Also, they killed the Kracken off screen - which was hella lame.HELLA. :wstupid
Dumbest scene has to go to the evil, Lord Cutler Beckett, who despite all the foreshadowing and promises, has absolutely no backstory developed here (in both films, Sparrow rubs a P that is branded on his forearm when his name is mentioned - which is ALL we get for backstory). When his ship is destroyed, he casually walks down the ship as it is EXPLODING INTO PIECES AROUND HIM in slow motion. It was so over-the-top and ridiculous, people were laughing hysterically.
Yeah, the Keith Richards cameo seemed kind of stupid in execution.
I think CrystalGemini said it best - walking out of At World's End felt a lot like walking out of Superman Returns.
i was going to see it last night but got sidetracked by a bar.If you liked pirates 2 you'd like pirates 3. They are basically the same movie. Lucky for me I was under-whelmed by 2.
pirates 1 = :rock
first 1/2 of pirates 2 = :yuck and :yawn
second 1/2 of pirates 2 = :hyper and :cocktease
from what everyone says of pirates 3 = :blueballs

Disagree.
POTC2 was basically snoresville up until they got off cannibal island. After that it was pretty good. The wheel action sequence went on way too long, and the dice game played by the crustacea-pirates wasn't explained well and that sequence was confusing. Oh, and Orlando Bloom and that skinny white bitch should not be in the movie at all. Those are the problems with PotC2.QFT QFT QFT IAWTP FHUTA

I still don't understand that dice game and i've watched that scene like 6 times.
Are you kidding about Orlando and Skinny White Whore? They are the WORST parts of the series! I'm not kidding when I say they should have been killed off in the first movie.

No, I'm unfortunately not. First off, it's a good forty minutes or so 'till we even get to see Johnny Deppy and until then it's the Legolas & Kiera show. Which even Geoffrey Rush is not able to salvage.
The last part of the movie completely revolves around those two. Also, and this is a spoiler:spoiler (click to show/hide)Kiera becomes KING of the Pirates![close]
... so she gets more screen time than ever before. They get married during the climatic battle, which apparently only three ships fight as hundreds just stay on opposite sides doing nothing, in one of the worst bits I've seen in these movies yet.
Even worse, while this is going on, there's a good twenty to thirty minutes near the end where Depp is stuck in jail doing nothing 'till he breaks out.
It was too long
So Dead Man's Chest was supposed to setup At World's End... except it didn't. Almost all the major plot points for At World's End had to be addressed with long, boring and rushed exposition.Yay for Hollywood!
i can't believe chow yun-fat was in the movie and he didn't even have ONE decent fucking action scene
I was so bored with part 2, I can't imagine I'll even rent this 3rd (rhymes with turd) one.
you know there's gonna be PoTC4: search for the fountain of youthIt is apparently penned in by disney for summer 2010. Bloom and Knightly will not be returning.

When his ship is destroyed, he casually walks down the ship as it is EXPLODING INTO PIECES AROUND HIM in slow motion. It was so over-the-top and ridiculous, people were laughing hysterically.Maybe I just read that differently, but I liked that scene. I saw it more as he thought he was invincible, and he couldn't believe that he was defeated, so he just walked casually down in disbelief as everything he thought about himself was shattered. I may be wrong on it, but reading it that way, it felt very satisfying.
er they aren't recasting them (also they both said they are done after pirates 3, unlike depp). Did you watch Pirates 3? The story of their characters has nothing to do with sparrow and barbosa and has closure.you know there's gonna be PoTC4: search for the fountain of youthIt is apparently penned in by disney for summer 2010. Bloom and Knightly will not be returning.
their characters are out or they aren't reprising their rolls?
