***Woohoo, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is Out!***

[Ware Bears]

We went this afternoon ~ loved it!

I am amazed how few people waited for the bit after the credits.

 

[jillrobinson]

Just back, absolutely superb.

Cinema was packed and the 7.30 performance was already full at 6.30, so it was tickets for the 8.15 performance and over to McD's for a quick bite beforehand. Got back to the cinema at 7.45 thinking we'd have a choice of seating to find it was already 3/4 full.

We didn't stay for the credits it was 11.25, everyone needed the loo and DS's were dead tired, so a big thankyou for the info - wait til I tell the rest of them tomorrow.

Went to see it tonight and loved it, it is long but the story is great. Johnny and Orlando were as dishy as ever.

At the cinema I was really surpised at the amount of young children there, there were quite a few kids who looked under 5, I didn't really think it was a suitable film for little ones in content or in length! It was annoying bcos there was a family near us and the youngest looked about 3 and of course he got bored and kept making loads of noise and climbing over the seat.

First of all let me say that At World's End totally lived up to my expectations in most areas.

- visually it was stunning, the locations were absolutely beautiful and sets were very atmospheric, and the cinematography was awesome. The visual effects were once again outstanding and in a league of their own.

- the scriptwriting was superb and there was just the right amount of dialogue, humour, plot explanation given. There were some great references to the first film in the dialogue, and a brilliant ride reference at one point!

- character development - I was really impressed by the development of most of the characters, and felt the scriptwriters had chosen the right path for each of the characters. Though like Hazel I was disappointed by Tia Dalma'a final scene. Knowing the visual effects this team are capable of you would think they could have come up with something better than what they did.

- the acting was again amazing, as they are all so natural and believeable in their roles. I felt Orlando Bloom was less wooden, and although Keira pouted a lot, her character was a lot more likeable in this film than in DMC. Lee Arenburg and Mackenzie Crook were as funny as ever, and Jonny Depp and Geoffrey Rush were just brilliant.

- some of the scenes were a bit dark, but I suppose they needed to be such to create the required impact. There were quite a few under fives in the cinema, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't have taken a young child to see it. The opening scene is particularly shocking and has one hell of an impact. However, it really gave the atmosphere of what was going on at the time, and how important it was for the pirates to overcome Beckett and the IEC.

- overall the film was awesome, I can't wait to see it again. It was very fast paced at times and some bits appeared slightly rushed, as they obviously needed to cram a lot in, but it was certainly not too long, in fact I imagine they had to cut an awful lot of good bits out of it. I also like the fact that while the trilogy was concluded, there is an opening for the next installment, should they choose to do one (please please please). I now have that feeling you have when you get back from a holiday - flat and miserable. So I think the only cure will be to go see it again in a couple of weeks.

Wonderful, Breathtaking, Awesome, Johnny Depp, the rest of the cast were pretty darn good to. Loved the film. The special effects were stunning. One question though, Right at the begining did any one else notice that the young lad who was awaiting his fate on the gallows was wearing Braces!!!, didnt know they had them way back then lol. Glad to see right at the end though we were left with a MAYBE, maybe more to come I hope so. PRETTY PLEASE.

Saw it on friday night
and then went again on saturday night.

and i shall be going again.

Spoilers below. Ye be warned!

I had worked out from the previous film that Tia Dalma (aka. Calypso) was Davy Jones love, due to the lockets (i spotted hers on her table during the whole dar of dirt thing).
and the Will becoming captain of the Flying Dutchman?
Lets just say I was a bit gutted. but oh well.
I doubt it will be done but if there is a fourth one, I think I may have the plotline worked out.

I have to go against the flow and say it really didnt do it for me.

I loved POTC1 & thought POTC2 was a complete waste of time, POTC3 fell somewhere in between. I would go to see a POTC4 as I think it would be more like POTC1 as 2 & 3 where just 1 big story which I didnt enjoy.

Orlando was well worth the entry fee alone though.

Spoiler in white -I feel sorry for Elizabeth, 10 years for 1 day??? Stuck on a deserted island with just her son for company, whats that all about?? She really got a rough deal there!

