway, lets name some great movies that have an episodic sequel format (the only thing that develops is maybe a core relationship):
Burton’s Batman movies (and the Schumacher sequels)
Indiana Jones
Alien/Aliens
Predator
X-men
Nolan’s Batman
Toy Story
Spiderman
James Bond
Star Trek
Lethal Weapon
Die Hard
Godzilla
Any Horror movie series.

I love Johnny, but enough is enough. This franchise ran (or sailed) itself into the ground. I’m done.

Right, because who needs a good, epic storyline like Star Wars or Lord Of The Rings? Gimme a break. Trilogies are a classic example of a three-act film epic, and if done right they rock. They could potentially make a new trilogy that rocks.

We’re not bashing Pirates…just the third film. The writing and direction was just so lacking. The plot wasn’t half as solid as that of the first film, which remains my personal favorite for many reasons.

T’would be a spot of brilliance in the casting department.

I dont recall much of the second, but the third pissed me off when they used Captn sparrow as a gag character. friggin idiots.

But then again, it does fit with the series and it’s characters, so I guess it’s not all bad.

I liked the first 2 movies allot, first one most of all. But I felt the 3rd one was just a huge, long, and pointless mess. I did love the part where Jack is trapped in the other plain of reality, that shit was just funny and crazy as hell. My girl friend bought it, just so we can have the whole series, I pop it in now and then just to watch that one part.

I can stand to see another one, but only if it does just focus on Jack, or Jack and Barbosa, if the guy who played him does come back for another. And if the plot actually has purpose of story, unlike part 3.
