| Pirates 2.
The first half was really long, and sort of pointless. Enjoyable, yes,
but the natives thing was drawn out wayyy too far. Lots of funny bits
here and there, mostly references to the first movie, which were
generally good. Then the movie remembered it had a plot and got going
with the Davy Jones storyline, which was okay. A little bit out there,
maybe, but then again the first one had zombie pirates. We can do
zombie fish pirates.
There was much swashbuckling, of course, and it was very entertaining.
The swordfights were entertaining without being cheesey, most of the
time. Everything you liked from the first movie, you'll like in the
second movie. The thing is, you've already seen it. Only now it was a
waterlogged plot and way more gags. But the gags are good! And the
action's good!
It's sort of a Pirates Empire Strikes Back.
We're sort of left hanging, one of the heroes is MIA. The crew is in
sorry shape and it looks like there's no hope. Sounds like ESB to me.
Except that ESB was the BEST star wars movie, and this will probably be
the WORST Pirates movie.
**Yarr, there bere spoilers down below!**
There's one other
thing... It's definitely proving to be Elizabeth's strory, way more
than Will's or Jack's. Nobody really underwent any character
development except her. We all know Will is going to be the honorable
one that only swashes his buckle for the greater good, and we all know
Jack's a scurvy dog but he'll probably come through in the end (come
on, you knew he wasn't going to abandon his crew!)...but till now, we'd
not really seen the dark side of Elizabeth. Will and Jack represent the
"dichotomy of good and evil" in her, and it will be interesting to see
how they balance her love of piracy and adventures with her sense of duty and honor. What's with her
compass pointing to Jack?

This is a dog I used to have. He was impossibly enormous and his name is Big Dog. What a beast.
