Anyone else disappointed in Pirates? **Spoilers**

[nurseypoo5]

I loved the first one, and LOVE LOVE LOVE JOHNNY DEPP, but ack....

What was up with the way it ended? I couldnt get into Davy Jones (i kept thinking monkey everytime i heard the name) and they did not utilize Depp in a good way nor Orlando much at all. Depp just looked so silly all the time, running like a girl and acting all freaked out all the time. He was oh so much cooler in the first film (and more sexy).

That being said....i love the idea of Pirates and I adore Johnny Depp (wasnt a big Orlando fan until this movie...ummm he's "maturing" hehe)..its not like i wont buy it on dvd and rewatch it, but I'll not pay to see it again at the theater (i saw Pirates of the Carribean 4 times)

I hope its like back to the future trilogy, remember the second one ended the same way and it sucked but the third one was really good...sigh, lets hope so!

Re: Johnny Depp/Cpt. Jack - I thought he was just as swishy in the first movie as he was in this one.

As far as the movie itself: Yes, it was an obvious set-up for the next film but then we all knew we'd be seeing all three anyway so I expect they thought we wouldn't mind. At least we don't have to wait three years like between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi...

I thought the middle stretched a bit, but our whole family had a great time.

Enjoyed the red carpet at Disneyland and got to ride the updated ride the night before it reopened, so we had to see the movie. (Would have anyway of course.)

Enjoyed the movie. I thought it would be a set up for movie three and that's just what it was. It will be better when they are all out on DVD and you can watch three right after two.

Our family loved the movie. A little long maybe, and we could have done without the whole cannibal thing, but those are small complaints. We had a gas seeing it, and OUR reaction to the ending was very positive! Bring it on!

I think they guarenteed even bigger ticket sales by killing off a certain someone.

We also LOVED #2. No complaints here !!!!

I thought the kiss between Capt. Jack and Elizabeth was HOT, HOT, HOT!!! Capt. Jack was just as sexy in #2 as #1, IMO.

Can hardly wait to see #3- I want to see how Capt. Jack defeats the "Beastie".

I loved the 2nd! I didn't think it was that long at all.

 

[marconat]

I kind of knew it was finish when I saw Barbosa coming down... but I can't wait to see the 3rd one... I LOVED it!!!!

 

[plutospup]

I couldn't believe how fast 2.5 hrs went by! We loved it! Although it was different from the original, it was a GREAT movie!!!! The make-up and costuming was excellent, as well as the script. Can't wait until May 25, 2007 for P3!!!!!!!!!!

Well, let's hope its that ghastly Davy Jones character. I just couldn't get into him at all. I thought Johnny needed a little more starch in his shorts myself and I'm a huge JD fan. He didn't seem to have any cajones at all until that kiss~~WOW! But even there I was scratching my head--I mean, Elizabeth had just been rolling her eyes at him and wrinkling her nose at his bad breath. So it's not quite believable that she would kiss him so passionately.

Let's hope POTC3 clears it all up and blows us out of our seats.

I thought the kiss between Capt. Jack and Elizabeth was HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel this way! I thought the kiss was so hot and I'm so jealous! I was never a Johnny Depp fan before, but I am now. I also agree that Will looked pretty hot as well. So much better than his LOTR days. I'm torn between who I like better. I've decided, I want to be a pirate!

Maybe I shouldn't tell my DH...

Only in this whole world could JOHNNY DEPP make a kiss that hot between a beautiful girl and a man with half black teeth who looks as if he hasnt bathed in over a year!!

Yup, he's smokin'

funny we had cute and clean Orlando, but it was the 42 yr old Depp who had us squirmin'!

But as I said, Orlando was lookin pretty good too. Esp. in the water scenes or fight scenes.

Ok, time to get this back to a "G" rated thread.

 

[pittypat]

To the OP-I couldn't agree more! I also loved the first Pirates, but what happened to Jack Sparrow's spine?? Too much caricature of the first Jack. And, am I the only one who doesn't like what they're doing with Elizabeth's character? I loved her in the first movie and really didn't like her at all in this one. But, like the other poster said, usually movie #2 in a series of 3 is the stinker (remember Indiana Jones and the Temple of Toom? Yuck!)

 

[Tantor]

Loved #2 can't wait for #3

I was disappointed in PiratesII, it was an OK movie but that's about it...

No character development - the only new thing we learned about these characters is with Will relationship to his father. There was not much introduction to the characters. It felt like we were tossed into the middle of a movie, which some would argue we were since we had already seen part I. I would rather not have to watch the first one to enjoy the second.

Too much violence - It is an action movie but the violence just didn't seem to end. I thought they could have shortened some of those seens.

Very similar story to Pirates I - I found the plot to very similar to Pirates I. Couldn't they have thought of something different?

I have also been disappointed with Disney's marketing of this movie. They have been directly marketing this to young children but yet it is a violent PG-13 movie.

I think we're the only two that agree on these points. I left disappointed in #2, to me they tried too hard to top the first one and just made a mess of it. I too felt it was too dark/violence to target kids.

I went to see Superman the weeknd and though it was better than Pirates 2. Superman is so handsome I couldn't catch the storyline.