Hi, we went yesterday and thought it was good, I never really got number 1 (that's not about pirates, they're dead!!) - I really should have read about it before I went to see it!! Number 2 I liked and this one definitely topped it, especially captain jack!! He's a funny man!

The ending was different to what I expected, but def hope there'll be a number 4.

Spoiler reply in white: Yes poor Elizabeth got a raw deal, now 10 years to wait for one day with Mr Depp..........!

Also, does that mean she'll age but Will won't??

And I wasn't 100% sure that was a boy, anyone else think it could have been a girl???

Response to arielwish in white -

I assumed it was a boy an having pondered your thoughts I still do.

I reckon Elizabeth will age and Will won't so if there is a POTC4 he will need bringing back somehow

Reading various interviews and articles and it seems the crew and Johnny would be up for a 4th film but Kiera and Orlando want to move on from POTC after doing these 3 films.

I was soooooo looking forward to PotC3, and I can't believe how disappointed I was with it. I think I'll have to watch it again and hope that it grows on me, but I just thought it was too long, not funny enough, with some pretty daft but unfunny parts in it too

I know I'll get it on DVD and I'll also go to see PotC 4 if it comes out, but I wasn't overly impressed with this one

Give it a year, once neither of them has another popular film i'm sure the pay cheque will start to look appealing!

We went this afternoon and I was really disappointed. It was really dull both visually and story wise. The last 45 minutes was a lot better and I'm glad we stayed for the extra bit at the end, even if it was rather predictable.

They should have stopped with the first film which was excellent and I have watched a number of times - something I seldom do with films.

At least DD was happy with the multiple Depps!

Further thoughts on previously mentioned spoilers in white

after using a day of my study leave (do not panick, my exams are over) to research the whole Will, Captain of the Flying dutchman, I have learned something.
As long as Elizabeth remained faithful to Will over the 10 years, Will would be freed from being Captain and would return to her. (otherwise, he would become like Davy Jones and end up with a fish face) Then calypso will choose a new captain ( this has never happened, as Davy Jones was the first captain.)
I can't quite remember, but was there a green flash in the scene at the end of the credits?
If there was, it would also go along with the above ^. Will is possibly a soul technically returning from the dead.


end of spoiler 1.

More below.
they killed NORRY. gutted much?
and governor swann.
seriously, kill all the guys that you just feel bad for anyway.

More later methinks.

 

[ely3857]

Highlight here > Given that Elizabeth is on a deserted island i'd say there's every chance she remian faithfull however in the final final scene (after the end credits) Will came back to see Elizabeth so I guess if there was a POTC4 there's the get out clause for Will

Annnndddd here --> ahh yess.. although I have also heard rumors that keira and orlando don't want to do another (i think they will give in to be honest lol!) and it would probably be easliy done without them. With the whole Fountain of Youth , Jack having the Map. Barbossa having the ship thing, they should have plenty to work with.

And for the record
I was also very happy with the multiple Depps.
But would also have been happy with multiple Mr Blooms

Went to see it this evening with DS loved it ,

waited for the end only one other family stayed too

[arieliwish]

Well, I'm going to see it again this afternoon!!! DD has been at guides camp since saturday so I went to pics on sunday with DS. DD is home is needs to see it NOW!!! I'm not complaining......!

Lynn

 

[carolfoy]

I loved it, thought it was great, loads of action, and multiple Depps!!!! what more can a girl ask for?

 

[BingsingsWaltDisney]

went yesterday with DD Olivia who has seen it twice
now and loves it.

So here goes is this blasphemus, it was long, boring, and
only had a couple of laughs. Sorry it was not up to par.

another issue is with the certificate of 12A. this is a get
out clause, so that little kids can go and see it. I'm sorry
but there were scenes that were not meant for little
kids, in particular when one of the hand-maidens gets
shot in the head

the other two were very good and its a pity this was
so bad in my opinion. There again I soppose it was a
bit of eye candy for the ladies
